Long Beach Suites
Easy parking, great looking furnishings. But the only problem we had was that the internet and wireless was very slow and constantly dropped signals. The individual room thermostats with remotes were not so intuitive.

DoubleTree by Hilton Boston North Shore
The overall condition of the hotel is just okay. Everything seems pretty old and outdated. The carpet in our room had seen better days and the room could haven been cleaned better. The breakfast selection was good.
