Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, helpful staff, pretty view, nice bar"

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

"The hotel is very comfy and spacious. Also decent parking for downtown Boston. Not a lot of amenities, but there’s a lot around you so it doesn’t really matter. There are the green & orange line T stops very close to you and you have the Prudential center very close."

Encore Boston Harbor

"Staying at the Encore Boston Harbor is one of those rare experiences where expectations don’t just get met—they get blown out of the water. From the moment you walk in, everything feels intentional, polished, and genuinely high-end without trying too hard. The rooms are immaculate, spacious, and thoughtfully designed—honestly hard to leave once you’re in them. The amenities are on another level, whether it’s the spa, dining, or just the overall atmosphere of the property. Service is consistent, professional, and actually helpful (which, let’s be real, isn’t always a given at places like this). Everything runs the way it should, and it shows. If this is an option, it’s the only option. I’ll stay here every time without hesitation."

Harborside Inn Of Boston

"I would definitely stay here again. It’s a cool historic building with real exposed brick, and in a great location. It’s right by the aquarium and hop-on city tours. It’s a 10-minute walk to the North End and Paul Revere’s house. It’s even closer to landmarks like Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. The hotel no longer has a Starbucks in it but there’s a 7-11 right next door if you need quick snacks. I didn’t eat at Joia, the restaurant that is connected to the hotel, but it looked really good and is in the same restaurant family as some other top-rated Italian Boston picks. As an independent hotel, some of the finishing details were different than the chain hotels I usually stay in. But that just made it kind of remind me of independent hotels I’ve stayed at in Europe. Definitely not bad, just different! Overall this is a great little (big!) hotel."
