Top Waterfront Hotel Reviews

citizenM Boston North Station

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed with my daughter at this hotel for a KATSEYE concert, which was next door AT TD Everyone was so warm and friendly. The rooms were pristine and although they were small, super efficient exactly what we needed. Lots of really nice thoughtful details and every step person I came in contact with was incredibly helpful and warm."

Arcadian Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel staff was very accommodating and friendly, I checked in late at night and the gentleman at the welcome desk quickly checked me in and provided me with instructions as to where the parking garage was. He ran through all the amenities and anything I may need to know about the property. If you are a light sleeper, or are affected by light, this is the hotel for you - my room did not have a window to the outside, only the interior hallway, so it was completely blackout, which helped me get great sleep"

The Revolution Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was in a good neighborhood, and close enough to walk to main attractions. Staff was attentive and helpful. Only caution...the rooms are small, if you get one with a bathroom inside the room (as opposed to group bathrooms down a hallway), the floor tends to flood after taking a shower. Lastly, be prepared to do some yoga bends to get in and out of the queen size bed that barely fits in the room."

citizenM Boston Back Bay

8/10 Good

"The staff that I interacted with were courteous and helpful. I was not fond of the self check-in. I like to be greeted by a person. The rooms were very modern and clean, but extremely small. Probably the smallest hotel room that I’ve ever stayed in. It is close-by everything which is great. I love Marriott, but it was not one of my favorite locations by any means. Just too compact of living space for three days."
