Frommer's Review

Under the same management as the Newbury Guest House in the Back Bay, the Harborside Inn offers a similar combination of location and (for this neighborhood) value. The renovated 1858 warehouse is across the street from Faneuil Hall Marketplace, and a short walk from the Financial District. The nicely appointed guest rooms, which have queen-size beds and hardwood floors, underwent significant renovations in 2007. The inn updated its pleasant but somewhat bland style and adopted a maritime theme that nicely matches its location, less than 2 blocks from the harbor. Rooms surround a sky-lit atrium; those with city views are more expensive but can be noisier (though that's less of a problem now that so much traffic is underground). Still, they're preferable to the interior rooms, whose windows open only to the atrium. Rooms on the top floors of the eight-story building have lower ceilings but better views.
