Boston Park Plaza Hotel & Towers

Pros: First-Class Services, Hershey's Kisses!
Cons: Outdated, Unacceptable Fire Alarm System, Prostitutes!

The Boston Park Plaza opened in 1927 as the first hotel to have both running water and a radio in every room. When I stayed at the hotel 72 years later, I felt as if they had only progressed to maybe 1935 standards. A friend and I spent four nights ...

Pros: Nice lobby, great staff, good meeting facilities
Cons: Inadequate climate system, TINY bathrooms, few amenities

I have just returned home from my 5 day stay at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. I attended a conference that took place at the hotel and included seminars and meetings involving about 600 guests. I love Boston and I was really looking forward to the Park ...

Pros: Wonderful place.

My family and I stayed at the Park Plaza over Thanksgiving 2003. I had been to many functions there throughout the years, and had always been impressed with their conference/function facilities. Upon check-in, however, I quickly found that the beauty ...

Pros: location, prices are fairly decent by Boston standards
Cons: rooms are nothing special

I won a free night a the Boston Park Plaza hotel not too long ago. Even though I live in Boston, I figured it would be fun to stay there and check it. Based on the name I guess I anticipated it to be a little more luxurious than it turned out to be....

Pros: Beautifully restored old hotel. Great location & pleasant staff.
Cons: Thin walls?

Pros: Good Looking Lobby. Large Room. Good Location
Cons: Too pricy for its level.

Certainly paying over $100 per night is not worth it; however if you do get a good deal (I got a $40/night using priceline) then its great. The lobby is beautiful: it has very large ceilings, beautiful hanging chandeliers and the overall design is a la...

Pros: Location, Location, Location.
Cons: You're not paying for what you get. You're paying for the name.

This hotel is the worst I have ever stayed at. When my husband made reservations online, it looked l ...
