Our room had a king bed, sofa, desk and lots of room to move around. My only complaint about the room is this large oval lighted mirror. The oval is completely lit and it is like a flashlight shining in your face the entire time you are looking in the mirror. Free USA today and Wall Street Journal as well as a free bag of ice, as the ice machine was not working. Our breakfast was comped but the comp tickets weren't given to us upon check in. I asked at the front desk and they were given to me and we ate without issue. The breakfast costs $28.00 (for those paying) and consisted of hot eggs, potatoes and sausage. They had toast, fresh fruit (not the canned stuff) and assorted yogurts, pastries, etc. We had a server that brought juice and coffee. The room service is pricey as was the lounge where a beer is $13 or so. Overall, a great stay and within walking distance to nearly everything including Fenway Park.
I've stayed here a few times over the past couple years. As a Diamond, I have never been offered an upgrade here.
You got free full breakfast as a Gold? That's surprising. In each of my stays, their policy for Diamond was free breakfast at EL, or $10 to upgrade to full breakfast buffet at the restaurant. I just stayed there less a couple months ago.

I agree that it's a nice hotel. Nice that they have a pool, even if it's really small. You have to stay on 15th floor or higher to be able to see Charles River from rooms on that side of the hotel.
