The Staff

From the "Welcome to the Boston Harbor Hotel" to the "Have a safe trip to the airport" every single staff member we encountered was great. Could not have expected any more. We will return and recommend.

Wonderful!

We stayed 5 nights in June.  The hotel is in a great area on the waterfront at Boston Harbor.  The room was large and divided into a bedroom area and a sitting area with a TV in both areas.  The furniture is very nice and the bed comfortable.  The staff is professional, friendly and always helpful in giving directions and recommendations.

Best Hotel Stay Ever

My husband and I stayed here for our 5th wedding anniversary this past weekend and it was wonderful...more than I could have hoped for. BHH is a classic hotel, beautiful, and they pay attention to the details. I let them know we were there for our anniversary and they upgraded us to a harbor view at no cost. That view made our weekend that much better. Fresh fruit in the room, bottled water, turn down service. Way to make me feel like a queen.

Awesome Hotel

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
This is a beautiful hotel with all the surroundings to make you feel at home. The staff makes you feel as though you are the only hotel guest! The food is wonderful and it is definitely worth upgrading to a deluxe room with a Harbor view. The rooms are spacious and the beds are so comfortable.

Truly a great hotel

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, exceptional service, perfectly maintained facility, nice view, great food from room service, friendly and pleasant staff & managers
5-star in every possible way!! Great facility, amazing service. Everyone we encountered from the hotel was friendly and efficient. We were in Boston to take our son to Children's Hospital and the hotel staff really went out of their way to make our stay pleasant and accommodate us. Given our situation, we used room service for most meals and the food was superb and always delivered promptly. A fine hotel. It is where we will stay in the future when back to Boston.

Great over all experience!

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet
Cons: none
Fabulous room, with polite, helpful, capable service. Superb room service. I went with a child to tour Boston, they could not have been more hospitable and welcoming. It was first rate for me as a finicky adult and heaven for my son! The best location as well.

First class service, perfect location

My 10-year-old son and I traveled from Minnesota to Boston for spring break, both to visit relatives and to introduce him to some of the tourist-y things I'd taken for granted growing up in Massachusetts. This was our second stay at the Boston Harbor Hotel, and once again it was perfect. The service is impeccable, the accommodations excellent, and the location of the hotel is perfect. We were quite close to, and within walking distance of, the Aquarium, Faneuil Hall, the North End, etc. All employees went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a pleasant one. We spent many long days out sightseeing and visiting, and were always quite happy to return to the hotel at night. I very highly recommend the Boston Harbor Hotel, and will certainly return.

5 star hotel

We stayed at the Boston Harbor Hotel for the weekend. The hotel is beautiful. The location was walking distance to the Aquarium & Quincy Market. The service of the staff is second to none. EVERYONE was friendly and helpful. Having stayed at many hotels in Boston, we found this hotel to be first class in every way! The hotel even has a private car to get guests around the city. Check- in is at 3:00, got there at 12:00 and our room was ready. The best part is that check-out is at 1:00. Can't think of anything to improve! Simply the BEST of Boston!
