Today was 60 degrees in Boston. Not sure when you're planning your trip to Boston.
I think you went right if you're looking for romance.
As for the Ritz, while it is in the former combat zone, I think you're being hard on the location. It's a block form the Common and, while the view from the front door is not what I'd call "good," you won't have much interaction with the locals.
