"For an expensive hotel, I was hoping for a little more. However, it seems all Boston hotels are expensive. For £400 per night, one would expect top notch. Very good but not exceptional, and why does the music have to be so loud in the lobby, even at 6.30 in the morning. I feel for the staff as much as the clientele."

Bedford Plaza Hotel - Boston

8/10 Good
"The staff was great. The hotel definitely needs to be remodeled. Rugs are stained and worn. Everything is just old and worn. Bed was good though, pillows not so much. We didn't have towels in our room so we had to hunt for the maid the next morning to get some. The free breakfast consists of waffles, toast, cereal and yogurt. I had booked a last minute trip so my options at the time were not plentiful. If you just need a place to lay your head at the end of the day like we did, you should be fine."

What is a historic hotel like in Boston?

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.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.
