Hilton Boston Park Plaza
Yes the room was very clean. And very comfortable for a small room. The shower's tight. I think that is the only Town side to the wicked small room. I stay here a lot. The staff is always top notch. Love the little sitting room with the fire it's. Very uncomfortable. Always enjoy staying here.
