LibrarianCruiser Posted March 14, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Big fire today right next door -- possibly also at the Hilton.. now the power is out in Back Bay. I know some folks stay here pre or post cruise... so you may want to give Hilton (the national number, not the Back Bay number, obviously) a call and ask what the status might be. They may not know for a while, but it might be a good idea to have a back-up plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted March 14, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2012 There is a transformer substation in the building next to the garage. Thankfully, the Hilton is fine. However, that immediate area is still without power (as of 2 hours ago as I drove through there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
