8.8/10 Excellent! (2,117 reviews)
The Embassy Suites Boston Logan Airport is easy to get to and conveniently located right at the airport, making it a great option for travelers. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Dining options were plentiful—from a small gift shop with essentials to a café offering deli and bakery selections along with Starbucks coffee, plus a bar, full-service restaurant, and quick, reliable in-room dining. As expected from Embassy Suites, the complimentary breakfast was excellent, especially the made-to-order omelet bar. The hotel’s 24-hour shuttle service made getting to and from the airport terminals smooth and hassle-free.
