Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Copley Square Hotel, a FOUND Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location. Very helpful staff. Would stay again."

Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was quick and easy. The room was on the small size but good enough for one night before a cruise. The shower had lots of water pressure and a hand held wand. Lots of mirrors and good lighting for the wife. Big fluffy white towels. There are water filling stations on each floor. An English pub is next door with pretty good food. We were walking distance from Quincy Market with lots of food and shops. Would stay there again."

Omni Parker House

10/10 Excellent

"The Omni Parker House is a charming choice for anyone who values history, character and an unbeatable central location. They have a friendly service, classic décor and excellent location, with the hotel putting you within easy walking distance of Boston Common, the Freedom Trail and many of the city’s main attractions. The main drawback is that the hotel’s historic character comes with some compromises: rooms can feel small and dated, and bathrooms have only a screen door. Overall: A good pick if you want a historic Boston experience, atmospheric surroundings and a superb location, but less suitable if modern rooms and contemporary facilities are your priority."

Seaport Hotel Boston

8/10 Good

"Great location and wonderful hotel. Computers were down when we arrived so checked our bags and returned later to check-in. Room was great. Unfortunately, the alarm was sounded at 3:15am and we had to evacuate the hotel. The next morning when checking out there was no apology about the alarm and it was during checkout that we were informed of a $35 credit we had for our room. This could have been conveyed to us when we checked-in."
