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."

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

Ask for a room at the back of the property (numbers that end in "01" and "02") if street noise is a concern.
