We were so pleased with the property. It was spotless, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating! From the hotel, it was a quick walk to many attractions and dining options. With their voucher (provided at check out), overnight parking was reasonably priced. We would definitely recommend a stay here!

This was the perfect stay for a weekend in Boston. It is conveniently close to the subway station, just 2 stops away from the airport. It's also in a walkable area with a lot of dining and tourist related fun options! The room was spacious, the bed was comfy and staff members were nice!

The parking lot was further away than they said. Also the discount the hotel offered came out to be more expensive than what the parking lot rate would have been.

My husband and I had a great stay at Harborside Inn! It was our first time to Boston and I'm so happy we chose this hotel. The T station was right outside and it was easy to walk to the North End and other areas close by. The price couldn't be beat, especially given the wonderful condition of the hotel. I would highly recommend this location to anyone!

I’ve been staying there every few weeks when I’m in Boston for work. They put me in the basement this time, I wasn’t expecting a basement hotel room. That should be made clear when you book, I would have upgraded.

Response from Adam on Apr 12, 2024
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment with the room assignment on your recent visit. Our cabin-style rooms, located in the basement level, offer a unique, cozy experience. These rooms are equipped with the same amenities as others but have a distinct cabin feel due to their design and layout. We strive to clearly communicate the unique aspects of these rooms including naming them "King Cabin - No Windows" on all booking sites and during booking, and we apologize if this was not made clear to you. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to enhancing your experience when you return again next time.

So this is the first “4 star” hotel we’ve stayed at that wasn’t really what is was advertised to be. The bed was a full size bed, when we were supposed to stay in a single king bed. The welcoming bottle of wine was a personal size champagne mini bottle. The hotel wasn’t horrible, it was very clean, but it was blah.

I am glad the cleaning team did a great job. I'm sorry for any communication confusion with the room type you booked. We do not have any beds on property other than King size or Queen size. The room we show that you booked was a "Queen Atrium" room which has a Queen size bed in it (60in X 80in). I hope we will get the chance to host you again, perhaps in one of our King City view rooms to show you one of the other style rooms that may fit your needs better.

The Harborside Inn is minutes fromeverything down town Boston by foot. Quincey Market, Fanuiel Hall, the Aquarium and the adjacent T station. 10 minute walk to Little Italy and Mikes Pastry.
