Top Ball Square Hotel Reviews

Encore Boston Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. Breakfast was delicious, and the entire staff professional, and caring and courteous."

Harborside Inn Of Boston

8/10 Good

"Great location for walking to top tourist spots and the subway. Small, clean room, although there was no microwave. The restaurant, Joia, was a bit fancy for more than one meal, and it turned into a bit of a club on Friday/Saturday, which we could hear from our room, but food was good! The 7/11 next door was helpful for snacks and water, but no beer/alcohol. Front desk staff kind and we are overall happy with our stay."
