Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Harborside Inn from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Harborside Inn boasts a fantastic location, with convenient access to the Aquarium station on the Blue Line-just two stops from the airport. Many guests appreciate the proximity to landmarks like Quincy Market, South Station (a 15-minute walk), and the New England Aquarium (a 4-minute walk), with easy access to dining and shopping. The spacious rooms with amenities like microwaves and kitchen equipment are also commonly praised, although some guests have noted that some 'cabin' rooms can feel a bit claustrophobic, lacking external windows.

superb location and super clean room

super clean roomconvenient locationuncomfortable bed
the room was super clean and spacious, i thought the bathroom was gorgeous. the convenient location was wonderful. it was steps away from quincy market and a short walk to little italy. parking was available nearby, i had a wonderful stay!
the beds were very uncomfortable, i was like i was sleeping on plywood with very little cushion. every morning i woke up with back pain and soreness all over, not very pleasant. the room was also very tiny for the price.

I was really surprised by the easy access to the transit station. The location made it super easy to get around. I really loved the quirky brick hallways. The spaces felt so open.
The room design is quite old. It, especially the bathroom. It could use some updates.

my room, a king room city view, provided ample space. the bed allowed for restful sleep and i appreciated the thermostat. the bathroom was an adequate size with good fixtures.
i found the tap water to be cloudy so i would have liked bottled water. this could be a small but impactful improvement . additional bottled water could enhance the stay.
