Please help me decide! Jury's or Nine Zero!!

Hi,





Which hotel is better for a couple (30 yo) who wants to have fun in June! Jurys is $200 less, but Nine Zero includes contienetal bfast and happy hour. Jurys looks like it has a really fun irish bar, but Nine Zero looks like an overall better location.





Please help me decide!!

$200?!?! Do you know what continental breakfast is?? Some rolls and coffee. And how much cheap wine can you drink in an hour??





I%26#39;m a big fan of Nine Zero, and generally would give it a slight edge over Jury%26#39;s, but this is a no-brainer.





The difference in location is negligible.

Thanks for your reply. Another factor is that I booked Jury%26#39;s on ';Skoosh.com';. I haven%26#39;t heard of it, so I%26#39;m a little weary. But, yes $200 I can%26#39;t even drink $200 worth of wine!




Location-wise they are both good. Don%26#39;t let that be your deciding factor.




I agree this is a no brainer.




I%26#39;ve heard of skoosh.com, but never used them. However, I just wanted to make you aware that the Jurys has a Best Rate Guarantee where they will match the rate you find on another website. This will generally save you some booking fees that the third party sites collect and allow your reservation to be cancelable. See their website for more details.




Pickles: Nice tip...




Thanks, so I called them and since skoosh is a ';wholesaler'; they can%26#39;t match the price. I did, however, make sure my reservation went through and it did. Jury%26#39;s it is. Thanks!




Thanks for reporting back regarding the Price match...have not heard that one before. Really the wording on the website leads one to believe that the only restriction is that the price must be viewable and bookable by the general public. I have seen hotels not match price before due to the room on, say, skoosh.com calling it a ';standard room with 1 king bed'; or something, and the verbiage on the Jurys website calling it a ';superior king'; room. They will say that this is not for a ';similar room type'; and will not pricematch it based on that loophole...




I prefer small and intimate so Nine Zero. I was there last week and recommend you ask for a room on the right of the hotel high up to avoid the street noise at 2-5 AM that we sadly experienced.




Now see how every one thinks different, I%26#39;d go with Jury%26#39;s in a heartbeat! For location, you%26#39;d want to be in the Back Bay now that you%26#39;re in your 30%26#39;s, (seriously!) You can always head down to Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the waterfront %26amp; Canal Street while visiting via subway or you can hop off the trolley or something, that%26#39;s one thing about Boston that you%26#39;re going to love, it%26#39;s very compact %26amp; convenient.





I stayed at the Jury%26#39;s in DC and absolutely loved it there %26amp; wouldn%26#39;t hesitate to stay at one. You%26#39;re lucking out with that deal for the one in the Back Bay. It%26#39;s a beautiful hotel %26amp; comes highly recommended on TA quite often. I thought I read online %26amp; in the Globe that they%26#39;re thinking of renaming Jury%26#39;s to something else?? I thought I was hearing things with that one!





Nine Zero is in a good location, it%26#39;s a gorgeous hotel too, but to me Jury%26#39;s does circles around it just the same.





You will really enjoy the Back Bay %26amp; their fun, irish bars %26amp; also walking %26amp; browsing thru the many shops on Newbury Street, Boylston Street, Copley Place %26amp; the Pru shops, I guarantee it.





Have a wonderful time!
