Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable. Valet staff was great. Front desk staff was friendly but failed to mention there were two separate parts of the hotel and were accessed by different elevators. We went to the correct floor only to find our room didn’t exist. We went back to the lobby and realized we were on the opposite side of the hotel. No big deal, but thought it was an important piece of information to be left out."

The Godfrey Hotel Boston

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so helpful whether with rides, directions when walking , places to eat or anything you need. This hotel is in the center of everything. No matter where you want to go you are minutes away. You can walk, take the train or grab a cab. There is a nice coffee shop for breakfast and a snack later."

Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Four Points Sheraton Newton was very pleasant, and we have stayed here several times in the past. The room was very adequate, the bed large and comfortable, and the location suited our local travel needs (family functions.) It was also literally atop the Mass Pike, so access to the airport was ideal. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the adjoining restaurant (Social) was excellent: the staff, drink and food choices were great and prices reasonable. One glitch was the inoperative garage elevator, a moderate nuisance. We’d definitely stay here again!"
