3. Only negative was that one day I came back at around 2:30/3:00 in the afternoon to get ready for a tradeshow that I had that evening, and the room was just then being made up.

4. If I had to find something negative about the room, it would maybe be that some corners were quite dusty, which is understandable in a room full of furniture ( housekeeping must have trouble moving around with the vaccuum cleaner, I know I would), but not something for 'clean freaks'.

7. If I had to be negative about anything to do with the hotel I would say that the air conditioning was abit loud in the room, and internet access wasn't free (but not expensive either) but apart from that it was a great little place.

8. Sorry to be so negative but with so many great hotels in Boston I really felt let down by the experience.

9. The only negative comment we had was that a fee was necessary here to use the computer with internet access, while at most of the other hotels we visited, this was a complimentary service.

10. Only one or two negatives - the surrounding neighborhood is a bit run down with many empty storefronts, etc.
