Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Seaport Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"I appreciated there were multiple places to eat onsite, as well as a restaurant or coffee shop for breakfast options. The location is excellent and I was able to walk to my work event at the conference center easily and safely. I would recommend to a friend!"

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant place to stay, and I would absolutely stay here again!"

The Godfrey Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Drop off was brutal. Service was great. Clean room. However remember you are right down town and it's noisy at night and early morning. Room was smaller than most hotel rooms and no place to sit besides the bed. Loved the steamer and steam rack in the room. The room cleaner was excellent and did a great job."

Hyatt Regency Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Location was great for walking the city. Parking was quite expensive but attached to hotel. The arrangement of the elevators and location of the lobby and pool/workout room was confusing. Room was clean and nice size. Great decor and modern design. Staff was friendly and extremely helpful on visiting the city. Ate at hotel restaurant—excellent."
