Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Close to many fun/interesting things to do and see. Very well maintained. The staff was great. We will definitely stay again when we return to Boston."

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"It was in a great spot! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and had a beautiful view of the building across the street. I was disappointed to find out breakfast was just coffee and prepackaged pastries but otherwise the stay was good!"

Wyndham Boston Beacon Hill

8/10 Good

"Hotel was easy to find. Parking......go for valet! At nighttime, stepped out to get fresh air and two people were smoking from a "pipe". Told someone who worked there and they just shrugged it off. I went back out later in evening and coming back in, a mouse ran in front of me in entryway with sliding doors wide open. Other than those two incidents the place was clean and very friendly! I would stay there again though!"

Hilton Boston Park Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this hotel could not be more perfect. It is so close to the T (subway), shopping, and restaurants. I felt incredibly safe in the location as well. The staff here went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Devon at the front desk is absolutely AMAZING! She went out of her way to make sure my daughter’s 16th bday trip was perfect. The ability to text and ask questions of the hotel and get an immediate reply was so helpful. Yes the hotel is a little older and the rooms are small, but I loved the decor and character. Surprisingly the elevators are crazy fast and we never had to wait around to get to our floor."

Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

10/10 Excellent

"This property is in a great location because it is close to most of the historic sights and very walkable. The coffee machine and water dispenser in the community living room was great. Having a pub attached was really fun for an end of the evening cocktail and we watched a World Cup match in there with a bunch of cheering fans. The room had everything we needed and the deck staff always had a smile and helpful advice. We loved it!"
