3 star hotels in Boston

Great Staff, But the Restaurant Needs Work | May 15, 2026 Overall, my stay at the Courtyard Marriott has been a positive experience, and I want to give credit where it’s due. Front Desk — The front desk team has been consistently professional, friendly, and responsive. Check-in was smooth, and any questions I had were handled promptly and with a genuine smile. This is exactly what you expect from...

Airport hotels should offer one thing more than anything else: convenience The 45 min transfer from the airport in my opinion didn’t give me that considering it was past midnight and there was no traffic whatsoever. I was told twice by an operator it will be there in 5-10 minutes…Next time I’ll just uber. I recommend calling while waiting for the luggage.

Really like the hotel, the location to the city however they need a larger parking lot. I stayed here a few years back and they didn't charge for parking however it's now $30 however I found myself parking outside of the designated parking areas and didn't feel as though the car was in a safe location. The folks inside didn't give me any hassle so that let me know it's normal. Want to end on a positive...

We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott - Logan Airport for a long weekend in late October. Pros: Friendly and helpful reception staff. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Restaurant, fitness room, and Mini Market available on site. Shuttle to and from Logan Airport was excellent. Restaurant food was great. Cons: Bathtub had little to no adhesives. Very dangerous. One of the two elevators was out of order...

The room is big, clean and feels quite new

It is a 4-minute drive from Logan Base. You can take the airport shuttle for free. There is no breakfast, but you can wash and dry your clothes. The hotel is clean, tidy, sanitary and comfortable.

Very impressed with this hotel. One of the better Courtyard Marriot’s I’ve stayed at. Everything was updated and the hotel and room were very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful - both the front desk and bartender. Not a lot of dining options on site - but was not expecting at a courtyard. Location was perfect. I will definitely stay here again when in Boston.

This is by far one of the nicest Courtyard hotels I've stayed at in Marriott's portfolio. This property is historic and has been tastefully renovated, there's a grab & go shop in the lobby with a few pre-made food options, there are microwaves on the guest floors, and the expected amenities in each room. The restaurant on-site serves breakfast buffet food until around 10/11am, and it's your standard...

We stayed a week and it's a great location in Boston. The rooms are a bit small though, no drawers, very little room for wardrobe. Bathroom is ok and the hot water is ample, good shower. Valets don't do much and there's no bellman either. Close to boston common, restaurants, 711, cvs, dunking, beer store is next door. Cute Pocket park down the street.

Had a wonderful stay at this Marriott property during my first visit as a solo traveler to Boston. The hospitality truly stood out from the moment I arrived. A special thank you to Gina at reception for her warm welcome and thoughtful recommendations that made the city feel like a second home. I also really appreciated Gina and her manager Anne for kindly helping me to preserve the flowers I bought...

Amazing location first off. Right opposite the Wang theater. Close to T stations, easy access to uber rides, and very close to Chinatown. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Our room was clean and spacious. The breakfast at Post 10 was great; lots of options and attentive wait staff. The valet service and check out process was seamless and very fast. Highly recommend.

The bed is very soft. The chair provided is an adjustible comfort one which I think it's good for most people but not for us. I prefer a simple chair.

Normal all things are appropriate the location is near to Boston common

Service was good, staff was nice.

Although the Wi-Fi did not work on the first day due to a power outage caused by a nearby fire, the rest of the stay was comfortable. The location was great and the room was spacious.

Hotel was run down and had to pay extra for early check in and a cot. Location was great to get to TD Garden.

Overall clean, a little noisy, the hotel is old

This property is well located near public transport, Mass General Hospital, good restaurants and a Whole Foods which we found helpful. Boston Commons and the Freedom Trail are within walking distance. The property carries the Wyndham name but is somewhat down on the heels, showing its age in public areas, carpets and general appearance. Service was friendly, welcoming and efficient. But, for our...

Stayed here for a few days, service exceeded expectations (daily cleanings), whole hotel is very new! Location could have been closer to old downtown, but fairly close to the shoreline park for a nice walk or run. 5 stars because it met or exceeded expectations, nothing crazy fancy but would stay again.

