Boston hotels near Symphony Hall

Cons: It's an older hotel, it's probably time to update some of the amenities, particularly the bathrooms (which were nice, but def older).

Cons: Service and physical property

Cons: We had no view out of our room. Looked out on an alley way and trash dumpster.

Cons: Better customer service

Cons: The elevators were a bit small and we had to pass one up at times when there were more than a couple of people waiting or when they were full. The lobby was a bit small and was a bit of a bottleneck during and after check-in. The Precinct bar had a good energy and good drink selection but the food and desserts were just okay (we did not get a chance to try the restaurant). We wish there was a pool or hot tub, which would have been perfect for post-race recovery.

Cons: We booked three rooms at this hotel because there were 6 of us and we all booked the same type of room but they tried giving one couple in our party a smaller room, but they did fix it so that was good. Also, the refrigerator in our room was broken, but they also came and fixed that right away.

Cons: Valet parking very slow

Cons: There was Giant bottle of FIJI water sitting by the coffee machine labeled that it would cost $7.00 for each if consumed. Kind of annoying I wanted them the entire time but couldn't get over the price.... I can't pay $7 for water.

Cons: if they can provide water on every floor

Cons: I recommend avoiding a room across the hall or adjacent to the communal bathrooms. They can be a bit noisy.

Cons: Don't leave your car in valet for over the 24 hour period or you will be charged $27 for 1 1/2 hours over... Still don't understand the Math there!

Cons: Gym - small

Cons: Extremely dirty. Unclean pillows and mattress. Not washed bathrooms.

Cons: Bathroom was pretty small.

Cons: The heating unit in the room was noisy. The breakfast was skimpy; commercial granola bars, oranges, bananas, coffee from machine (all impersonal).

Cons: Our room was not very well kept. It was dusty, the bed hadn't been changed I believe, the sheets and pillow case was dirty and hairy, and the bathroom smelled like ciggaretes and was kind of dirty. the room was better than a motel so it wasn't the worst, just a little too pricey for the kind of quality you end up getting.

Cons: The elevators were slow and unreliable and there are apparently not stairs for use. There isn't a ton to do in the immediate area but you are only a couple minutes walk from a lot of the stuff you'd like to see.

Cons: The air exchange in my 11th floor room was intermittently noisy. I could not sleep. The staff put me in a different (and slightly larger) room the next day, but were not particularly apologetic. They seemed indifferent.

Cons: The bed was too firm. Had a hard wire around the edge of the mattress. No Iron, No Microwave, No Fridge. The shower was tiny.. really small. Not comfortable at all.

Cons: I didn't like that my room didn't have an ironing board & safe. In my opinion those two should be a no brainier & standard.

Cons: Walls are thin.

Cons: Room was dry. Maybe add a humidifier

Cons: - Not the newest facility - could stand an upgrade for the carpeting, floors and bathroom - Communal iron and other in-room amenities takes some getting used to - Not recommended for families traveling with children as there's nothing for them to do on-site.

Cons: Sadly, the staff isn't very friendly. They always act like they are doing you a favor if asked a question or reporting the elevator malfunctioning!!!!

Cons: Room is kind of small, a bit pricey for the size of the room

Cons: 8am Altman going off

Cons: The elevators took an abnormally long time to arrive and go down. It sounds like they're working on that, and then they will be perfect!

Cons: When I first arrived to check in the person checking me in said I had two reservations, for two rooms, one paid for one not. I was pretty freaked when I heard this because they asked me to pay again at the desk. I contacted Kayak and according to the nice lady from the company she took care of everything and she did it was not on my bill. My complaint is that it shouldnt have been an issue to begin with, how stupid was the guy at the front desk? Kayak has been good to me with reservations why was that an issue? I actually dont understand how that would have even happened to begin with. My other complaint is even though I KNOW there were several conventions in town that weekend, I was really upset that my friends at the Sheraton got to have an extended check out till 2pm when I KNOW almost EVERY Marriott I have stayed at before has extended check out, the book says they offered it and the lady on the phone said they did NOT offer it specifically because of the convention. I don't see it as far if a hotel attached to the same convention center with the same amount of people could have it and I could not. Especially since the Marriott was a far nicer establishment the hotel room I stayed in and hotel in general was far better kept and polished then the Sheraton. So that was my only true disappointment. Especially since I did not have to check out, I was all set and would just leave. I understand as my mother used to work for Marriott that the maids have to come in and clean asap before new people check in around 4. But still, that just...was odd. In a hotel that large usually they have maids for a lot longer so, I guess I am just missing something.

