Concierge "The Harborside's location, near Faneuil Hall Marketplace and right alongside the Rose Kennedy Greenway, sounds expensive, but it's actually an affordable alternative."
Fodor's "With rates that are considerably lower than most Waterfront hotels... this hotel with an understated charm is an exceptional value." Full review

For a great view, request a room overlooking the city; for a quieter stay, book a room that faces the interior atrium.