Hotel is in an ideal location which allowed us to walk everywhere. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The staff greeted us each morning and were very friendly. Had a beautiful view from our room! Would absolutely stay here again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an exceptional experience at Courtyard by Marriott Boston Downtown/North Station thanks to Zahed, the night shift supervisor. From the moment I arrived, he was professional, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. Traveling can be exhausting, but Zahed made the entire check-in process smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was his genuine kindness and willingness to go above and beyond...

Great hotel in a great location! Very clean and modern. Only one block from the T station and diagonally across the street from TD Garden. We stayed over for a Celtics game and it was very convenient being able to walk back to the hotel after the game. The front desk staff was super nice! It was my husband’s birthday and they gave us a room with a great view of TD Garden, a birthday card, and 2 free...

Tony at the front desk is the best!!! He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great view for our stay, his attention to detail and kindness truly stood out. We travel to Boston every couple of months and usually like to try different hotels. While we’ve stayed here before and already loved it, this visit sealed the deal, this hotel will absolutely be our home base moving forward. The rooms...

Excellent. Great view and excellent service. Cleanliness: Very clean. Facilities: New, all amenities available. Environment: Great location, very convenient, close to everything and right by the river. Service: Friendly front desk staff.

Big room with a wonderful river view. Bathroom ua also very big.

A very nice hotel, clean and convenient the location

I still quite like Courtyard hotels; the facilities are very convenient. It would be perfect if the bathtub in the bathroom were replaced with a shower stall.

The room was of comfortable size and I particularly appreciated that the room was made up daily. Friendly staff and good service in general.  The Grab and Go Bistro offered a good selection of breakfast choices, while the quality of dishes served at the Bisuteki (Japanese restaurant) by the lobby has much room for improvement, given the high prices! I also liked that the hotel is sandwiched between...

Nice hotel with two supermarkets very close by. Public transport is a little inconvenient though with bus stops several minutes away and the T a 20 min walk.

Misleading infor . public and roadside parking is not available. Only can park in paid parking usd45 / day. Seems like no other option. That’s not made known when I made a booking. It said public parking is available. Turnout roadside parking is only allowed for residence permit only. Service is so so. One reception doesn’t seem too friendly

We got no sleep due to loud central air con we couldn’t turn off. On checkout when I mentioned this to the receptionist she couldn’t have cared less. And no response was given. We were charged $100 for a late check out, despite our total stay being less than 15 hrs. Very disappointing.

I did a room and parking bundle for the week I only needed six nights but paying for seven still saved me more money than parking somewhere else near the airport. The parking lot was almost full when I arrived but I managed to find a spot. The Hilton app didn't have my virtual card ready so I checked in at the front desk. Room was great. The shuttle lleaving the hotel was fine, I waited 5 mins. I called...

Location from Boston Logan airport: airport : Free shuttle bus from the airport; pleaee call them beforehand and they will send out a bus. You can even call at the airport. literally a 5-minute drive. Tbh it was a little tricky to find at first So basically the bus stop is at the end on the opposite side. Rooms: Spacious, clean, and well equipped with tea and a coffee machine. Customer service...

Great hotel to stay. Very clean rooms and helpful staff! This was my families 2nd time staying here on our visit to Boston. Front desk staff were very welcoming and accommodating! The area around hotel seemed very safe. Another plus for this hotel was that it was very close to the airport and they do provide a shuttle to the airport!

From South Station to the hotel is closer than I thought only $25-35ish for Uber. For subway take 15 mind from the hotel to the station. The room is big and clean, the shuttle bus service is so good only take 10 mins or less if no traffic from hotel to airport.

First stay here. Easy. Great shuttle.

The hotel's location is great, and the facilities and environment are excellent. The service is also very good. The only downsides are that breakfast is a bit boring, and the soundproofing in the rooms could be improved. You can hear people in the hallway quite loudly.

Was at the seaport district area for a meeting. Room was comfortable and clean. Location was ok. Breakfast was lovely and warm and a pleasant touch to every morning. Good value for the price paid.

