Overview

Rating

The Harborside Inn resides in downtown Boston along State Street. The inn sits close to the Freedom Trail and the Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall. This getaway location initially came to being as a mercantile shipping warehouse in 1846. However, the inn has undergone complete renovations to bring about a European-style hotel with an ultra-modern cocktail lounge. Technology plays a big part in creating the perfect modern setup, ensuring a memorable experience to all guests. This setting is ideal for business as well as fun getaways.

The Harborside inn has 116 rooms, all uniquely set out by the famous designer Dennis Duffy. The setup aims to find a balance between comfort, luxury, and functionality. Each room exhibits a homely feel, complete with custom furniture and imported woodwork with nautical lighting themes. The modern feel seamlessly blends with the ultra-modern technology employed to bring out a state-of-the-art destination.

Guests have access to wireless Internet with round-the-clock toll-free technical support, sound systems, flat screen TVs, a movie library, room climate control, among other tailor-made comforts. A strategic location means that guests easily access many fun spots in the area, including bars, comedy clubs, cocktail lounges, and music and dance clubs. There is a wide range of dining spots in the area, specializing in American, Italian, Chinese, French, Indian, Mediterranean, Thai, seafood, and steakhouses. There is something for all tastes and preferences.

Guests check in at 3 pm and check out at noon. For this process, one typically needs national identification as well as an active credit card. The hotel is a non-smoking zone. The free, high-speed Wi-Fi is complimentary for all hotel guests, making it an ideal spot for business and couples.

Pros (+) Very clean, modern look, staff was friendly and helpful.
