Summary: Hotels.com markets 3 -4 tiers to choose a room. The last one is river view. I chose that one expecting a nice view of the Charles. Still was okay view but from the front of building not the back where the charles is. When i asked they responded “I'm sorry for your disappointment. You booked a partial river view room. If you would like to upgrade to a full river view room. See the front desk in the morning. If we have one available, it would be just a small upgrade fee.” Only got one night Also hotels markets that with silver you get discounts but i did not get discussion of that and thry didnt tell me about amenities figuring out on my own. The room did not look like the photos so i was maybe in an outdated room. Very dark closet. I suggest putting another light by the tv. Otherwise the lobby, saltwater pool, amenities and rest of staff were wonderful.
