10/10 Excellent

"I liked my experience of staying at clean hotel. Also breakfast was very good."

Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 7 nights and enjoyed our time there. We knew we selected a hotel that was across the water from downtown, but we really wanted a good view. It was a great decision! We took transportation to the Boston Waterfront, Boston Common and the Seaport district daily. This is a GREAT place for a “home base”. It was convenient to have a restaurant in our hotel. We had dinner there three times and the food is really good. They also give you free clam chowder daily if you stay there. it’s good chowder too. The view of Boston from the restaurant is the same as our room, amazing. Although I gave a five star rating there were a couple drawbacks: The hotel sits kind of alone out by the airport and we couldn’t get Uber Eats or Door Dash deliveries. The hotel store is very limited. The ice machine was broken on our floor the entire time. They don’t have a lot of ice in this hotel as it is and that was a bummer. My wife likes ice and taking the elevator to get it twice per day was not ideal. Like I mentioned previously, this was not enough to detract from our 5 star rating. The view was awesome and the location worked well, we just had to plan ahead. If you are visiting Boston this is a great option."

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Forest Hills?

While Forest Hills offers a unique blend of urban convenience and green spaces, other neighbourhoods in Massachusetts that share some of its desirable characteristics include Jamaica Plain and Roslindale.

Jamaica Plain, often called "JP," is a well-established neighbourhood known for its green spaces, independent shops, and a strong community feel. The Arnold Arboretum, a sprawling botanical garden, and Jamaica Pond provide extensive recreational opportunities. Centre Street is the main thoroughfare, lined with local businesses, restaurants, and cafes. It's a great fit for solo travellers or couples who appreciate being close to nature while having easy access to Boston's city centre via the Orange Line.

Roslindale, or "Rozzie" as locals call it, offers a more suburban feel with a distinct village centre. Roslindale Village is the heart of the neighbourhood, featuring a town square, a farmers' market, and a variety of family-run shops and eateries. It's a good option for families looking for a more relaxed pace of life with excellent local amenities and good transport links into Boston via the commuter rail.

When is the best time to go to Forest Hills?

The best time to visit Forest Hills, Massachusetts is during the late spring (May to early June) and autumn (September to October).

During these months, the weather is generally mild and pleasant, making it ideal for exploring the area's natural beauty and outdoor attractions. You'll find comfortable temperatures for walking, cycling, and enjoying the local parks without the intense heat of summer or the chill of winter.

For those who appreciate vibrant foliage, early to mid-October is particularly spectacular as the New England landscape transforms with rich reds, oranges, and yellows. This is a fantastic time for scenic drives and photography, especially around the Arnold Arboretum.

Travellers looking for a quieter experience might prefer late spring, before the peak summer crowds arrive. The gardens are in full bloom, and the longer daylight hours allow for extended outdoor activities.
