Hilton Boston Park Plaza
The room was ridiculously small, only one small chair, no place for a couple to sit and relax. The shower was outdated, a small tub with a shower head. Food was way over priced even with the $15 “credit”. Staff tried to be quite pleasant and helpful.

The Langham, Boston
Very nicely decorated room, fine furnitures. Love its hot tub, pool, and fitness room. The hotel manager is really nice and helpful but some of the staff.
