Back Bay famous hotel
Room was very small (bathroom even smaller). Housekeeping did not turn off the bedside alarm from previous guest so I was awakened at 5:30 am. Restaurants in the neighborhood were surprisingly dull. Subway connection to convention center and airport required two train changes. All in all, not as nice as I expected. I usually stay in Cambridge but price at the Park Plaza was significantly lower so I gave it a try.

Decent place to stay
Excellent location, however, can be pricy in terms of what you're getting in your room. Wifi is not complimentary and many of the rooms receive poor cell reception.

Great location and value
I was in Boston for a few nights recently. The Park Plaza is very centrally located, very close to the Boston Commons and Arlington subway station, and just 10 minutes' walk from Chinatown, South Station and Copley Place. As a solo traveler, I stayed in a single queen-bed room. It was very comfortable and well-furnished, and a decent size considering the circumstances. HD channels on the TV, quality toiletries, numerous pillows, and free wi-fi in the lobby. Had two occasions to talk to the concierge, and both times the man/lady was friendly and helpful. For the location, it was the most economical luxury hotel in the area, and I wasn't disappointed. Will definitely stay again.

Quaint, but very tight quarters
This is a lovely historic hotel. The discounted rate gives you a very small room, but fine for one person. The first night, I reserved a double bed. but the Murphy bed was broken, so I got a lumpy single cot. They comped my internet for both nights and one meal. the second night, I got my double bed in a small room. You could not close the bathroom door if you were standing in front of the sink! This hotel is totally worth seeing, but I recommend reserving a larger room.

The Park Plaza at $99/night is excellent for such a location. It is also surrounded by great restaurants and is 1/2 block from the T.
