Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

8/10 Good
"Overall a nice property. If staying in Boston not as convenient as some others for train and other transportation. Not many restaurants in the immediate area. Not that close to Commons, Freedom Trail, etc. but if you don’t mind a 45 minute walk then you would be okay."

What is a historic hotel like in Boston?

These are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.
