Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was great. I also appreciated the convenient parking. Everything was well organized, and I truly enjoyed my experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers!"

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Super location. Near the Freedom Trail, Quincy Market, the Harbour. Hard to beat the location. Staff was super friendly and helpful, Facilities were up to date and on point. Everything worked, elevators, AC, plumbing, didn't feel like they neglected anything, Only one complaint-Coffee, To spend the amount we spent on a room(and we were there three nights) they charged for coffee downstairs, That is pretty chincy in my book. They had the in room crappy coffee but why bother. The adjoining resturant had coffee- it was 12 dollars for 2 cups. I went to the 7-11 next door and got it for 3/cup.(and it was pretty good). If you advertise as "boutique" then follow through. The adjoining resturant, Joie, was nice and we ate there the first night in. After the subsequent nights dining out I would say it was 15% overpriced and the food was only 90% of what we got other olaces. Nice resturant great staff, and some of the items were good but calamari was slightly overcooked nad the brushcetta was in fact terrible. Carbonara was excellent. Atmosphere was very good. Would stay there again. Would not eat at the resturant."

citizenM Boston Back Bay

8/10 Good

"The staff that I interacted with were courteous and helpful. I was not fond of the self check-in. I like to be greeted by a person. The rooms were very modern and clean, but extremely small. Probably the smallest hotel room that I’ve ever stayed in. It is close-by everything which is great. I love Marriott, but it was not one of my favorite locations by any means. Just too compact of living space for three days."
