Independent, Eastern Massachusetts hotels

"Absolutely outstanding stay. The room was impressively clean and felt brand new — from the modern bathroom fixtures to the pristine furniture and spotless surfaces. The windows were large, with great natural light and a beautiful view, which really added to the sense of calm and space. One of the most remarkable things was how quiet it was — both day and night. I was able to rest deeply without any disturbances, which is rare and greatly appreciated. Everything felt thoughtfully designed and well-maintained. The overall atmosphere of the Encore is upscale without being overwhelming. Staff were courteous and professional. I especially appreciated the quiet, well-appointed room — it was a perfect environment to rest and regroup after travel. There was one small spot on the carpet, but it only stood out because everything else was in such flawless condition. It didn’t take away from the experience at all. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort, peace, and quality. I would absolutely stay here again."

"We stayed at the Harborside Inn while in town for a concert at TD Garden. The hotel was the perfect “home base” for our stay. We were able to walk everywhere within 10-15 minutes and it was easy to drop back into the hotel to change or have a quick rest before adventuring out again. The staff were friendly and happily accommodated us checking in a little early as our room was ready when we arrived from a very long morning of multiple flights. The room itself was nicely decorated and clean. We had a city view King room and the natural light, exposed brick and extra seating area made the room feel very spacious. We had read some reviews about the city view rooms being a little loud due to traffic but we were on the 5th floor so barely noticed the noise. The aquarium is about a 3 minute walk across the street and was definitely a fun way to beat the heat for a few hours. Faneuil Hall market is also steps away and has lots to see. A couple of minor details that were more about the area than the hotel - the 7Eleven next door is a very small location with limited options for snacks and drinks, but good enough for grabbing some bottled water/soda etc. The nearby convenience stores don’t sell beer and wine, and the nearest liquor store closed at 6pm so if you are wanting to relax with a drink in your room after a day of exploring, be sure to grab what you need early. Overall, our stay was absolutely lovely and we will absolutely stay at the Harborside again when we visit Boston."

"It was perfect. "

"I appreciate the communal living concept of this hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location of this hotel is walkable and convenient. "

"It was nice"

"Great location, the rooms are small and cute - everything you need for a place to lay your head and be out and about in the. day. Nice breakfasts and good working spaces in the lobby. Would revisit. Note for families seeking multiple bed rooms - each room design is the same - just 1 king bed. "

"It was an amazing experience especially for my first time in boston, however, my fiancee was walked into by an employee while he was in a stall using the bathroom. His stall door was wide open and she just started cleaning it like he wasnt there. Other than that amazing workers, very kind and sweet."

"On site bar and coffee are both super!! Room was lovely with a view, recently remodelled. Great walkable location "

"Amazing as always. Only place we stay when in Boston. The view from our room makes the stay even more enjoyable. "
