Got to the room and found it to be a standard, smallish king room. Checked online and saw mega corner rooms available - called down an asked, and after some checking around, was moved. Room was a large corner room with 2 queen, lots of space.

On the second stay, I was pre-upgraded (without any effort on my part) to a "Studio Suite". Not really a suite, but a large corner room with a chair and a sectional lounge-sofa thing by the windows, a large bath with separate tub and shower, and a nice desk arrangement behind the bed.

I'll definitely stay again when I'm in Boston.
Hi DFWFlier,

It’s nice to hear that someone had a similar experience as mine at Boston suites. It happens when we have heightened images in our minds and are served in a below-expectation way. However, all’s well that ends well. A lot of these hotels are converting floors into luxury Boston condos. Maybe they wouldn’t have to convert to condos if they were making their temporary residents happy.