Front desk not friendly, but bfast staff good, they realy help and kind

We had a great time at the hotel. Everybody was very nice and helpful. We stayed three nights during our visit to Boston and we couldn’t be happier. The room was clean and spacious with all the amenities we need. Staffs was extremely helpful at check-in and throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom had a sliding door with no lock which was annoying. There was a well stocked store with drinks and snacks in the lobby. There was a large selection for breakfast but none of it was very good except of course the waffles. The waffles were good. There was coffee and tea available all day which was convenient. The pool was small but well maintained and...

It was amazing with a gym and a swimming pool. It was also close to major tourist spots.

The hotel location is very good, friendly staff, and room is clean. Recommended!

The experience was great after having such a long day of travelling. The room was amazingly clean and th breakfast was phenomenal

I used this hotel for an 11-hour layover and everything went well. - check-in was quick and smooth. - The complimentary shuttle runs every 30 minutes between 3 - 5 am; then every 20 minutes after 5 am. If you're in terminal E the shuttle pick up is in front of door E 202. - The hotel has hot water but it takes awhile for the shower to heat up. As a layover hotel, I have no complaints and will use them...

Good hotel. Large parking lot, close to the airport. Perfect room and clean. Bar was not very busy, but the house salad with chicken was excellent!

Fili was so helpful and nice. He is so kind and patients. We got our aircon warming and from that day he was sent to us for assistance we just found a helping hand and he made our stay comfortable. He's more on electrical and maintenance. Thanks Fili . Did I spell your name right? Anyways.. The bathroom is clean. The breakfast is ok. Thanks a lot. Hoping to see more friendly and warm staff around

Location of the hotel is really close to the airport. It is a nice hotel, the price a bit too high for the quality of the rooms. There were a few things that could be better, hair on places you don't want them, dirty spots. Parkinglot that was full and the price was 20 dollars a night

The tv in the bedroom would not turn on. Breakfast ended too early. No coffee available after 930. Pool was great! Very comfortable accommodations. Lovey shower. The little market was convenient. Great location. Walked to TD Garden!

Great location. Large room, very cozy. Only issues were that the trash cans were a bit small, and the fridge wouldn't cool. The freezer worked though, so at least I was able to keep water cold.

Cleanliness throughout the property. A nice free breakfast. The valet staff was good. My room was lovely and crystal clean. Desk staff were also professional, friendly and helpful,

Great location. Close to the city center. Beautiful view of the marina. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly reception. In short, we enjoyed our stay!

Nice environmental- good breakfast and outdoor patio- definitely coming back!

The price is too expensive. There is almost no service for 4 nights. The room hygiene needs to be cleaned by the front desk. There is no bottled water. The breakfast is not bad. Parking costs 50 US dollars a night.

The facilities are complete and relatively new, and the hygiene is quite good.

Short distence to subway station. Still recommand to take Cab if you have a luggage Very clean rooms. Didn't take the breakfast in hotel so no comment on about food Nearby got a mall and easy to get food and a little shopping there

I recently stayed at Courtyard by Marriott Boston – South Boston, and it was a great experience overall. The staff were very friendly and professional, making check-in and checkout easy. My room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. The location is convenient for getting around the city, though it’s a bit outside the main downtown area. The gym and Wi-Fi were both...

Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable rooms. But…There is NO SWIMMING POOL! Please update your page on 3rd party platforms to reflect this. The pool has been closed for years so says the staff there… Gym is good however, and the staff were great. Location wise, it’s not amazing unfortunately. A little far from downtown and the area isn’t great, quite a few people in the nearby area seem to be...

There are many restaurants and shopping options nearby.

It's great. I booked it for a friend.

The facilities were clean and the surroundings were quite quiet. It is a 10-minute drive from Harvard University.

The room was clean and tidy, and it's not far from Harvard.

Super Clean and Morden setting, great ! 👍💕 Lobby beautiful abd love to come back again！

Great location and the staff were super friendly! 😎

The twin beds are 1.5 meters wide, which is quite spacious and suitable for families with children. The room is clean, comfortable, quiet, and tidy.

