Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staffs, the room is clean. Great location only several minutes walk to everywhere; safe to walk early morning and late night."

The Dagny Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel stay. The room was gorgeous & massive! Perfect for our stay in Boston. Incredibly well located in the middle of everything but still quiet when it was time for bed. The staff were so kind and helpful! The attached coffee shop was perfect for a busy morning and the scones were delicious. Could not recommend this hotel enough!"
