Seaport Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely comfortable hotel. Staff were lovely."

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great 4-night stay at the Revolution! We reserved a room with an en suite bathroom. The room was small, but mighty! Innovative layout made the room workable for 2 people with carry on luggage. Good shower pressure and a super comfy King bed! We were always greeted by helpful staff in the lobby. We’d stay again!"

citizenM Boston Back Bay

8/10 Good

"Very nice ‘neat place ‘very unique hotel ‘very nice artistic atmosphere’ Checking area it’s kind of confusing a lot bad Not enough information when you check in For example till the last day we didn’t know it’s free coffee But overall we enjoyed ‘very coffee friendly nice Pleasant staff"

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"This property is in a fantastic location. Great feature to have building conveniently located onsite, under the hotel. The building layout is odd and could be a significant challenge for guests with mobility issues. There is only one elevator and the property spans one small city block. It is obvious the this was an older building that has been updated and slightly modernized."
