"Convenient to Copley Square. The hotel was old and tired, and needed basic maintenance and fresh paint. The bathroom caulking had mold. The lobby had old-world charm, but was dimly lit. The carpet was quite worn in many places. The elevators smelled bad. Basic continental breakfast provided.2015-06-12"

"My hotel room was in the basement level, so it was a bit dark and disorienting to see people's calves and shoes walking past. However, the decor was lovely, and I loved having the galley kitchen and separate living area. Had to notify the front desk if I wanted housekeeping. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch. The key code for the door was changed every day.2016-06-30"

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
