The only hiccup we had was a less than helpful staff at the restaurant for dinner. after a brief “discussion” things changed and we had a good meal.

This was such a fun location and a great way for people to share a room and save some money in downtown Boston. We loved the experience, the hotel, and the staff. 10/10. Would stay here again!

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport
This is one of the best decisions I ever made honestly!! They were all so sweet. The hotel was gorgeous and I had written a note for them before coming that it was my birthday and if I could get the highest floor. They had 22 floors and gave me the 20th and not just that but they also had a cup desert ...
