Great stay. Will definitely be back again. Breakfast was great and worth the additional cost. My husband said the room was what he thought living on a space station would be like. 😂 very modern, cool space.

The Revolution Hotel
The room a stay itself were wonderful. A 20 minute walk or quick train ride to any sight we wanted to see. Parking was limited to only the local garage, which had a discounted rate of $35/day through the hotel. Otherwise, the streets in the area were permit parking only.

Seaport Hotel Boston
Breakfast was nice but very expensive for what it was. Luckily, we had $ towards if from Expedia. We had a top room for a good price but there is no way those rooms are $300 plus per night. I've stayed in something pretty similar for $100..I suppose you're paying for the location and views.
