Wander through America's oldest public park, Boston Common, where colonial history lurks beneath every footpath. The Freedom Trail connects 16 revolutionary sites with a simple red line - history made foolproof. Fenway Park remains gloriously unchanged, a baseball cathedral where fans worship the Green Monster wall with religious fervor. At Quincy Market, sample clam chowder while street performers work for your spare change. The North End's narrow streets hide Italian bakeries where cannoli wars have raged for generations. Harvard students cross the river to visit actual students, while the Museum of Fine Arts houses treasures that would make European museums jealous. Duck Tours convert ordinary buses into amphibious vehicles, allowing guides to make terrible water puns.

The Revolution Hotel

The Revolution Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great location in Boston's South End that's walking distance to many cafes and restaurants as well as easy access to public transit. I stayed in a Standard Queen with in-room bath on the mezzanine floor; the room was small, but comfortable and clean. There was minimal to no street noise, although on one of the nights, there was a private event at the bar attached to the hotel, and I could hear chatter from the lobby. There were water refill stations, a hot water dispenser, and microwave available in the common area for guest use, and the front desk staff offered to store refrigerated items. The vouchers for free coffee in the hotel cafe were a nice touch. Overall, I'd certainly stay here again the next time I'm visiting Boston."
