Stayed here for a couple of nights 8/9/11-8/11/11. We had been vacationing in Maine for a week. Dropped my wife and 11 y.o. grandson off at the hotel and took the rental car back at Gov. Ctr. Rode the 'T' back to hotel, called wife to see if she got checked in ok. She gave me a room number, and she said that they had a surprise. Evidently, the registration clerk took a liking to my grandson (he is a charmer), and we were upgraded to a corner junior suite on 29th floor with great views of the city and the bay. Since I got the room for $150/nt. on Priceline, I was very impressed. I am a Starwood Preferred member, and that might have had something to do with it. Walked around looking for a place for dinner, and we happened on a fun restaurant, "Fire and Ice". It's an updated version of a mongolian bbq where you pick from lots of food choices, and then they cook it on a huge circular grill. All you can eat really enticed my grandson. Fortunately, we got there a little before the big crowd. Very fun place to take an energetic, hungry, young boy. We also took a fun evening tour, "Graveyards and Ghosts" next to the aquarium on our last night. Our "host", Mercy, kept us in stitches with her sketches about the ghosts and other horror stories of Boston. Grandson loved it. I might add that since this is our 7th or 8th trip to Boston (our daughter went to school there), we native Californians would like to compliment Bostonians on their hospitality, warmth, and helpfulness. I've visited many major cities of this country and the world. I give Boston the highest marks for being 'visitor friendly'. Plus, the food's great.