The Somerville Cumbria Hotel boasts a prime location near Harvard University in Boston, easily accessible on foot or by taxi to the campus and surrounding commercial areas, making it convenient for travelers visiting the campus. The hotel's overall facilities are average. Rooms are standardly laid out, bedding is clean and tidy, and hot water is readily available, meeting basic accommodation needs...

Great location, close to everything, free bottles of water at the front desk, very comfy beds and pillows .

I am at the residence Inn by Marriott in downtown Boston Seaport, and this hotel has the best service I have ever experienced. I only wanna stay at Marriott hotels if they’re going to have this level of service special shout out to Ashly for answering every annoying question I had thru chat with graciousness and thoroughness. To Veronica & Widelfry for going above and beyond to accommodate parents...

Beautiful hotel. Newer Residence Inn with the designed rooms giving some old Boston charm. Clean rooms. Upon entry there are cookies by the wonderful and kind reception staff. LUCKY'S is a half block over and a great late night choice. Many places to eat surrounding the hotel. Parking garage is very close, but they also don't mind if you unload your car and stay in the driveway a few minutes. Very...

Cool hotel. Very new and well maintained. They upgraded me to a suite which was nice. Such a cool part of town. I’d definitely stay here again. It was a bit pricey for a residence inn… ~$650 / night. But the hotel and staff were all wonderful. So no complaints from me.

My husband and I have a home in Vermont we try to visit every season (we live primarily in South FL) and have found it easier since having a baby to fly direct into Boston, spend the night, and drive the rest of the way the next day. Our son is a toddler now and therefore we have spent many nights together in Boston at this point, and have tried a variety of different hotels. This location became our...

Perfect stay, location is awesome, definitely would stay here again

Room smelled like dirty vacuum. Blanket was old and too thin. Gross duvet cover. Not enough parking

Staff great in all ways. Bed could have been warmer re: blankets, etc. Parking was limited though we got a space and we recognize that it is in Boston/Cambridge. Breakfast was very good. Entire facility was very clean

Staff seemed nice. Check in was smooth once we figured it out. (The website given in the email to check in does not work. Perhaps the app provided more info, but I did not download it.) Park in front in the turn around, go in and get your room keys, which will be used to get into the first come/first served parking garage. (There's another garage right next to the one you use for the hotel. Don't use...

Pros: Free parking and excellent free breakfast. Rooms were clean once we got the right one. Cons: Housekeeping is every other day, and the TV channel selection is limited.

Great stay, convenient location. The room was spotless, breakfast was great, and your staff were friendly and helpfull.

The staff were very friendly, and the room was clean and of a comfortable size. The breakfast selection was also quite good. It was great that it was within walking distance to TD Garden, and although I had to cross a bridge, I felt safe even when walking late at night.

Very cute hotel, good value for money.

This hotel is the best, the staff is extremely helpful, great rooms, really convenient for concerts and all the things happening around Fenway. The parking is a highway ripoff, but that's not a complaint of The Verb, it's just what the market is. But $73 to park a car for a night is ridiculous, There are garages for a fraction of that across the street.

Great personnel.  Friendly and very professional.  Room was awesome

Super unique experience exceeding our expectation. Everyone was super nice and accommodating, from check in to breakfast service. The music theme was well done, not cliche like Hard Rock. Got to borrow vinyls for the room which came equipped with record players. Would definitely stay here again.

Verb has its own bar, swimming pool and other facilities. It is comfortable and clean. The front desk staff is very friendly. The location is convenient and it is close to supermarkets such as Target and Star. I recommend this hotel.

Although the corridor is a bit narrow, the room is ok. I will consider staying here next time👍

The hotel itself was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the housekeeping staff was especially kind and attentive - we truly appreciated their work and hospitality. However, we experienced a serious issue regarding the resort fee policy, which left us feeling confused and misled as international guests. During online booking, the resort fee was listed as $25 per night, but important information...

