“Loved the location”

Seaport Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Dublin, Ireland
Aug 29, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Seaport Hotel for 10 days in early August. We had booked one room with two queen beds but on arrival we asked to upgrade to a suite. For not very much more money we got a great suite on the 17th floor with two rooms - much easier for us with two kids aged 9 and 11. They had the pull out sofa in the living room and we had the king size bed in the main bedroom. The view really appealed to our 9 year old son - he could watch the boats in the harbour while also watching the planes land at Logan. We had taken a water taxi from Logan Airport to the hotel - $10 one way trip per adult. Great way to arrive at the hotel - the kids loved it.

The hotel was excellent - most accommodating to any requests we had. The staff were extremely friendly - breakfast in the hotel was excellent - a good buffet but the coffee bar was also very handy if you didn't want a full breakfast every morning. Hotel pool was small but extremely clean as were the changing rooms. Computer with full internet access in the room was great.

We found the location excellent - close to the Children's Museum - which was good - although really for younger children (under 7's). Our kids enjoyed the Science Museum much more. It was an easy walk to the New England Aquarium/Fanueil Hall. The new Contemporary Art Museum - just across the road from the hotel is worth a visit - the food in the museum cafe also worth sampling.

Across the road from the hotel is No Name Restaurant - worth a visit - lobster and all kinds of other fresh fish at incredibly reasonable prices. The interior and furnishings are basic but service is super friendly and the food is super fresh if simply served. Legal Test Kitchen - a block away from the hotel - is also excellent - loud music and particularly busy on Friday/Saturday nights but kids enjoyed the atmosphere and food was very good.

However, for a real treat - Morton's - just across the road from the Seaport was superb. Incredible service, superb food - great cocktails - expensive but definitely worth it. Overall we found the Seaport a great base for our holiday - we purchased a 7 day travel pass for the T - and used the trains numerous times every day. The nearest T station is 2 minutes from the hotel. Couldn't believe how cheap public transport is - $30 for two people for 7 days - kids 11 and under free.

Also purchased the Boston City Pass - certainly worth purchasing - you get discounted entry into Harvard Museum of Natural History, Skywalk Observatory, Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Science, New England Aquarium and JFK Museum - we visited them all and throughly enjoyed everyone of them. Also, make sure you take a Boston Duck Tour. We went whale watching also - which was the highlight of our trip to Boston - don't visit during April to October and not do it. We saw 22 whales and took the most incredible photos. Finally. when staying in the Seaport - they offer a complimentary harbour cruise at 10am on a Sunday morning - book early as places are limited but it is an enjoyable hour cruise of the harbour with great commentary.

“Don't stay at the Seaport Hotel - OVERRATED”

Seaport Hotel

Aug 19, 2008
0/2 found this review helpful

The overall visit and experience was terrible from the start. Valet parking wouldn't let us park had to find parking lot and then spoke to other people attending same event and half got to valet and half had to park themselves in a garage that is part of the hotel but you still are reguired to pay for even if your staying overnight at the hotel. Checking in was a nightmare. Waited 20 minutes to check in. Rooms air conditioner unit was not working. Staff was not helpful in giving us directions to function rooms and the food at the event (wedding) was Horrible.. I wrote letter to let the G.M. know about our stay and he wrote back that no one else has complained and he would investigate it. I don't care if no one else complained and I didn't ask for an investigation, I thought he would care to know about how is hotel looked to paying customers. No wonder the hotel was awful if that is how the G.M. is rude.

“Seaport fun”

Seaport Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Athens, GA
Aug 18, 2008

We stayed at the Seaport for four days. The hotel was beautiful and we were immediately upgraded to a suite. Our room had a flat screen and a computer - how great! The staff were friendly but not outgoing, you had to really approach them. The location was a bit far from other hotels, but within walking distance of the Children's Museum and the Aquarium. We took the water taxi and it was awesome.

I don't know about the food there, we found the dining in the hotel to be overpriced and too upscale but there were several options within a block.

We loved our stay at the hotel and had no problems. it was really fun. On checkin our kids were allowed to chose a toy from a treasure chest. They loved that!

We would go again for sure.

“Stay at Seaport”

Seaport Hotel

2 of 5 stars
Delmonico

1/1 found this review helpful

I was at first very excited about my stay at the Seaport Hotel, hoping it would be excellent. My first problem was stained sheets. I told my husband they looked as if they had been laundered, but the BROWN stain made me have doubts. The plug in the tub did not work properly, so no bubble bath. The AC in the room did not work well. Although the temperature read as if it were ok, it was very hot and I had trouble sleeping. This discussion came up from another person that I met while at a seminar there. They said the same thing about their room and suggested that I turn the fan on to run all night. This did help. The next night, I ordered a bottle of wine through room service. The cost was to be $28 plus taxes and delivery fee. I was charged $45. I called room service to go over the problem and got no resolution. I had to take the bottle downstairs along with the price list that was in the room. I did get partial credit but not a full credit. WHY? Is it really that hard to calculate? Charge what you post and don't false advertise. I called twice before arriving to double check that the room charge would be put on the corporate card and was told both times, yes, it would. Didn't happen, I had to use my personal card and get reimbursed from my company. The only thing that I enjoyed about my stay was the food. The food was excellent and maybe the best breakfast I ever had in my life. I will say that I did request that maintenance fix the plug in the tub. They did, and I was able to take a bath my second night there.

“Wonderful little hotel”

Seaport Hotel

4 of 5 stars
San Francisco
Jul 6, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

We were in Boston for a meeting and decided to try something different from the usual big chains (Marriott, Westin, etc.), and were very pleasantly surprised by the Seaport. Great service, very comfortable beds, quiet, easy access to the convention center by a walkway, and just down the block from a terrific restaurant called Salvatore's. The T is just outside the hotel, making travel into the city very easy. We really appreciated the in-room fridge; exercise room and pool were really nice but didn't allow kids<16 (a real bummer since our daughter is an athlete and was counting on continuing her training during the vacation). Minor downsides: in-room coffee was awful, telephone receptionists were less than enthusiastic.
