1. The only complaint we had was that one of the beds had a horrible, sticky-textured feel to it and the pillows weren't very comfortable so you may want to bring your own.

9. One of my girlfriends read these reviews and brought her own sleeping bag and pillow and slept on top of the covers-- turned out to be a bonus move because when we returned from the concert around midnight our room was 60 degrees and when we called the front desk about the heat we were informed that the whole hotel has no heat.

"If you're going to Fenway with the guys or a girls' night out, stay. Otherwise, you should maybe keep looking. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/1/2009 Vote
