Pics and short review of Hilton Boston Logan Airport (BOS).

A good hotel and decent stay as others have already posted.

Having stayed before I knew you could walk to the hotel from the terminal through covered walkways. It is about a 5 minute walk and the only part that is a bit of a pain is the hotel conference room areas which are well carpeted and therefore make pulling luggage a bit harder but nothing to stop one from doing this. There is also a free hotel shuttle bus for those with lots of baggage but I can't be bothered.

Check in area is quite big and nicely done. There is a bar area called Connolly's Publik House which was open until at least 1 AM and served small sandwiches and salads until closing.

There is also a coffee area (serving starbucks for those that care) in the lobby but this was closed in the evening when I arrived.

A restaurant is also accessed from the lobby called Berkshires which has a buffet on during weekends. It is usually busy and I always find the service quite poor but it serves the purpose.

There is an ATM as well as some public computers for email and boarding passes, etc. and some telephones in one of the hallways off from the main lobby area. I also saw the gym area which looked quite good but didn't use it.

Check in was quick and friendly and I was handed a letter that allows diamonds to eat the full buffet instead of the usual continental in the main restaurant (valid this July only) as the exec lounge is closed on the weekend for breakfast.

I had booked a standard king bed and was upgraded to an exec room floor which is on a higher floor (9 and 10 are exec floors) but otherwise no changes I can see.

The rooms are nice here and well maintained.

I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking and hope this is of use to others considering booking here. I would come again as it is convenient if you are flying in or out the next day.
