DoubleTree by Hilton Boston North Shore
There was a fight across the hall for an hour with yelling and door slamming. A staff member did come up after a couple of us on the floor called but the couple were leaving the room by that point. It’s not the hotel, but rather who stays there that is a bit scary.
