I am a fan of the Hyatt Regency brand but this property is not among my favorites. Pros include price, great staff, and a very comfortable bed. Cons include location (the area is pretty desolate at night and it was difficult to find both taxis and good, nearby restaurants on the weekend - it is in the financial district so everything shuts down on weekends), rooms that showed wear and tear (particularly in the bathroom), and noise.

Truly, this hotel was one of the noisiest I have ever been in - slamming doors and the conversation of people in the hallways was easily heard in both rooms we were in - we ultimately had to change rooms from the 17th floor to the 20th floor due to noise but the change in volume was somewhat minimal. Be sure to ask for a higher floor if noise is an issue for you - frankly, I am not overly sensitive to hotel noise so the need to change rooms was an unfortunate development.

In the event I am again in Boston, I would stay again at the Marriot Copely Place (see prior review for this property). It was much more conveniently located with great shopping nearby and despite the number of guests it attracts, was far quieter.

This past summer we had occasion to visit Boston just to get awat for a few days and do some sightseeing. This hotel is in a great location - within easy walking distance of the Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall, Boston Common, and some large department stores.

Our room, although pleasant, was fairly average.

The hotel staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly; the concierge was exceptional, and the doorman made us feel "at home" by welcoming us back from our daily walking trips.

The breakfast buffet was great, and the restaurant manager not only stopped by to see how we were doing, but took the time to give us written subway directions.

The only negative would be the parking situation: it was not very convenient and quite expensive - but I guess that's par-for-the course in the heart of an expensive Northeastern city.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this Hyatt.

We took a risk and pricelined in Boston, with great results. This hotel was in a good location and had SUPER comfy beds. If you're like me and want a cheap but nice place, and spend most of your time outside the hotel or in the bed, this is a great hotel to be staying in.

I took the MBTA “T” subway from Logan airport, Blue Line to the Orange Line and got off at the stop Downtown Crossing….just $2. Taxi can run you as much as $25 from previous trips….the “T” is better during bad weather and it was snowing heavily when I arrived in Boston. I checked into the Hyatt at around 9:00 am on Feb 27th not expecting a room to be ready this early in the morning and was surprised to find one was available. The front desk staff was very pleasant and offered me a corner room on the 14th floor. The room was updated, very clean and nicely decorated. The corner room had a sitting area with couches, large television and work desk. The separate bedroom had its own television, large King bed with lots of pillows and big down comforter. The bathroom was very clean with all the usual amenities. They have a Stay Fit workout center that is very nice and a bit of a hike to get to so consider this a warm-up workout. Plenty of equipment, some free weights, treadmills and ellipticals…etc. They have a small lap pool and locker room.

I had breakfast three mornings at the restaurant in the lobby. I ordered off of the menu instead of the free buffet that came with my room and the food was excellent and so was the service. (Egg white omelet with mozzarella is the Best!!) Also had dinner one night at the Avenue One restaurant in the hotel…..amazing food and lots of attention from the servers, you won’t be disappointed.

The Hotel is between Newbury and Faneuil Hall and a quick walk to the commons. There is a Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts just up the street at the corners of Tremont and Boylston streets for those needing their fix.
