Back to Earth with a BUMP

Advantages: Location, large room
Disadvantages: Appalling customer service, tiny bathroom, uncomfortable bed, DANGEROUS balcony

...opt for on holiday. The Radisson was rated as a 3 ½ star on Expedia, it had a good feedback rating from past clients both on expedia and on "www.tripadvisor.com", the rate was $192 (£100 approx) a night and so I went ahead and booked. Location and arrival Boston is a small city and one would have to be quite unlucky to find oneself in a hotel in an inconvenient location for this reason. So, we were perfectly happy with the central location ...
...planning to stay in a Radisson I would recommend asking for a regular bed if they still do them. The bathroom was beautifully and newly done. The walls were white "brick style" tiles which I thought were very attractive with the chrome fittings, including one of those oversize shower heads. It was a tiny space though, I could easily touch opposite walls simultaneously without even stretching and the door opening / closing just about cleared the ...

Christmas In Boston, Stay Here

Advantages: Location and Price are very good
Disadvantages: Not much I could find

...at in Boston, The Boston Park Plaza. ++++++++++Booking++++++++++ I booked our stay through Expedia www.expedia.co.uk and was paid upfront, I managed to get the hotel for an average rate of £50.10 per night for the three nights, on top of the room rate there is also the dreaded tax which was £7.87 per night. The hotel has it's own web site where you can make a booking and have a look at the facilities etc www.bostonparkplaza.com, although I would ...
...in bulk. ++++++++++Location++++++++++ The park Plaza is located in the Back Bay area of Boston. The hotel is located on the junction of Arlington and St James Ave, there is a very large multi-storey car park or garage as the Americans like to call them across the street. There is also Arlington station a MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) station within 100 metres, this is on the green line a very handy line as it stops at most of ...

Boston Tea Party

Advantages: 'European' sized rooms can be a bargain
Disadvantages: Easy to fall into the trap of putting expensive drinks on the bill!

...it shows. The Omni Parker Hotel opened in 1855 and is situated right on the Freedom Trail - you couldn't ask for a more perfect setting to explore Boston. For America, this hotel is really old, and was the location for the famous 'Boston Tea Party'. For Europeans a 110 year old hotel is somewhat less amazing! Some of the rooms are named after famous literary figures who have stayed there: Ralph Waldo Emerson & Louisa May Alcott. John F Kennedy proposed ...
...expensive dining costs in the Omni Parker. If you can't do without your gym and if there's not enough walking for you, the hotel has its own gym. I couldn't tell you what its like though! For an authentic American bar experience - and a chance to be horrified at the legendary American portion sizes, turn left out of the hotel, pass the very new boutique Hotel Nine Zero and enter the bar on the corner. You could be on the set of 'Cheers'. There are ...

Doubletree Downtown Hotel, Washington St, Boston

Advantages: Clean, comfirtable, close to theatres/restaurants/Boston Common/Subway station
Disadvantages: Nearby local hospital with busy ER department

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in early September. the hotel itself appears quite new, and so all the usual facilities you would expect and want at a standard modern hotel are there. . Staff on arrival were very friendly and helpful, both with quickly processing our reservation, and providing advice about local facilities. Within 5 minutes walk of the hotel there are numerous restaurants/bars ranging from American, Thai, Chinese, ...
...(McDonalds, Subway etc etc). Just make sure when you leave the hotel you get your beraings right and turn left towards the main part of town. If you go right you fairly quickly get to some rather 'quiet' and lonely parts of the city, especially on an evening! The hotel also has it's own restaurant just off the lobby area. The hotel aslo had access to a pool and gym/leisure facilities, but we didn't try them so I can't comment on them. Boston Common ...

A five-star front desk at a Marriott in Boston

Advantages: Extremely efficient front desk, ideal location for power shopping and sightseeing
Disadvantages: No ghosts, a/c leaked, staying at Marriott can lead to telephone solicitation later

...the Hynes Convention Center in Boston in September 2004. Earlier in the year, our convention committee presented a choice of two hotels, Sheraton Boston and Marriott Copley Place. Before booking, I dashed an email off to the concom, asking whether either of them was haunted. I hit the jackpot at the Royal York in Toronto the previous year, maybe I would this one as well. I was told neither had ghosts. It was discouraging, but when attending a Worldcon, ...
...Many hotels in central Boston usually ask $300-400. Regardless, I wanted to keep my expenses down. In true fannish style, I looked for roommates to split the costs and found a couple, Sionna and Rebecca. Only one was staying for the entire six nights, but such is life in the spec-fi convention world. In order to save us some grief, I asked the Marriott to set up separate accounts for each of us. This allowed us to all check in when we arrived, have ...
