Bathrooms were not clean, very grungy. Beds were not comfortable. The location of this hotel is perfect though, so close to the T.

Harborside Inn Of Boston
Cool boutique hotel in an older building, but new, modern rooms. Our room had an awesome exposed-brick wall, comfy king bed and pillows, and it was super clean. Great access to the harbor and an easy walk to the north end and Commons - just follow the Freedom Trail brick line.
