Arcadian Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Arcadian was a nice stay for my friends and I. Just beware that most of the rooms have windows that only face the inside of the hotel. The breakfast is mostly just bagels, toast, cereal and oatmeal. But, other than that it was super convenient to be right off the T at St. Paul St."

Seaport Hotel Boston

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel was ideal for our visit. We planned a 2-day pre-cruise stay on our own. It's easy to take an Uber, taxi or Silver Line bus to the Flynn cruise port from this hotel. The room was comfortable, nicely appointed and had great western views over a park. It was quiet. The food in the dining room was tasty - some of the best clam chowder we've tasted. If you like martinis, try the chocolate espresso! Yum. My only complaint, and it was a big misstep - we had a fire alarm at almost midnight one night of our stay. It was a cluster. No staff anywhere. Our stairwell emptied into staff/office hallway and the security guard (who worked there) also didn't know what was going on when we asked. We got more help from the firefighters as they were leaving the site. It was apparently a false alarm, but after you make your guests walk down many flights of stairs, you'd think you'd post up staff to advise the very sleepy and confused patrons where to go and make sure we knew what to do. Nobody in the lobby knew what was going on. Some manager advised us we could return to our rooms thru the elevators, but when loads of people tried to use the elevators, they were still out of service. After waiting a while, we walked up 7 flights of stairs, but the stairway we took was not straight up. We got lost in the conference side of the hotel. I think they need to do some more practice drills. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise nice stay."

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Hotel was close to shops and restaurants. The interior is super cute with a retro vibe. The room was clean and the bed was decent. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The only negative experience was the waitstaff at the bar. Both nights they showed their annoyance when asking for service because it was near closing time."

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."
