Harborside Inn Review

The Harborside Inn offers an unbeatable combination of location and value; at this price point in this neighborhood, it has no competition. Sightseers are near Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the harbor, and business travelers are steps from the heart of the Financial District. Every room is different; each holds a queen- or king-size bed. The decor is modern and unfussy with nautical touches -- think models and prints of sailboats, not over-the-top "ahoy, matey." Accommodations on the top floors of the renovated 1858 warehouse have lower ceilings and better views than those on lower floors. Rooms that face the street are more expensive but can be noisier; reserve an interior unit facing the skylit eight-story atrium if that's a concern.

Facilities:
Concierge; access to nearby health club ($15)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
