Comfort Inn & Suites Logan International Airport

10/10 Excellent
"I needed a room for the night at the last minute and was fortunate to book at the Comfort Inn & Suites - Logan Airport. I appreciated the following during my stay: 1. Greeted by friendly staff at check in 2. My room was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. 3. There is a very good Mexican Restaurant connected to the hotel called Margaritas. Since I didn’t have a car it was great to enjoy Mexican food and drink without leaving the property. 4. Even though the hotel is near the airport the rooms were very quiet. 5. The HVAC system in the room worked well. When I got to the room it was 66F which is cooler than I like. I was able to adjust the temperature and the system worked quietly allowing me to get a comfortable night’s sleep. 6. The hotel provided staff at the complimentary continental breakfast. It was nice to have a Belgian waffle freshly prepared by a friendly human. 7. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of their regular coffee. They also have a larger dispenser of lemon-infused water in the lobby. 8.They have an airport shuttle which leaves every half hour. No need to call an Uber. In summary i had a very good experience staying at the Comfort Inn & Suites - Logan Airport."
