The Park Plaza is a fabulous hotel and it's very well located. Like any hotel on the planet (even the Ritz), the decor in some rooms is a bit "faded" (think GUEST "wear and tear"), but housekeeping is meticulous. If you're really disappointed, a phone call to the front desk (unless they're fully booked and everyone else has already checked in) will render you a nicer room (no matter the rate or how you booked). $79 for a room here (or at ANY nice-to-stay-in hotel in Boston) is positively a steal, and then some. Bookings via Priceline, Hotwire, HotelDiscount, etc., are all-dependent on the anticipated fill rate for your dates. I'm guessing you got VERY lucky. In the alternative, you could have paid $200, $300 or more per night and still have received a room with "less than brand new decor". I would challenge "At" to come up with something better or even comparable at such a ridiculously low rate. On our most recent visit, booked through HotelDiscount CHEAP, our room had no view. We called downstairs and were immediately moved to a room with a view of the Park - a HUGE room with TWO bathrooms. The all matching drapes, bedspreads, upholstery, were, indeed, a bit sun-faded, and the carpets had stains (no doubt from recently departed slobs), but, again, housekeeping was positively meticulous. Hospital clean everywhere. For a room at the Park Plaza at $79/night, I really can't imagine your "concern".
