Harborside Inn Of Boston
No parking on-site, but decent rate at the garage a short walk away. Early check in is never promised, but they will secure your bags so you can start your trip if you do arrive early. Great hotel bar, haven’t eaten at the restaurant, but it always appears busy. Staff is fine.

The Revolution Hotel
The location was good, we found walkable places to eat at, check out Billy’s and get the pastrami sandwich. Room was clean and they were able to accommodate an early check in since we flew in on a red eye.
