East Boston Vacations from $645

Quaint, lovely place to stay

We were there for 5 days. It was impeccable. The location, service, ambiance everything was perfect! All small attentions that makes you feel comfortable. We took the water taxi from (and to) the airport directly to the hotel fastest way to get there. Easy to walk around and along the waterfront. Breakfast was excellent

We recently stayed at the Sea Crest in Falmouth and overall had a nice experience. The biggest downside was check-in. Our room wasn't ready until much later than expected, and we didn't receive a text that it was available until 6:15 PM. Many guests appeared frustrated, and the staff seemed stressed as they handled numerous complaints about the delayed check-in process. That said, we were able to use the pools and other amenities while we waited, which helped make the delay more manageable. Our room was clean, a good size, and had very comfortable bedding. The indoor and outdoor pools were well maintained, and we especially enjoyed the heated outdoor pool. We also had a great time listening to a live band on the outdoor deck. The private beach was clean and had plenty of loungers available for guests. Food and drink prices at the bar and restaurant were a bit inflated, but it was very convenient to have everything right on-site. Despite the check-in issues, the amenities, beach, pools, and comfortable accommodations made for an enjoyable stay.

This was an interesting hotel and if you have any experience of the raffles brand elsewhere then I would recommend be prepared. The venue is central but overlooking an 8storey multi story car park and rather cramp rooms was not really value add. The suite on the other hand in higher floors were. A butler system which I must say working off some mediocre phone prompts just doesn’t cut it . One looses the will to live when saying I need a shaving kit and al you get back is “is there something else I can help you would”- yes you can some recognition of using ChatGPT or Claude prompts would have been better! For the higher end of hotels in boston the food in the long room was also disappointing. If you are meet and meat you’re not able to be accommodated with much inspiration. Vegetables ala zucchini is about it and although the boston favourites of clam chowder and boston cream pie remain I am not sure how well thought out the menu has been, even the word tofu should appear in this day and age! The pool was good and very much accessible and they had a number of hoists next to the pool to allow people with access issues a dip. The jacuzzi was hotter than a flombe but good for your joints I am told as your joints may melt if you are there long enough. I think my main issue is the staff still need to have a bit more understanding and training on what the raffles hospitality and service constitutes. Great place for influencers but lacks the Mature understanding of what it is.

It would be nice to include bottled water in the room. Expected a little more for paying $1k/nt. Staff were courteous. The shuttle is helpful and convenient to airport.
