The Revolution Hotel
Room was just big enough and clean. A bit noisy but hey it’s downtown Boston what can you expect. No VIP upgrades or drink vouchers were given. Bathroom sharing was fine but some people have the bathrooms pretty messy with their towels and stuff. Convenient location nice staff.
