Top Back Bay East Hotel Reviews

Seaport Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful stay. The entire property was exceptionally clean and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend chatting up with Gil the bartender...he was thoroughly pleasant and a joy to converse with. Breakfast buffet was high quality and delicious. Highly recommend!"

Omni Parker House

8/10 Good

"Pleasantly surprised to learn this is the oldest hotel in operation in the country upon check-in. Staff kindly shared many fun historical facts with us at check-in, making the stay more interesting and immersive. Rooms were clean and well renovated. We paid online at time of booking through Expedia, and though Expedia had noted there was an amount due at check-in, we were still surprised at the deposit (likely $100/night). Though most of this deposit was returned to us after check-out, it would have been nice if Expedia could have detailed what the on-site charges were for at booking. Upon receiving our invoice from the hotel after check-out, we learned the on-site charges were for "destination charges." It would be helpful if Expedia could include information about this at time of booking or indicate if it could have been avoided by booking with other hotels (likely $30/night)."
