What room level did you book?

Remember, the FS has by far the worst room-standarsds level b/t FS and RC in this market (havent stayed at MO yet).

Maybe Im cranky about FS because as I write this Im sitting at the desk of my large, otherwise *gorgeous* renovated corner suite at the FS water tower in Chicago and it has...
1 bathroom
1 sink
a tiny, tiny combo tub/shower tucked in a tiny, tiny water closet


My wife loves baths and was truthful when she commented that she'd be much better off taking a bath at home.

The FS in BOS is a similar cut below the rest. I really cant understand how suite standards like this are acceptable to those on this forum. Unfortunately, the regular rooms arent too dissimilar either.

Excluding the MO for the afforementioned reason, the romantic weekend choice in BOS would be a Club Level Suite at the RC. Great, open bathrooms with deep, seperate tubs. Plenty of space and nice furnishings. Like the FS, note the view your about to get at checkin. They can switch it up on you.

And then locking yourself into your hotel knowing that getting champagne over and over again without having to do much more than think about it can be a pretty nice way to spend a weekend.
