Negative Reviews
negative:
Slightly small rooms
The rooms at the Indigo Boston-Newton Riverside Hotel are described by some guests as being a bit on the small side. Nonetheless, most guests are out having fun and exploring the local attractions for most of the day, and just need the room to relax after dinner, and to enjoy a good sleep.
negative:
Some noisy air conditioners
Some of the rooms still have older air-conditioning units installed. These, according to guests, can be a little noisy at times. You could try keeping them on during the day, and turn it off just before you retire at night, after the room has had a chance to cool down.
negative:
Pricey restaurant
Some travelers have commented that the on-site restaurant can be a little on the pricey side. However, they have also described the food as well worth it. The cuisine is prepared to perfection, and guests are usually willing to pay for great food.
