“A pleasure for all reasons”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I've been staying in Boston for over 30 years in a great variety of lodgings, from really expensive to a night in the lounge at Logan Hilton after they lost my reservation! So I took a chance on this place, principally on location, next door to the T. I thought it was outstanding from the moment of check in to my 5.00 am departure the next day. Room exceptionally clean, instant wi-fi, etc. Well worth a visit

Great location right on top of a T station. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Internet was sufficiently fast to stream video and included in the price. Very helpful and friendly staff.

“Great hotel -- but get an inside room!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Nicely appointed boutique hotel in a great location only steps from the North End and Quincy Market. Unfortunately, the street noise from nearby bars (up to and after closing at 2:00 a.m.) is intolerable, so if you stay, heed the warnings to get an inside room. We didn't and really suffered for it. We stayed only one night, but left Boston exhausted, not a fun way to start the work week. The staff at the front desk is OK. Your iPhone apps may be more knowledgeable and helpful for getting information about restaurants, etc. The rooms are spotless and well-appointed, not large, great for a couple. Parking arrangement at 75 State Street is a big bonus. All-in-all, a good value, but be sure to ask for a quiet room location.

Room Tip: Stay only if there's an atrium room available.

“Fantastic Boston Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012 via mobile

person found this review helpful

We went to Boston for my 30th birthday and found this hotel online. I was nervous because some of the reviews stated there was rude staff and it was noisy. We found the exact opposite! The staff were very friendly and helpful the entire weekend. We stayed in a City View room and it was quiet for a city like Boston. We were able to walk to everything we wnated to do and the Market is directly across the street. I would most definitely stay here again and recommend it to other travelers!

“Wonderful stay in Boston”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

My husband and I decided to spend a night in Boston, but first had to decide where to stay. We have stayed at the Harborsides sister hotel Charlesmark in the past, and loved it (located in the Copley area). Charlesmark is a great location for shopping and dining, but after all the shopping we done for the holidays..this trip was for relaxation. We chose the Harborside Inn, which is steps away from Faneuil Hall. The hotel was perfect, the room was large, the staff friendly. We enjoyed a dinner at Al Dante in the North End (a ten minute walk from the hotel), and ended the evening with at the Black Rose (minutes from the hotel). We had a wonderful stay in Boston (and the Harborside Inn)...and will be sure to be back!
