I was extremely disappointed with the miscommunication over the rooms and booking double beds. I booked two rooms via a 3rd party vendor. I requested double beds in both with a rollaway in one since we had 5 people. I even called the hotel directly to verify everything was all set with the double beds and rollaway one month and one week prior. Both times it was indicated it was all set by the hotel staff. Upon arrival we received two rooms each with a King size bed and no rollaway. I called the front desk and they said because the hotel was booked solid they give preferential treatment to customers who book directly through them not 3rd party vendors as I did. I inquired why I was told everything was all set and they said I should not have been told that as it is not their policy. I arranged for us to get rollaway beds and had to be somewhat firm in the fact I should not be charged for them before they finally agreed. It actually took several hours and calls to the front desk throughout the first day until they finally brought beds to our rooms as we agreed upon. Each time they indicated they would be right up. I have booked rooms at many other hotels via 3rd party vendors before and never experienced this type of problem. The Hotel and area itself was nice, but beware if you are trying to get a room with double beds as you might not get what you are expecting, even if you call to confirm.

“Loud, loud, loud!”

Pier 5 Hotel

10 Sep 2008

Their property is goregous, but they need some serious sound insulation. We heard when the restaurants downstairs closed and when the party upstairs let out. The revelers all flowed into the central atrium to continue their conversations and good times really late at night. You expect big city noises when staying in the heart of the city, but the dumpster being emptied at 3:30 a.m. did nothing to help the night's sleep. Nor did the "amorous" relations of the couple next door to us around 4:00 a.m. Maybe the dumpster woke them up? Anyhow, I can't think of a worse night's sleep - even as I write this review nearly three years later!

“Awful”

This place is not a Five Star Hotel. When we arrived we had to wait fifteen minutes before anyone checked us in, and it wasnt because alot of people were checking in, the guy was on the phone with a personal phone call. After we finally checked in, the gentleman forgot to explain that we needed our key cards to get to the third floor, there is a sign in the elevator but its small and easily missed, well we ended up having to ask and the gentleman made us feel very stupid like we should have seen that. Our rooms were ok, but not five star material, the free breakfast wasnt very good either, the only thing i would suggest this place for was location, its really close to power plant live, but i wouldnt pay for this place again.

“Family extremely diappointed.”

Massachusetts

Web site noted room service. None at all.

Upon arrival, advised check in within 1/2 hour, due to cleaning.
4 hours later (luggage could not be checked in-so we had to remain in lobby and and hold) advised room finally cleaned and ready. We noted many later arrivals who were checked in.

For a 4 hour cleaning this room, it had a dirty tub (looked like animal hairs) dirty sink and the smell in main room was undescribable.

Air conditioning did not work. Account Access was not available (site kept showing available later).

Extremely disappointed/put a damper on whole trip.

“Don't stay here”

Pier 5 Hotel

25 Jul 2008

I chose this hotel because it was next to the hotel my conference was at. The only good thing I can say is that the staff was nice and the bedding was clean. On the bad side, the walls are thin, music is playing loudly outside on a veranda (past 11pm), overall furniture & carpeting is old/stained and there are several areas under construction/remodel. They also have the loudest airconditioning unit I have ever experienced. This hotel is nowhere near classy enough to call itself a boutique hotel. No "harbor magic" felt here.
