“Save money so you can site-see and eat.”

If you want to be out and about visiting all the historic sites of Boston and enjoying the seafood restaurants, "Little Italy's" family run bistros and more the Constitution Inn is a comfortable and very affordable located in historic Charlestown. If you're looking for swank & hip, or stately & refined, and want to spend more on a room then look elsewhere. --- A five minute walk, and a ten minute ferry ride will deliver you to the front step of Legal Seafood restaurant, and next door to the Chart House, and the great subway system stop for the New England Aquarium. Another five minute walk from the boat brings you to Quincy Market. --- The staff at the Constitution Inn was always extremely helpful with suggestions, directions and getting our taxi when we returned to the airport.

“Good Hotel for the price”

Hotel has a spartan feel to it and could use some updating but is good for the price. There is not much right around the hotel other than a couple of small cafes so plan on travelling into Boston downtown for meals. For anyone into fitness it is perfect since the YMCA on premises is great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They seem to forget something each day like new coffee cups, but always responded quickly as soon as we asked for anything. The shower heads are small so it is hard to get a really good strong shower.

“Terrific location /acceptable physical plant/best price for the location!”

Though there was an abandoned building next door-the rest of the neighborhood-1 block from the river was quaint w/ cobblestones & the naval buildings & seamen strolling about were scenic & interesting. The room was certainly clean enough. Some of the fixtures were a little rusty-but not grossly so. The gym was state of the art & the staff were very informative & helpful w/ tourist info. The wireless in the room-though I was excited to have it- it was very slow & lost the connection a couple of times. Despite these deficiencies- it was the best deal so close to the freedom trail of Boston.

“Best deal”

terrific value, great gym. waterfront location. thanks

“Excellent value in Boston”

We thought we were going to a budget hotel, but it was much better. Right on the Freedom Trail, with free shuttle service to the subway if you wanted to go anywhere. Cheap cafeteria next door (week days) for breakfast or great cafes only a 5 minute walk away. King size bed, heated swimming pool, sauna - only one complaint, the air con did not work on our last night there. Staff contacted the service company but it was Sat night and it was not fixed. Helpful front desk and gym staff. Full gym on the premises with many free classes.

“Pleasantly surprised”

We had read the reviews on this and various other websites and were fearing the worst. However, all that we can say is that we were really pleased with the hotel, which we thought was a pretty good standard for the price we were paying and in a really good location for visiting Boston. It took us 15/20 minutes to walk into Boston the first morning and we ended a great day walking around Boston with a lovely ferry ride back to Charlestown, with only a few minutes walk to do at the other end to get back to the hotel. There is a great restaurant/bar on the waterfront near to the hotel, from which you get great views over the Boston skyline, especially at night. I am pleased that we decided to ignore the reviews and go with this hotel, which was less than half the price of the downtown hotels.

“Clean, Well maintained, Good value hotel.”

This hotel is located just a few minute walk to the Constitution Museum and navy yard. The hop on, hop off buses stop right outside, so it is very easy to use this service. The rooms are a good size, clean and well maintained, but noise between the interconnecting rooms is an issue. There is not a great selection of eating/food places close. Given the price difference between this hotel and the downtown hotels, I consider this hotel to be good value for the money.

“Positive and negative”

Positive: Very cheap. Clean and big room. Most of things you need (TV, internet, fridge, microwave) Negative: Thin wall. You can't keep hot water in the bathtub. Isolated location (no grocery stores or restaurants around the hotel) Not good public transportaion (you have to use partner shuttle)

“Quiet, friendly and historic”

The area was quiet yet convenient. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. The pool in the YMCA fiitness center was a great benefit of staying at the Constitution Inn. There's a bakery around the corner that serves a fine breakfast.

“Just OK”

The hotel is OK. The room was big, but not too well maintained and cleaned. Thye bathroom was a bit old and not too convenient, even though it was very clean everyday. We expereinced a problem with the fire alarm twice in the same night at 00:30 and 2:30 AM. We had to leave the rooms, go outside and then wait for the alarm company people to stop the alarm. There was no fire, just an alarm malfunction.
