General Info is both OK and useful

It's not like LE doesn't know the name and address of every hotel in the area. I absolutely agree that specific hotels should not be named by name. That kind or even more specific info is worse than unnecessary. "I will in Boston on Mon and Tues staying at the ~~~ Hotel at ~~~. I will check in on Sunday night and you can recognize me by my bright pink luggage with a big sticker Disney sticker on it." Unless it's a red herring, LE and hotel staff AND WE do not need such info.

But to be helpful to tourists, I think it's OK to say stuff like "Copley Square is a very convenient area to stay. There are many good hotels in the Copley Square area." LE already knows that! But an out of towner could really use advice like that. Likewise, there are, what, 8 or 10 nice hotels in Waltham? "Waltham is a popular and convenient area, but don't make a spectacle of yourself and watch out for LE." helps a touring lady. And you can even add, "There is one hotel in that area that is decidedly inhospitable to ladies they even barely suspect of escorting. I will PM you the details." puts the specifics in a PM but alerts others not to assume 100% friendly places

I can't believe I actually have to say this, please do NOT name the city and hotel when writing a review, you never know who is reading these boards.. Also not a good idea to say that the girl basically had no verify process.  WTF

LE reads this board.  Why flag a hotel of "special attention?"  PM your answer instead.  If you can't PM then STFU.
