I recently stayed here for business and thought the location was perfect and staff very helpful. The room itself was a bit dated and musty and the bedspread may have had something gross crusted on it. Te closet was very musty and I was hesitant to hang clothes to potentially pick up the smell. If they invested in new linens... More

I was only at Harborside Inn for one night. The room was pricey for literally only showering and sleeping but the location was hard to beat. And much less than the large chain hotel at the harbor. Walking distance to absolutely everything but bring comfortable shoes! Many restaurant and bar options in the area too. The Harborside Inn is updating... More

Great location in a great city. Walk to great tourist spots...North End, Quincy Market. T station right outside. Very convenient. And they are putting finishing touches on a new bar in the hotel. This property has free wifi, and coffee available at all times in the lobby. Very nice!

The Harborside Inn is in a fanatastic location. Surrounded by bars, and spitting distance from everything a tourist has come to see in Boston. The disappointing thing about the hotel is its tootal lack of atmosphere. It seems dull, almost dead. The staff are helpful enough but they don't really make you feel that welcome and fail to set the... More

The location is fantastic, close to the Fanueil Hall area. We walked to almost everywhere that we wanted to visit. If you are travelling from Logan airport it is only two stops on the 'T' Blue line after a short initial bus ride from the airport terminal (included in the price of a 'T' ticket). The 'T' Aquarium stop is... More

This was my third time in 4 years staying at the Harborside. The hotel is located so conveniently to Quincy Market, North End, Waterfront, and pretty much any other touristy spot you may want to see. It's great that you can walk every where, but the T-station is right outside the door and cabs are constantly driving past. The hotel... More

We thought the Harborside Inn was a great find. We loved the location – steps from Quincy Market/Fanueil Hall (even though we don’t enjoy touristy areas) but it was our first time in Boston so we took it all in. T Station is right outside the door but we walked everywhere because we could – North End, Beacon Hill, Back... More

We stayed here one night and the room was great for the price we paid. The room is a little small but its new and clean. Hotel is close to bars and restaurants which was great . They are opening a lounge in the lobby area ( it wasn't open when we stayed) and once it does this place will... More

Horrible service! Staff was rude and arrogant. The hotel seems to be run by a bunch of hungover college kids who just don't care. In addition: No restaurant. No Bar. No concierge. Check-in was rude. No valet. No one offered to help me with my three suitcases. No one pointed me towards my room. No personality. Check-out was rude. Asked... More

This was our second visit to the Harborside Inn. The last visit was about ten years ago. This was and still is a great hotel to stay during a visit to Boston. The rooms are very nice and comfortable. We stayed in an inside Queen room, and it was very quiet. No street noises heard. Liked the use of the... More