Location was central to Newbury St, Copley Square and not too far away to Boston Commons. Rooms were decent but the windows did not do much to keep the noise out. So you would be hearing a lot of noise that may disrupt your sleep. Toilet were a bit small so we'd need to balance out toiletries across various ledges and railings. Also, the window of our room was broken so we couldn't lift the window...

A very nice, clean hotel. It's very centrally located, about a 10-minute walk from the public garden. Despite this central location, it's a very quiet area with beautiful houses and streets nearby. It can get a bit noisy downstairs in the evenings, as the hotel bar is quite popular (even with non-guests).

Conveniently located hotel located a few blocks from the commuter rail backbay station. Hotel staff were great and allowed us to check in early upon arrival and store our luggage at check out so we could further explore the city. The rooms are small, bedding is best for someone under 5’9, otherwise it was a great home base for a weekend trip to the city.

This is a lovely thoughtful hotel and very comfortable beds. Loads of funky or slightly different amenities....that do make your holiday feel special and help out a lot. Thank you for the great service and hope to stay again

Love it. I come here for Boston Marathon. It is so convenient that I walk like turtle after race and arrive the hotel within 15 minutes. I can rest and take a nap immediately after race.

The location is perfect next to Harvard it made visiting my daughter very convenient even in the snow! The staff was top-notch and the rooms weee were nicely maintained ... I enjoyed the complimentary hot tea and coffee located in the lobby, but wish they had partnerships with local restaurants to deliver to hotel (leaving menus in the room to highlight recommendations for guests).

I’ve stayed here many times and I think it’s the best value in the Square. Rooms are immaculate and well-maintained. Beds are comfortable. Bathrooms are tiny and lack any surface to put your toiletries on but they are clean and everything works. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a very pleasant lobby where you can sit and work or read. There is free coffee in the lobby. There are great places...

I really enjoyed the proximity to everything I needed. The customer service and ease of checking in and out is great. The rooms were very clean, they are smaller but fit what we needed. The room walls are thin, you can hear everything. However, I was ok with this as I wasn't in the room often.

Very well-designed hotel. My mattress was fabulously comfortable and I appreciated the adjustable desk chair. Each room has an iron, ironing board and hair dryer. And I appreciated the motion controlled night lights so guests do not trip when they get up in the middle of the night. There's free tea, coffee, and hot chocolate in the first floor snack area with other treats for sale. The second floor...

Stayed here one night as we were going to a concert and did not want to drive home after. This is a cute, basic hotel that is in an amazing location. You really don’t need much in the hotel as you are right in Harvard Square surrounded by food and a short train ride to everything. The train is less than a minute walk from the hotel door. There is parking on site for an extra fee. The room was small...

I arrived at the hotel at 8am, and they kindly accommodated my early check-in. There was a drink bar next to the check-in counter, so I was able to relax and have a cup of coffee while I waited. I would definitely use this service again the next time I visit Harvard.

I booked this hotel because it was in a convenient location for a Red Sox game and am so happy I did! In addition to the good location, many things exceeded my expectations here. Every single staff member that I interacted with was so friendly and helpful. Our room was extremely clean and the bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in at a hotel. The in-room amenities were nice too (fridge...

We loved this hotel .. It was comfortable, clean, beautiful, nice bathroom, even smelled great. Unfortunately our room was the first off of the lobby, and completely unsound proofed. Guests in the lobby, front desk chatter, doors opening, other guests TVs, conversations, we heard it all. This made the comfortable bed completely irrelevant. The staff was incredibly accommodating and did the best they...

Staff was very friendly and knew of great places to eat around the hotel. The park being the hotel was very nice as well

Has a trolley route running right in front of hotel, great for accessing the downtown, bad for sound-sensitive sleepers. Room had a microwave, great for heating up your burito bowl, or make yourself a cup of tea. Had a difficult time getting the water heater to the right temperature and doesnt maintain too. So its the typical freeze or burn situation every bathe time. Cleaniness by housekeeping...

