The Charles Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"You literally can't select a more centrally located hotel than this one. It is smack in the middle of Harvard Square. Restaurants and the campus are all walkable. The stadium is a 12 minute walk. CVS is down the street. Lots of food options everywhere. Loved this. One minor issue is the hotel doesn't have ice machines and the rooms have coolers. When traveling for sports with families, it's nice to have both. We called for room service and 45 minutes later (and an additional prompt), they finally brought ice to the room. First world issues, but it was annoying. NOTE: make sure if you order a room with two beds, you're aware that they also have DOUBLE beds. We didn't notice this until it was too late. All that aside, we loved our stay there!!"

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"The location was excellent and the staff was very accommodating. It was convenient for sightseeing and the staff held our luggage before our room was ready. I definitely recommend paying more to make sure you get a room with windows if you plan to stay more than a night. There is no pool or free breakfast, but if you want an excellent location and comfortable stay, this place was great."

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay at the Omni Seaport. I was able to upgrade my room for a small fee, and it was totally worth it. The hotel also offered great perks, including coupons for a free drink and $25 off at Lifted Rooftop, which was a nice bonus. The room itself was excellent—comfortable bed, great shower, and plenty of places to plug in, which I always appreciate. The fitness center was also a standout. It was large, well-equipped, and had a great selection of machines and weights. The pool was very nice, especially on a hot day. There were a lot of kids, but that’s to be expected, and there was plenty of seating available around the pool. I tried three of the five restaurants on-site. They were good enough and convenient when you want to stay on the property, though nothing too memorable. Overall, it was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay, and I would definitely return."

The Dagny Boston

10/10 Excellent

"The dabbed was a gorgeous, warm and inviting place to stay! With an amazing cafe and beautiful bar restaurant right in the hotel you had all need without having to leave! The location is perfect with everything completely walkable in a few short minutes! Highly recommend staying here on your next trip to Boston"
