Seaport Hotel Boston
Breakfast was nice but very expensive for what it was. Luckily, we had $ towards if from Expedia. We had a top room for a good price but there is no way those rooms are $300 plus per night. I've stayed in something pretty similar for $100..I suppose you're paying for the location and views.