Decent room with a microwave, mini fridge and free bottled water daily. Useful since the location is a distance away from any grocery store/ pharmacy, with limited food options. But the service we received was good, and it was convenient to take the trolley to sights along the same line like the Boston MFA and downtown.

Good and bad. Nice quality accommodations, nice customer service but oh, so noisy. Basically on a highway, cars zooming by all night can be heard even though windows closed and heating fan on. Snow with accumulation on our second night meant plows going by which basically means metal scraping the street, you can not believe how loud this is. Sounded like a plane landing on the roof before I realized...

I can’t wait to stay here. If the accommodation is even close to the kind of response of this and support that I received from staff, it will be well worth the money. Kiara, who is one of the staff, was immensely helpful in facilitating my cancelling my reservation and rescheduling. She actually reached out to me by phone to remind me to set a date in the future since I would be unable to make my...

My friends and I stayed here over the Fourth of July weekend and was first greeted by an AC leak in our unit. We tried to handle it ourselves but it got progressively worse with a very foul odor filling up our unit. Long story short, we went back and forth with customer service via text (limited holiday/weekend staffing) and they were unable to move our party to another unit due to no vacancy. We ended...

We had a very good experience here. The location is superb for Cambridge, our room was large and light--three windows--and quiet. The lack of daily bed-making/cleaning service did not bother us--gave us more freedom to come and go as we pleased. Bed was huge and comfortable, refrigerator and mini kitchen allowed us to eat breakfast in situ. The free nespresso coffee machine off the sitting room was...

This was a lovely place and centrally located to Cambridge. Easy to walk to metro stations and to places near Harvard. We were skeptical about an Air BNB without someone on site, but the host was in touch easily and quickly through text.

Very nice boutique hotel with unique flavor of New England. Convenient to every place. Warm reception.

A very pretty Inn, perfect location, great parking, wonderful breakfasts. However... I never truly felt welcome. Staff in general was just not very friendly.

What a lovely hotel. Front desk staff was friendly and attentive. Our room was meticulously clean. Excellent location. I like the smaller feel.

Super clean, wonderful concierges, great location! Small room but great for one night - will definitely be back!

Great location and room. Staff was extremely friendly. I wish the rooms had a full length mirror.

The room was nice. They upgraded us to a balcony room, which was extremely convenient. Heated floor in the bathroom was perfect on this cold day. The staff was helpful, convenient parking underground, no problem even though the valet was not on duty. Location ws very convenient to attend a concert in your by Davis Square and Friendly Toast is almost right across the street for amazing breakfast.

Staff was amazing at both check in and check out. They really stood out. Location was perfect; coffee was exceptional; room was so clean, too hot even after I turned the heat down but I should have turned it down more; lobby area was spacious and inviting. Thanks for a great stay!

This was such a good stay. Loved the people that worked there and all the amenities. Great spacious and clean room with a cute view of the street.

My partner and I are staying here for one week while visiting Boston. We have found all accommodations reasonably comfortable. Boston In let us check in early, which was great because we flew in on a red eye, and were very grateful to have a landing pad to settle down into after grabbing breakfast. It's located next to the Boston Commons, and an easy walk to the metro. We purchased a 7-day metro pass...

Amazing service looking forward to coming back

These suites are brilliantly located in the heart of Boston. Our 2 bed/2 bathroom suite was in need of some tender loving care (particularly in the bathrooms) and if you were tall then the bedrooms (basically a mezzanine level) would have been an issue. The other living areas were well proportioned. Would we stay again, yes as the price and location mainly made up for the need for a good smarten up

Great location, beautiful view. The 8 of us girls stayed at 113 Beacon for 4 days in the Penthouse. Great experience, clean rooms, modern decor, beautiful view. One negative side is elevator is very old and sometimes it doesnt work. My friend came a day later, she had to drag her luggage all the up to the 6th floor which is the top floor. Last day, we had to drag our luggages down, and it was very...

Apartments in great location. Rooms spacious, comfortable and very clean. 4 stars instead of 5 because the Wi-Fi is a bit weak and slow. Would recommend to others.
