Boston: Hotel Choices

I am trying to choose between the following hotels in downtown Boston (Financial District/Faneuil Hall area):

Hyatt
Harborside Inn
Millennium Bostonian
Omni Parker House
Wyndham Boston (on Broad Street)

Any thoughts on which is the best? They are all similarly priced at about $160 per night when I plan to visit.

You might want to check out priceline for some of those, I usually get the Hyatt Financial District for $40.00, and I know the Harborside routinely goes for $50.00 or so. Check out www.biddingfortravel.com

Here's another recommendation for Priceline. The savings more than offsets any concern over the hotel or its location.

We stayed at the Millenium and loved it. It is more "boutique" and has less of a hotel feel.

We had a lovely corner room with a balcony overlooking Faneuil Hall. When we arrived in our room, the Bose radio had classical music playing and there were chocolate covered strawberries on a silver plate waiting for us!

The room was furnished in French Country antique style, and there was a huge jacuzzi tub in the bathroom.

The staff was very nice and helpful, and greeted us at check-in not at a typical hotel check-in counter, but at a French writing desk, and served us warm chocolate chip cookies while they took our information.

I think it's the small touches like that that make a place special. This is the only place we'd ever stay now in Boston, and we've stayed at most of the "big" hotels.
