Recent Reviews in Ball Square

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Harborside. Conveniently located to everything. We will absolutely stay here again when visiting Boston!"

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This trip was a girl’s trip, and one where we were attempting to keep it budget friendly. We weren’t quite sure about a hotel with a shared bathroom space. Needless to say we were super impressed and surprised with the setup here. The hotel was super clean, so cute, and much quieter inside than your normal hotel. Loved we were able to open our window for cool air at night. Bathrooms were well maintained. In a great location that was easily walkable to all parts of Boston. Would 100% stay here again and have already been telling everyone we know about this spot."

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

8/10 Good

"I love this hotel as it has everything you need right onsite. The only thing I was less than impressed with was the room. My husband and I stayed in the Artist Tower and our King room literally had the sink, toilet and shower in the same area as the bed. There was no privacy when using the bathroom as there was only a glass door you shut with the shower right beside it. I will be sure to book my room differently next time as I wasn't aware this was a studio type of room. Besides that, the hotel was clean, accommodating and convenient to the convention center! We will definitely stay here again next year!"

Hyatt Regency Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great for walking the city. Parking was quite expensive but attached to hotel. The arrangement of the elevators and location of the lobby and pool/workout room was confusing. Room was clean and nice size. Great decor and modern design. Staff was friendly and extremely helpful on visiting the city. Ate at hotel restaurant—excellent."

citizenM Boston North Station

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel. I love the style of the rooms and the environment of the lounge area. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. When we were checking out, one of the concierges working the check-in area asked us about our stay, if we had been before, etc. We hadn't purchased a breakfast plan, so she offered us to stay and eat the buffet style breakfast and have coffees on the hotel. The buffet was excellent and the cafe Americano the bartender made for us were perfect. Can't wait to stay at this neat hotel again."
