6. The only downside is that the desk chair is more like a dining chair than an office chair because it didn't have wheels.

7. The real downsides are more indicative of Boston that the hotel itself: expensive parking ($40 for 24-hours +tip the valet), Internet is $15 so I ended up walking over to a coffee house to use the free wifi, and a bit of a cold, faceless vide to the whole place, although some people prefer that I suppose.

"Nice location, well-maintained, mostly positive experience " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/29/2011 Vote

8. downside the mattress pad, no call back from the General Manager and no free internet.

"Justin, Danielle and Yajita Are Fabulous " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/26/2011 Vote

9. Only downside I can think of is that it's not the closest walking distance to 'everything', but it is still walking distance to most things, as Boston is a small place.

"Consistently excellent. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/5/2011 Vote

10. The oonly downside is that many of the 'harbor view' rooms have limited views and the design of the hotel requires one to close the blinds because of views from other rooms.
