Seaport Hotel Boston
We loved our stay at the Seaport Hotel. Everyday it was clean and welcoming. Staff was so kind and made us feel like we were at home every time we came back to the hotel. Also wonderful harbor views from most of the rooms.

The Revolution Hotel
Nice room. Bathroom down the hall is different but ok. Bathrooms need better cleaning between use. They don’t empty the trash which sometime smells
