Hotels near Boston Harbor Seaplane Base - BNH, Boston

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.

Stayed in Cambridge to attend a graduation at Boston University. We were just close enough for it to be a very short drive, but did not have to immediately deal with school traffic. There were many stores and restaurants nearby, with good access to major roads to simplify travel.

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.

First time in Boston and was impressed. Very walkable city, a calm and peaceful vibe, not the crazy rush of NY for example. Very nice architecture, with red brick buildings, great parks and shopping, all very close to each other. Boston College was impressive architectural wise, loved strolling through Boston Commons, the Public Garden, Beacon Hill and Newberry Street. Since we were there in winter, would definitely come back to see it in the summer.

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.

Cambridge is a great place for sightseeing and history. My son graduated from Harvard University and the city has rich spots for viewing in conjunction with the university. The Coop has all of the Harvard gear and gifts to take back to family, as well as the Harvard Store. We ate at Tatte, a nice breakfast and coffee restaurant. Uber is easy as well as short walks around the squares. Cambridge is a beautiful city and I can't wait to visit again.