Cons: Noisy neighbors. Called front desk and they didn't seem to do anything.

Cons: Most hotels I stay in offer water & have it randomly placed around the hotel. There was none to be found here; including the gym. When we attempted to use the vending machine to buy some, only took $1.@@ or coins. We only had larger bills.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Could have had better mattresses on bed.

Cons: Bit of a waiting line to check in

Cons: Elevators are a disaster, unless you love waiting. No free wifi in the rooms (what year is this????). No fridge in rooms (what year is this???)

Cons: There was an extremely faint electronic beeping noise that me and my husband heard every night falling asleep; nothing that prohibited us from falling asleep, but I will say that I noticed it each night as I was falling asleep. A little pricey, but warranted given the location; we also didn't pay for parking as we had a family member with a free garage spot at work across town.

Cons: Elevators are a little slow and packed

Cons: The elevators! All weekend, I waited longer for elevators that I could get on than I did waiting for trains in the "T". On Sunday, after waiting nearly 25 minutes for an elevator that wasn't already jam-packed, I had to carry my luggage down six flights of stairs to the meeting room level to use the escalators (which were out of service). All in, an experience I would expect at a hotel charging half what Marriott did for this stay.

Cons: Room furnishings

Cons: Providing information about hotel amenities and outside events from hotel

Cons: Have to get private parking, costed same as my stay at the hotel. waited for 1 hour and made 5 calls to get brushes.

Cons: Bathroom was not cleaned properly may be the product they used and did not finish wiping down because toilet cover and seat was sticky.

Cons: Water bottle in room cost $7.50. Elevators very slow on occasion. Very old TV system with limited HD channel selection.

Cons: Honestly, nothing. It was perfect!

Cons: The rooms and bathroom are very small, but the comfort and decor make up for the small spaces.

Cons: No wi-fi, walls were very thin and cleaning staff was loud in the hallways- they woke us up both days. Besides the women behind the counter, no other staff smiled... literally. The bellhop, valet, restaurant staff, etc. They all looked miserable. Very strange.

Cons: Room was rather small, no free wifi.

Cons: I found sleep very difficult due to the noise level throughout the first night of my stay, which was a Tuesday. Many drunk people coming to rooms late very loud in the hallway and then one couple in the room next to mine arguing until approximately 4am.

Cons: 1. They couldn't find my reservation when I checked in. I then said that I booked on Kayak.com. They kept looking so I had to find the reservation online and, turns out, the reservation was made through Booking.com. Only then could they find my reservation. Desk clerk seemed like he was on Prozac. Also, I booked a Standard room and I'm pretty sure I got a Petite room because it was about the size of my walk-in closet at home.

Cons: No free breakfast

Cons: Small bathroom with little room to turn around or store personal items.

Cons: The room was pretty small and the elevators scared my girlfriend (2 of the 4 made her paranoid because they were loud and a little shaky). Unless you're a frequent guest or part of some rewards program you have to pay for wi-fi which is pretty lame. No vending machines which seems to be because they want you to take from the mini bar where a snickers bar was around 10 dollars. Luckily there are 2 7-11's that's take 30 seconds to walk to right next to the hotel.

Cons: Horrible customer service by hotel manager and kayak. Hotel didn't offer to call around or find other accommodations for us.

Cons: Would have been nice to have a view but at the price, it was fine. A bit of street noise (4th floor) but we are in the city, should expect some of that.

Cons: Room was dirty, event in ball room was so loud we couldnt sleep until after midnight.
