Top Watertown Hotel Reviews

Omni Parker House

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay - wonderful location and very comfortable room and place all togther."

Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location and close to everything in the downtown and seaport area. Very clean, quiet and loved the eco friendliness. They offer complimentary coffee, water and seltzer in the lobby which is a great little touch. My husband and I loved our stay at the Club Quarters - would stay there again!"

Seaport Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place near port"

The Inn on Arsenal

8/10 Good

"Easy check in and out. Front desk staff is nice. If cleaning crews can pay a little bit more attention that will be helpful. 3 guests shared 2 set towels, towel bar was broken and hair on bed sheets are not professional cleaning."

The Midtown Hotel MOD Collection by Sonesta

8/10 Good

"Location was great for Northeastern move-in. Woman at the front desk in the evening was very nice and helpful. Parking was very convenient, but typical high Boston price. Hard to get to a slow elevator - up or down a flight of steps. So not good at all for persons with mobility issues. The vinyl flooring in the halls were a mess and were not comfortable to have as flooring in the bedrooms. I would stay here again for the convenience and price."

The Dagny Boston

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay at The Dagny Boston. The location is ideal — walking distance to most of the major tourist attractions, but tucked away enough that you don’t deal with the noise and crowds. It felt like the perfect home base for exploring the city. The staff made the stay even better. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the concierge went above and beyond — securing us a last-minute dinner reservation and offering great recommendations throughout our stay that we wouldn’t have found on our own. We were also impressed after checkout: we’d left an item behind, and the staff tracked it down in lost & found and arranged to have it shipped to us without any hassle. As a nice bonus, the fitness room was spacious and well-equipped, which made it easy to keep up a workout routine while traveling. One thing to watch for: there’s a $35 “Urban Destination Fee” added to your bill at checkout, which wasn’t clearly disclosed upfront. Worth budgeting for so it doesn’t catch you off guard. Overall, a great combination of location and service — just go in knowing about the extra fee. We’d happily stay here again."
