Hotels near Boston Harbor Seaplane Base - BNH, Boston

Perfect location if you’re not renting a car, which is expensive and a hassle to park in Boston. It’s a very short walk to the Silver Line bus (free) to the Airport subway station, where you get to most anywhere in the city. You can also get off at the very next stop and transfer to the commuter rail to North Station or Salem and Gloucester. The area around the hotel looks rough, but I never felt threatened or uncomfortable, even when returning around midnight from a Red Sox game. The van service to and from the airport was great, also. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel restaurant and bar was still closed due to the pandemic, which is completely understandable. There is a Dunkin’ across the street for coffee and several other food options within walking distance. I am planning to return to Boston next summer with my grandchildren and this will be my first hotel option.

Our stay at the Crystal Cove Inn was nice. The office and check in staff were exceptional and went above and beyond to ensure that you had what you needed. The room we stayed in appeared to have been recently renovated and had a small full kitchen with granite counter top. The room although somewhat small was adequate and comfortable for two people. It had a nice harbor view. The grounds were well kept and the pool was nice to swim in. The inn is fairly close to the airport but the sound of the air conditioner masked most of the sound of the airplanes taking off and landing. That fact could be an issue in the fall when an air conditioner isn't needed or used. Overall I would recommend staying here. It's far away enough to find peace and tranquility but close enough to everything if you want something to do.

Highlights in Boston: Monica's Salumeria in the North End,for amazing sandwiches that are huge; Bovas Bakery- Also in the North End,and open 24 hours....My favorite place in Boston is definitely Fenway Park- being a sports fan in this city is incredible!! Quite walkable,and so much to see 💚 Mass transit is easily accessible.

Cambridge is beautiful, a fascinating place, but we were running around for several work events and didn't see much. VERY congested, so we relied on Lyfts to get around. But, so much to see, packed with beautiful historic architecture. Lots of trendy food places (often a little strange).

We didn't visit Chelsea during the day, just got some take out food one of the nights (there are options not too far from the hotel). For what we saw around the hotel, it didn't strike me as a particularly beautiful area, but it's a short drive to Boston, and very close to the airport (but we didn't hear any plane noise.) We didnt explore public transportation options to Boston, but my impession is that can be a hustle. However it'ss close to Boston, so if you have a car is a short drive and my guess is that a taxi or Uber should be affordable too.

Winthrop was a great town! We walked to the yacht clubs and Deer Island - enjoyed the beach front, picking up shells and clams, and the local restaurants had some pretty good food! Try D'Parma and Woody's! Bus transportation was great (except on Sunday) so we didn't need a rental to get anywhere we wanted.
