The Hyatt Regency is a classic upscale hotel right in the middel of everything in downtown Boston. By far the best feature of the hotel is the location. Only a few blocks from the highway (93) yet in the middle of everything. Around the block from Boston Commons, the Theatre District, and the Freedom Trail. Also if you are traveling by train only a 10 minute walk from North Station and the Garden. Bars, tourist destinations and the Boston Garden within walking distance so I would say an ideal location.
Upon entering the street level of the hotel you must take the elevator to the 3rd floor to arrive at the lobby. I was greeted by a very friendly staff and quickly ready for my room. I stayed in a regular King room. The room was not oversized but there was defintely enough room for a brief stay. They advertise that they have 27in flat screen tvs in every room but the TV in our room vertainly resembled an old school box television, but it was 27in. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bedding was warm and the mattress was soft yet firm. The bathroom was very nice. The shower had a ledge to sit on and plenty of room. The hotel provides Neutrogena bath products that were much appreciated.
The other positives of the hotel was the view and the hotel bars and restaurant. The view from the room was excellent. We were on the 15th floor yet could look out onto a good portion of Boston. There are two bar/restaurant areas in the Hotel are the lobby bar and Avenue One, a sophisticated eat in restaurant. Both provide ample seating and comfort. Both are also perfect for a nice starter before a night on the town.
The only major drawback i saw in the hotel was the noise I heard in my room in the morning. I believe it was from the room next door, I could distinctly hear an ongoing conversation while I was in bed. This was telling me that the walls were just not thick enough as I should expect in a hotel of this class.
Overall, I would say I enjoyed my experience at the Hyatt Regency. The location alone made the stay worth it. The only hotels that are less expensive in the Boston area are far off the beaten path. If possible splurge for a nice stay in the heart of the city. Book on the hotels website for the best deal. Enjoy!
