Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was clean and staff were wonderful"

Hotel Commonwealth

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay! Near many restaurants and less than 10 minute walk to Fenway Park. Front desk rep S. (Yes, his name is S) was extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations and directions! Also, when we told him there was a slight gurgling sound from our sink, he had it looked at immediately and when it couldn't be fixed, quickly changed our room. And with the change, he gave us a complementary upgrade to a suite! We'll definitely stay again for our next Red Sox game!"
