1. But it was late, was only staying one night, and was not up to finding another hotel, and then fighting to get the charge for this dump off my credit card.

5. I have never been asked to park my car in the back to accomodate Red Sox parking for which they charge $40 on game night.

6. Was charged $20 a night to park the car which I knew about ahead of time-what they don't tell you is that if the Red Sox are in town the hotel guests have to park way in the back so they can charge people wanting Red Sox parking $40 each.

10. Staff did little to deal with multiple late night disturbances, loud drunks banging on doors for an hour at 3am, fire alarms, etc. Also, when I forgot something in the room and remembered the same night, they were unable to give it to me, but instead will mail it to me and charge me for the mail fee.
