"Needed more toilet paper called front desk. It never came. Had to go out and get it from the cleaning staff myself. Then on our last night they had a guy power washing the sidewalk right outside our room window at 9:30pm."

"Great location. When you are sleeping the room is dark. No unnecessary little lights or clocks. Bed super comfortable. They do need to work on sound proofing between rooms. Clearly hear people conversing in the next room. Two great restaurants on either side of the hotel. Easy walking distance to several points of interest."

What is a historic hotel like in Boston?
A historic hotel gives guests an opportunity to stay in a place recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world come in all forms like stately homes, palaces or even lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Boston typically retain authentic characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value that the place has and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Boston have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay can expect the amenities you'd find in a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Boston doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's rundown.
