Had a great stay. The only quirk was that the lobby arrangement seemed a tad unusual. Doors not where expected and such.

Pros (+) The Royal Sonesta Boston was a great hotel. I especially liked the balcony in my river facing room. It looked like the Cambridge-Facing side did not get balconies. Their in-house dining experience, while more expensive than some other hotels in-house dining options, offered a great ambiance. Loved that I was able to get a self-park rate included in my hotel rate.
Cons (-) The express breakfast option was more limited than I had hoped but still more than satisfactory. The bathroom was also a little weirdly laid out. The door kept banging into the shower curtain rod, which made it somewhat uncomfortable to use the toilet
