Top hotels in Commonwealth
Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport
I booked and paid for a room that was supposed to be harbor view and received a room that was nothing but the city. I didn’t say anything to staff there bc we were so extreme driving all day and just wanted to go to sleep. Other than that the stay was great.

Seaport Hotel Boston
Hotel has a beautiful view of the harbor and is well located - very easy to walk to dining and downtown. Room and hotel overall were clean and felt luxurious. Coach bed was comfortable as well. Loved having a door between the bedroom and living area! Overall great experience.

Hilton Boston Park Plaza
Room and bathroom were spotless. Great location to everything. There was a late night emergency evacuation and everything moved seamlessly (we were on the 15th floor and made it down in no time). Hotel restaurant and bar were very nice and was a great place for late night relaxing following a day ...

Harborside Inn Of Boston
Great location and friendly staff, but the hotel is very basic and in need of updating. The price, however, was very reasonable.
