The location was great. Everything was within walking distance. The only thing that would have been better would be for them to have coffee either in the room or in the lobby. There was a leak outside our room in the hall ceiling, which they fixed when we notified them of it. Delta canceled our return flight at the last minute and they let us stay an additional night but at a higher rate because they had fewer rooms available, which I felt was not exactly true for a Wednesday night in a tourist area.

I was suposed to receive a bottle of wine upon arrival, but this was not offered. I had to ask for it at check-out the next day, and then I was only offered a mini-bottle of sparkling wine (“this is what we offer”).

Also, the cabin rooms have no natural light and are located in the basement of a building separate (while adjacent) to the main one. In fairness, this is mentioned in the room options when booking, and the cabin room was very clean and comfortable. But it is still a drawback given the cost and the price that is paid.

It was a cute hotel with character. Our king size room was nice and clean. The bathroom was very tiny, but had a walk-in shower. This hotel does not have any amenities like a fitness room or pool. There is a refrigerator in the room, but no microwave. However, the front desk staff was more than willing to heat our leftovers for us. There is a restaurant in the hotel, but we didn’t eat there. We spent most of our time out of the hotel sightseeing so it served our purpose as a place to lay our heads at night. It was the most reasonable priced hotel that we could find.

Great location right in the heart of the action, a short walk to anywhere.

The hotel is in a great location! And the housekeeping crew did a great job! But management was nonexistent! When we checked in we went up to our room & entered with the key. To our surprise there was someone already in the room (their stuff was there but fortunately they were not). This could have been a very unsafe situation & my wife was really concerned…..We went down & told them what happened. They told me that the manager would be looking into the situation. I left my personal phone number & asked for the manager to call me. We were there for 3 nights & I never heard from management! If the manager would have responded this review would be much different. This should have been handled much more professionally. I would have been fine with a “heartfelt” apology from the manager but instead it was complete silence…..,
Again, the situation could have been much worse if the person or persons were in their room when we entered…,,…

Property was in perfect location,very well maintained , clean and everyone was friendly. My only complaints are although they had plenty of them the pillows were very tiny squares. And mainly there is no coffee on site until 7:00am and nobody could tell us the closet place to get some prior to 7:00. Change the lemon water to coffee until 7:00 or have coffee in room instead of vhs player. I left my tapes at home. Loved the shower,clean, hot water and very nice pressure and soap products smelled wonderful. Would definitely stay there again but bring own pillows and coffee pot.

Location, location, location! We were thrilled with how close everything was to the hotel. The hotel was clean and mostly quiet. We loved the friendly and helpful staff and refreshing lemon water in the lobby. We wish we had had a microwave and coffee/tea maker in the room, but we made due with morning coffees from Dunkin' Donuts around the corner. Small note: the \"moisturizing shampoo\" dried out our hair and we needed to purchase conditioner. On our last morning we had no hot water in the shower but the front desk said we could have called for maintenance to come up. Unfortunately, we were rushing to get to our morning flight. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again!

The only disadvantages were no coffee in the room and no place to set your luggage or hang clothes. Those two details were what lead me to a four star rather than five star review.

We had a first floor room and it had a musty smell, along with an unpleasant smell in the hallway. The bathroom fan did not work which explained the peeling paint on the ceiling. The light dimmer fell apart when we tried to turn it on and the bed wasn’t very comfy. Plus the tissues and toilet paper were almost out when we arrived.
The restaurant didn’t serve dinner BUT the staff were kind and helpful, the AC and cold water in the lobby was nice in mid July, and when we called for more towels in the morning they came promptly. Plus we got a parking voucher so it was $39 for the garage instead of $86.

The Location was SUPER CONVENIENT directly across from Marriott Long wharf on State street. About an 8 min walk to Rowes Wharf at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Checkin was so easy & they use metal door keys. Room are small but bathroom is very large. The closet door has a fixed handle on the door so you just pull it! I spent the first 2 days thinking it was locked so no where to hang my clothes.... I finally pulled on it and the door opened to reveal an iron, ironing board, an extra blanket and hangers. Dumb me 😂. There is NO in room coffee, tea etc. There is small room fridge & a restaurant downstairs that opened for breakfast at 8am but that was too late for us to use with 3 busy days planned. There is a 7-11 Convenience Store right next door so we picked up bottles water and Gatorade there didn't even look to see about coffee or tea. The staff as we walked by the desk was always cheery and willing to help if needed. We stayed in the fifth floor and only noise we heard was another room with kids opening their door from the hallway. We booked on Expedia which saved us money and would not hesitate to stay here again if needed. We walked to the North End to try out 1 of Table Mercato 's HUGE sandwiches and grab a canoli from Mike's Pastry Shop. Bought beer at Hanover St Liquors & one day ate lunch at The Boston Sail Loft to try out their famous lobster roll and also split the Fried clams . SO MANY Great food/drink options close by. I highly Recommend The Harborside Inn!!
