Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and a few challenges. The rooms, although clean and spacious, were unfortunately located next to noisy areas, but the bathroom was lovely with great amenities. The service was superb, with helpful staff providing valuable information about the city. The location was excellent for sightseeing and business, close to major attractions. However, the dining options were not up to the standard I expected from this type of hotel.
My stay at Intercontinental Boston was truly delightful. The room was quiet, offering a wonderful view of the harbor. The service was top-notch, with a very nice and helpful staff. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to various attractions. The dining experience was good, with included breakfast options. Overall, a great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was amazing, just wish we could have stayed longer as originally planned. The room was spacious and clean with a lovely view, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we've ever slept in. The service was friendly and the staff went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. The location was great with lots of fun places to explore nearby. The dining experience was good, with a self-serve buffet offering a variety of options. Overall, a fantastic experience with a few minor drawbacks in pricing and breakfast offerings.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and luxurious with spectacular views of the river, and the location near the Harbour was perfect. However, the dining options were not up to standard, and the service could be improved.
The hotel felt like a mid-tier Marriott, very clean with no scuffs or scratches on furniture. The service was top-notch, with super friendly and attentive staff showing great attention to detail. The location was absolutely perfect, central and easy to access various areas, but dealing with the underground garage could be tricky. The dining experience was a mix, with one restaurant presenting direly but another being excellent and plentiful. Overall, a comfortable and luxurious stay.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with large showers and baths, quality linens, and usually ensures a good, quiet sleep. However, my room was not ready due to a delayed check-out by the previous guest. The spa services were a highlight of the stay.
I had a lovely stay at the Intercontinental. The hotel offered fantastic views from the room, with spacious accommodations and a luxurious bathroom. The location was perfect, close to museums and the harbor, though a bit distant from downtown attractions. The service was exceptional, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. The dining experience at Miel was pleasant, though the menu lacked variety for longer stays. Overall, a great choice for a comfortable stay in Boston.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The room was spacious with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and a good selection of breakfast food. It offered excellent value for money considering the high prices in Boston, but it was not ready at check-in despite requesting early check-in. The service was top-notch, with staff ready to meet the cab, providing brilliant assistance, and being gracious and accommodating. The location was beautiful right on the Harbor, near the airport, city attractions, and with a nice boardwalk. The dining experience was better than expected, offering an excellent atmosphere around the foyer. Overall, a great choice in Boston.
