Encore Boston Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Encore was 💯% the top Notch property white glove service booking our next trip for September just left August 9-12 Staff was 1000 star service no complaints at all best resort in the north east"

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"Pretty good room with decent amount of amenities (no microwave tho). I feel like our king bed was a queen?? but honestly it’s fine for 2 people. One thing is that they do a light cleaning every 2 days and full room service every 4 days but seemed to have skipped over us so we had to request towels and such at night. Other than that had no issues with this place & learned that Northeastern students get placed here during the school year so not too bad!"
