Seaport Hotel Boston

Seaport Hotel Boston

8/10 Good
"The property is ideal for before/after a cruise. The room was clean and quiet. Lots of places to eat/drink in walking distance. The shower had good water pressure and nice fluffy towels. The restaurant was a bit pricey but the food was good and large portions. The only complaint was the flat pillows, minor in the bigger picture I know."

"When entering the room, there should be a fresh scent, rather than the smell of disinfectant or cleaning agents often associated with just having been cleaned. But overall, I am basically satisfied."
