Reviews for Boston Harbor Hotel
Good experience but pricey
The hotel is clean with friendly staff, comfortable beds, large rooms, and great views. It is conveniently located near a lot of off-site entertainment and dining options within walking distance. However, the room is extremely expensive, as is the on-site dining. We ate on-site because I got a $100 voucher through AMEX. Dinner for two cost me $110 for two cocktails, a split appetizer (which are actually portioned for 1 person, unlike most restaurants that are portioned for 4-6), a split entree, and a split side dish. Tax and tip brought the bill to $138. Note that we are light eaters also would normally not be enough food to satiate two people. At that price point - meaning, upscale dining - the service was sub-par, the presentation of the dishes was meh, and the quality of the flavors were poor. Also had a $90 breakfast voucher and spent $30 of it getting two coffees, 4 hard boiled eggs, and a 4oz piece of overcooked salmon. Without the $300 AMEX travel voucher and additional dining vouchers, this place wouldn't be worth the money.

Beautiful Hotel with Great Service
Beautiful hotel with exceptional service right on Boston Harbor. Great location - easy to walk to many historical places and great restaurants. Excellent service - views of the water from the room were stunning.

We enjoyed our overnight experience.
Location is excellent, especially if you want to explore anything along the harbor or seaport. Room was clean and comfortable. For an older hotel, everything is upgraded. Staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We had a lovely harbor view which was very relaxing. Though there was a little noise at times from the ferries, it was actually nice to watch the activity on the harbor. We were only there for one night so we did not use any amenities.

Boston Harbor Stay
This was our first time staying at this hotel. We had a gorgeous view of the waterfront. We appreciated the close proximity to the North End, Faneuil Hall, and the public path through the Seaport District. The staff was friendly, helpful and kind. The rooms were clean and classic. We enjoyed the convenience of the Dandelion Coffee shop right at the entrance. We also loved the heath club in the basement, complete with a full sized lap pool, fully stocked fitness area and a golf simulator! We will be staying here again.

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel is top notch with amazing service! Their hospitality started at check in with the young gent who upgraded our room to a nice harbor view since the hotel was not at capacity and knew I was hoping to make this a special visit with my daughter. Room service provided extra waters. At check out it was the first time I experienced where they did not need to assign a time rather just made note of a late check out which was helpful since our flight was delayed due to a snow storm the night before. We departed at 1pm so it was not anything unusual but they made it pain free to request.
It's a great addition to your portfolio of fine hotel and resorts that you provide on your site and where you offer your specials.
