Asked for an early check in. Was unable to tell if this went through or not. Arrived and was told it was denied- that’s fine- was a last minute thing anyway. However, returned at 3 for normal check in time and was told the room still wasn’t ready. So, after some confusion, They gave us a different room- the AC was not working at all so they had a standalone unit working really hard to keep the room below 80 degrees. Their backup AC couldn’t keep up with above average temps in Boston. I get it- older hotels weren’t designed for today’s temps. That said, after complaining about it (had to go down to the lobby because their in-room phones absolutely do NOT work.) they moved us to another room that also couldn’t keep up. 82 degrees. We were told by other staff that there were other rooms that were also not keeping up with the temps. I felt like maybe they could’ve found us a room that wasn’t really hot, but we were only staying one night, (which they asked several times) so we weren’t really that important- kinda got the feeling from staff that if we were in a penthouse, or staying a week, it would’ve been resolved. The bathroom was big and the hotel was well located. Generally the staff was nice. Far from the worst place I’ve stayed, but for what it cost per night I definitely expected more. Actually would have just settled for honesty- if crazy hot weather means your hotel can’t keep the rooms cool, maybe just admit it?
