9. Patriot: Three Story Vessel

Boston

"The Patriot is a wonderful boat. Very clean. Definitely enough room for people to spread out a bit. The rental company is very responsive. It is located in probably the best location in Boston on the harbor near the ferries near the north end near some of the best lobster rolls in town. We had an amazing weekend during the tall ships. (didn’t hurt that the weather was perfect). The rooftop is terrific and plenty of space to just hang out. This is our first time using VRBO and we are delighted....

The Courier Hotel

Downtown Salem

10/10 Excellent

Where do I even begin? My family of 4 fell in love with this spectacular 21 apartment style room boutique hotel! We immediately noticed how clean it smelt and how spotless & bright everything was! The level of cleanliness at The Courier Hotel far exceeded all hotels we've ever been in! All the staff was so helpful and friendly, it was like I was catching up with old friends even though we just met. Everything we needed was already there in the room. We didn't need to pack dishes, paper towels or...

A multi-story hotel with balconies, a flat roof, and a clear sky.

Hyannis Travel Inn

Hyannis

10/10 Excellent

The reviews are true, this is a great place to stay. We based ourselves here as we explored the Cape. It’s a 10 minute walk to the port where you catch the ferries to Nantucket and the Vineyard. Main st Hyannis is the next street over. You really can’t beat the location. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. The breakfast was good and there was always plenty. The rooms are very basic, nothing fancy at all, no bells and whistles. Just a basic room with all the necessities for a decent...

The Whitney Hotel

Beacon Hill

10/10 Excellent

This is a lovely boutique hotel in a charming location where the stroll to dining and artisan shops was right outside their doors. The happy hour wine and charcuturie was lovely and the food at the restaraunt Perigrine is exceptional. Compliments to the chef! Staff are welcoming and helpful including cheerfully accomodating a room shift at the beginning for an upgrade with a river view. Highly recommended.

Joanne

A modern interior with two wooden armchairs with yellow cushions, a brick-patterned wall, and wall-mounted lighting.

Sidney

A brick building with a gold eagle statue on the entrance, a QR code on the awning, and a window display with plants.

Hawthorne Hotel

Downtown Salem

10/10 Excellent

Definitely a more expensive hotel, but worth it in my opinion if you have the funds! Super walkable to every thing you might want to do in Salem. We parked the car and didn’t get back in till we were leaving. The hotel staff were so kind and professional and polite. And the building itself is stunning inside and out. Only downside was our room didn’t have a mini fridge haha but first world problems right. There was always cold water available to refill bottles.
