BOSTON

13/10/2008 Washington - Boston (km. 770) A posteriori questo trasferimento in auto è stato un errore. Avrei dovuto prenotare un volo interno. Durante il tragitto, l'unica cosa bella è stata quella di ammirare, appena entrati nel New England, il foliage, ovvero i mille colori dal giallo al rosso che le assumevano le foglie dei boschi circostanti alla strada: uno spettacolo unico. Siamo arrivati a Boston intorno alle 18,30 stanchi. Alloggio all'Hotel Hyatt Regency, costo camera Euro 374,15. Ho...

First Day

My day started by getting up at 3:50am PST in Salem and driving to the Portland Airport to catch my plane that left at 7:25am. It was a smooth flight and I got into Boston at 3:45pm EST. I got to my hotel around 4:45pm, dropped my stuff off and went walking. Here is where I went:

I started at Boston Common which is the oldest park in the country dating back to 1634. I walked around the park and headed into the Public Gardens for awhile before eating dinner at Cheers. It is the original...

Day in Boston

Today I walked more than I ever have before (that could be an exaggeration, but it was a lot). The big tourist attraction here is the Freedom Trail that walks visitors through the historic sites of Boston. The trail is about 3 miles and starts at Boston Common and ends at Bunker Hill Monument. So I walked the trail from their and back (6 miles) and walked 294 steps to the top of the monument. Thighs were burning.

But the trail had sites such as Paul Revere's House and burial ground, Ki...

Work day- HOPE Outreach

Today was the boring, but feel good day of the trip. We worked from 2-8pm and helped 15 borrowers feel like they can sleep again. It is amazing to me how many customers come to these events anticipating that we will be jerks to them and throw them on the street. I really think the media gives mortgage companies a bad wrap. After speaking to some today, all are trying to help their customers rather than foreclose on their homes.

I spoke to 8 customers today and feel really good about o...

Leaving Boston at 4:50

This is the last day of the trip. My work associate did a great job planning the trip and scheduled an early flight here and a late flight out. So I have really been about to maximize my time here.

Today I took the subway over to Havard University and walked the campus. It is an amazing day here and I wish I had one more day. There is so much to do here and see, so much hisrtory. I have been to the oldest park (Boston Common) and bar (Bell in Hand) in the United States.

Historical Traveler Reviews of Hyatt Regency Boston Financial District

Mediocre at best

from TomAndre
The Boston Hyatt is a very mediocre hotel, more along the lines of 1.5 stars. I have stayed in 4 other Hyatts which have all been exceptionally clean, well maintained and stylish. The Boston property was unloaded on Hyatt by Swissotel and is run down and about as stylish as your average Bombay Company shop - quite unsophisticated. When I say run down, it's not terribly run down, but it is certainly not luxuious: mildew in the tub, missing grout on the bathroom vanity, small cheap TV, and no toiletries except that in a wall dispenser. Housekeping ignored our "privacy please" sign and knocked on the door at 10:00am on a Sunday. At check-in our room wasn't ready at 3:pm we had to kill time (no problem) walking around Boston. The down side to this was that we had to check our luggage at the conceige who then took over an hour to get our bags to the room. They insisted that the bell person do this instead of giving me my small amount of luggage to take up on my own.

If this is their idea of what a classy hotel does they are wrong. Hyatt needs to renovate this place soon. In the renovation, please plan for a luggage storage room that is not in another quandrant of the galaxy.

We'll Go Back Again

from carowal
We benefited from a prepaid rate on the hotel's web site after switching to this hotel from another poorly rated property in the theater district. It is around the corner from Macys and Filenes. We had an easy walk to the theater district for dinner and a show. A great breakfast either off the menu or from the buffet. Our friends said their dinner was so good that they would go to the restaurant if they lived in town. The rooms were comfortable and quiet with lovely views. Two "complaints" were: it was a bit too warm in our room. We'd ask for a fan the next time, and the restaurant was short-staffed at Sunday morning breakfast. However, the staff was courteous and helpful. We will definitely plan to stay at this hotel again.

Can't complain

from A TripAdvisor Member
I cannot complain about this hotel. It seems like they have put a lot of work into making it respectable. The location is good if you like walking around the city. Close to the Boston Commons, the shopping district and a short walk to Quincy Market. Also the train is easy to get to. a two minute walk. I have not gotten a bad hotel in boston through priceline. I have stayed about 10 times and always well worth it.

Love it.

from A TripAdvisor Member
I moved here from the Omni because at point of writing, the former does not offer broadband access. From the Omni, I moved to the Wyndham Tremont, which was terrible.

This hotel is great. I love it hands down. Finally, I got it right. The rooms are big and airy. Furnishing tasteful and elegant. Service from doorman, to concierge beats the previous hotels hands-down. Staff here are extremely professional, yet helpful.

Location is as good as the Omni. Round the block, you get Macy's, Filene's Basement, and Eddie Bauer Outlet. Short walking distance to the T.

There's even the indoor pool, gym, and jacuzzi for your exercise/relax.

Every bit of the Hyatt that I would expect. Highly recommend this one.

Uninspiring but Convenient

from A TripAdvisor Member
I found the hotel surprisingly difficult to find, as the lobby is found only after walking down stairs into a shiny, marble-lined (tacky by European standards) atrium and going up in an elevator.

The location is super: round the corner from Downtown Crossing T stop and a short walk from the Common, Public Gardens, etc. Hardly needed to use the T while in town as most places were easily walkable - by UK standards at least!

I was given a good-sized room, with two very comforable double beds and my only criticism would be the bathroom. It ws a little tired and the tiling and grouting around the bath were unappealing.

Otherwise, a very happy stay and I'd certianly consider returning, should I find a decent rate.

Bed of Nails

from A TripAdvisor Member
The hotel lobby looked great and the restaurant was nice enough. About 15 minutes after we checked in, we received a call to the room asking if we were all set. Nice touch.

It was only after dinner and drinks that we returned to the room to sleep and discovered that our king sized bed was sunken in the middle and the springs were poking us in the back. Check the bed BEFORE you sleep in it.

The bathroom was a little old looking and had stains that looked like rust on the tile and grout, as well as the shower curtain. Could be cleaner.

Wonderful Location

from A TripAdvisor Member
While it is not the Ritz (which is around the corner) it is a very nice 4 star hotel which is convenient to both business and pleasure. Our room with two doubles was average in size and quite comfortable. The health club and pool were great. The lobby and open areas of the hotel were pristine and quiet. However, what really made our stay was the location. It is a block from Boston Common and the T making all of Boston very accessible. Try Priceline for rates, we stayed for 70 a night.

Ugly outside, nice enough on the inside

from Todd_Whitehurst
As I approached, I thought that the hotel was rather ugly. However, the inside was nice. The first room they gave me turned out to be a room in which someone was still staying. The next room was actually vacant. It was a nice room, albeit a bit small. I wanted a room with 2 beds, and I got a room with 2 twin beds.

Pretty good Hyatt

from rsmith888888
We switched to this hotel, after cancelling our reservation at the Cambridge Hyatt. Good quiet room, great view, good service.Location is fine - overall would recommend it if you can get a good rate (weekends) but not a real luxury stay.

Enjoyed this hotel!

from A TripAdvisor Member
Great location--walking distance from Downtown Crossing (orange and red lines) and Boylston (green line), two blocks from Boston Common, and one block from Filene's. Our room was very large, with a sitting area and large bathroom. Comfortable bed. I went to the health club, which has a great pool--nice size and temperature. They have a nice bar, with large sitting area on the main floor. In general, I thought the hotel was nicely decorated and clean. I would stay there again.
