positive:
Rooftop views prove impressive.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi is excruciatingly slow.
Many guests staying at the
Boston Christopher complain of a painfully slow Wi-Fi connection that often
drops out. This unreliable connection leads some guests to seek out free Wi-Fi
in nearby coffee shops and bookstores. Travellers visiting the city on business
may wish to keep this in mind.
negative:
No in-room temperature control.
The apartment block
features a centralised heating system, a detail that proves problematic for
some guests. According to reports, with no individual in-room heating/cooling,
it can be difficult to keep apartments at the right temperature.
negative:
Lack of facilities bothers some.
A number of omissions from
the apartment block have been brought up as problematic by guests. The building
does not feature a lift, leaving some guests to contend with a lot of stairs.
There's also no front desk, with guests accessing the building and rooms by
prearranged code, which you need to keep on you at all time. Finally, a lack of
parking leaves drivers with a fairly hefty parking bill from a nearby lot.
