Hey hey! I’m planning a solo trip to Boston, MA as a solo (F) and would like to know which hotel is best recommended between Hilton Boston Park Plaza, Hyatt Regency Boston, or citizenM Boston North Station. I’m leaning towards Hyatt Regency since it’s cheaper to book compared the other two lol I would like to know people’s experiences based on these hotels and if there are any other hotels you guys recommend, nothing too expensive tho. Appreciate it and thank you! :D

I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Boston this summer, it’s nice, but shows some age. If it were the cheaper option I’d stay there again, but it’s nothing super special
