8/10 Good

"Clean, convienirnt"

Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor

8/10 Good

"Built in 1993, the Boston Harbor Hyatt was originally a great hotel. Since then, even in the face of minimal updates, the hotel is extremely tired. Needs new carpets, paint and a better restaurant. When it first opened, it had a wonderful, high-end second floor restaurant. Now, there's just the first floor cafeteria-like place to eat. An originally top of the market hotel! Now, not worth the price anymore!"

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but it should’ve been much better. We found someone’s leftover food and open liquor in our refrigerator. The shower pressure or head was poor. The sink was slow to drain and always dirty, the toilet was a poor choice because there was always low water in the bowl and it was always dirty. The room could use some decor, kinda plain for a $400 + hotel."

Arcadian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location. Easy walk over to BU, Fenway. The trolley stop right in front is also terrific. If I had any criticism, it would just be regarding the breakfast buffet. Instead of having a lot of bagels and bread, it would’ve been nice to have perhaps a cheese danish or a croissant. Also, the only cheeses offered were two varieties of American cheese. It would’ve been appreciated if there had been other kinds of cheeses. Nevertheless, it’s a great hotel and I will definitely stay there again."

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.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Forest Hills hotel for you.
