"The 498-room Hyatt Regency is in need of an overhaul -- it's outdated, disorganized, and not well maintained." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Hyatt offers spacious rooms with modern decor and is located close to the up-and-coming Ladder District, with several fine restaurants and night-time entertainment venues nearby."
Star Service "Set in a dull part of town, two minutes' walk from the Downtown Crossing T station and filling a tall, sharply angled tower, this hotel benefits from Hyatt's adept management skills." Full review
Gayot "Style and subtlety are hallmarks here. A tasteful Waterford chandelier hangs in the stately lobby, and artwork and antiques are displayed discreetly throughout the interiors."

Star Service "In East Boston, this property is the second-best waterfront hotel in the Boston area after the Boston Harbor." Full review
