Harborside Inn Of Boston

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent
"Our trip was at the end of October 2026. We stayed in a "cabin" room in the basement. There were no windows but we were expecting that. It was very quiet. Even in the fall, the room was stuffy, so we had to have the air conditioner set at 69 the whole time to have good air circulation. The bed was comfortable, and we enjoyed the shelves of DVDs/VHS available to borrow. No need to check them out, just select what you want. They are located on the first floor. There was a lot of water volume for the shower and it warmed up nicely. Also, the bathroom has soft water. We enjoyed having cold water dispensers available in the lobby area. There was a choice of plain water and lemon water. There is an attached restaurant but we didn't utilize it. The hotel location is about 3 blocks from the Freedom Trail and 2 blocks from the wharf and ferry. It really was a perfect location. There are so many restaurants to choose from for a 7-day vacation!"
