Pros: The room and furnishings were clean and luxurious. The bed was wonderful. I love the location next to the mall. I had to do some shopping, and it was great to walk directly from the mall to the hotel without going on the street.
Cons: I would have appreciated a hair dryer, a coffee maker and ice somewhere on the floor. This is not uncommon in luxury hotels, and it's annoying. I don't want to call room service for ice. Also, the room lacked a folder detailing the hotels offerings.

Cons: The hairs in and around the tub were so unpleasant, I spent about 15 minutes cleaning the tub before I could use it. Shampoo from dispenser does not lather. How many people touch those nasty things??? It also fell off the wall when i was trying to dispense shampoo. We were interrupted twice due to smoke complaints on our floor. We smelled it too. The kids next door screamed and ran around until about 11. But I booked this room JUST to get some peace and quiet while working on an important project for work. That didnt happen. If i knew the night would go like this I wouldnt have spent 200 dollars. Also, the beds are extremely uncomfortable and there is no extra blanket to be found anywhere in the room.

Pros: The Royal Sonesta Boston was a great hotel. I especially liked the balcony in my river facing room. It looked like the Cambridge-Facing side did not get balconies. Their in-house dining experience, while more expensive than some other hotels in-house dining options, offered a great ambiance. Loved that I was able to get a self-park rate included in my hotel rate.
Cons: The express breakfast option was more limited than I had hoped but still more than satisfactory. The bathroom was also a little weirdly laid out. The door kept banging into the shower curtain rod, which made it somewhat uncomfortable to use the toilet

Cons: Staff very insensitive - Trip was to testify in court because of my son's severe schizophrenia so that I could make medical decisions on his behalf - court date changed at last minute and they would not allow me to get a credit to move the reservation date because I booked with a travel service and not them directly. I did NOT want a refund - I just wanted some consideration to have them keep my $892 for 2 nights and move my reservation to the rescheduled court date - the manager of the hotel simply said "life happens" - they have no idea of a parent's grief over a very sick child. VERY DISAPPOINTING

Pros: The staff was friendly and helpful. We arrived late in the evening and were looking for a recommendation on a nearby place to eat that would be open and decent. The person working the desk, whose name I can't recall, called a couple of places for us to check on whether their kitchens were still open while we took care of getting situated. That was a nice touch that I wouldn't necessarily expect at this level of hotel. It was walkable to Cambridge Ave, which was good for evening dining options.
Cons: I didn't like or expect the $30/day parking fee for a small lot with many obstructed or very tight spaces. The elevators were very slow, and one of the two didn't report which floor it was on, which was both comical and annoying. Breakfast was decent, but they seemed to constantly be out of regular coffee. The controls on the A/C unit in the room were non-functional. The unit worked, but we couldn't change the settings. The second bed in the room was a sofa bed, so our kid had to endure "the bar."

Pros: The rooms were clean and fairly comfortable- breakfast was pretty decent
Cons: Very basic accommodations - staff was sometimes nice sometimes seemed to be indifferent- when we left we asked if she could call a cab and she did however the cab she called was unmarked he didn't help with bags and there was no meter and he charged us far more than it cost on the cab ride we got in our own. I only mention this because it seemed like this was someone she called all the time and I wouldn't recommend using them anymore. Seemed odd
