Harborside Inn Boston
Pros:

Harborside Inn Boston:
We stayed in the Harborside Inn for 4 nights starting on May 10th. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was unusable and a disappointment, however. For $425.00 per night it was very small, maybe 12x12. There was no dresser with drawers but an open shelf holding a TV, DVD player, safe, and of all things a full size stereo receiver! The room had no coffee or microwave in the room. The attached restaurant service was good for 2 of the three days we ate breakfast there. The location is what we paid for. I would give it 2.5 stars.
