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.
Lonely Planet "Ensconced in a respectfully renovated 19th-century warehouse, this waterfront hostelry strikes just the right balance between historic digs and modern conveniences." Full review

Rough Guide "This small hotel is housed in a renovated 1890s mercantile warehouse across from Quincy Market."
Star Service "This tiny, briny inn is an easy-on-the-wallet boutique operation that appeals to families in search of something out of the box." Full review
Gayot "Formerly a warehouse when it was built in 1846, this eight-story building has since been renovated to accommodate a modern 116-room hotel."

Frommer's "This plush boutique hotel is the finest property in this evolving neighborhood, which grows more pleasant by the day but is a zoo before and after big events at the nearby TD Garden." Full review

"On a barren street in the desolate West End, the once-stylish Onyx Hotel is affordable and convenient." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Tucked away on a side street in the downtown area, the Onyx is a Kimpton Group boutique hotel located within 1.5 miles of city highlights like Faneuil Hall, Bunker Hill, and TD Garden." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This sleekly contemporary boutique hotel features modest-sized rooms decorated in a warm palette of black, taupe, and Chinese-lacquer red."
Rough Guide "The stark, glass-panelled front of this small luxury hotel belies an opulent interior."

Avoid the “Britney Spears” room – designed by her mother, it looks as you would expect the singer’s childhood room to look, complete with pink bible and fairy statuettes.
Star Service "This bonny boutique-hotel has a long list of added perks that come standard at Kimpton hotels (including nightly wine and cheese hour)." Full review
Gayot "This swanky member of the Kimpton hotel group enjoys a great downtown location for sightseeing by foot."
BlackBook "This modish boutique hotel attracts travelers (and their pets) who appreciate the finer things."

""Fantastic" and "very friendly" service stands out at this Kimpton brand property, which boasts an "excellent" Ruby Room lounge and "funky" interior swathed in red, black and white."
Lonely Planet "Done up in jewel tones and contemporary furniture, the Onyx exudes warmth and style – two elements that do not always go hand in hand." Full review
