I just wanted to leave a quick review for a staff member. My mum was staying in the hotel and I needed to get her airline ticket to her from Ireland. The lady I was speaking to was named Ladasha and she could not have been more accomodating. Very polite and courteous as I am sure it was quite a strange request to get. Just wanting to make people aware of how nice she is

Pros: Great Location. The hotel is less than a 2 minute walk from the MBTA station, and very close to Copley Place and the Public Garden, among other attractions.
Cons: Not very clean, felt cheap, and the walls have poor insulation (I can hear people in the room next to us use the bathroom and bits of there conversations while I'm in bed). The most disappointing part with our stay was how the faculty handled complaints. On our last night there we had some teenagers throw a party in the room next to us. Because of the poor wall insulation, we could here everything and feel the base from there music. I called the front desk a couple of of times who assured me they would take care of it, but as they got more wild and has more people came over to their room, I went to the front desk to talk with them, who didn't even call their room from our last couple of conversations. Another neighbor came to complain about them the same time I did. The only effort the front desk did was call their room to have them settle down, but he told me to "give them a break because it's still early (8:00 PM) on a weekend night and they're waiting to have fun." That really turned me off, and I asked him to knock on their door to have them settle down, but he declined telling me to give them till 10:00 and see if they're still the same. I asked if he could please move them to a different room but he said he could only move us if it was a problem. It got so bad my wife and I had to pack up and move rooms, and the hotel did nothing to accommodate us.
