Harborside Inn Of Boston

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was lovely. The room was great, the staff was accommodating, the location just around the corner from Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall can't be beat. I have only two suggestions: Put an obvious sign outside the entrance, it's not intuitive that guests should walk through an unmarked glass sliding door when there is a sign on a standard door right next to it that says "Harborside Inn." The Jacuzzi tub serves as the shower and it is high off the floor -- especially for older people who could easily slip. The inn provides a step tool with an assist bar but that won't help someone who's unsteady on their feet. Lastly, why is there a DVD player in the room? This is 2026, not 1996, and makes the inn look dated"

"We booked this hotel before taking a cruise. The bathrooms are great training for being on a cruise ship because they are tiny! The shower in the cruise ship was actually larger. Still a great hotel and well situated for Boston Common and all the sights of this great city."
