Family-Friendly Hotels in Boston 🏨👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

I recently stayed in Boston for five nights and tried two places—one not recommended, one highly recommended! 🚫 Not Recommended: Hyatt Regency Cambridge (north of the Charles River) Thought it would be close to Harvard Art Museums? Actually a 45-minute walk 🚶‍♀️ "River view balcony room" felt outdated → old carpet, musty smell 🧹 $300/night for that? Not worth it! ✅ Highly Recommended: Sonder Pierce Boston Apartments (Fenway) 🏙️ Recently joined Marriott (booked via Marriott, but check Sonder’s site for better deals!) Spacious suite ($800 for 3 nights – great value for Boston!) Full kitchen 🍳, kettle, pots/pans, washer/dryer, large bathroom 18th-floor lounge + gym 🏋️‍♀️💦 (with eco-friendly water filter) Walking distance to: Restaurants 🍽️, supermarkets 🛒 Museum of Fine Arts + Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum 🖼️ Fenway Park ( lively even at 10 PM!) ⚾ 1-hour walk to Harvard/MIT → or $10 rideshare 🚗 / Blue Bikes 🚲 Near parks + Charles River – perfect for evening walks or cycling! 🌳🚴 ⚠️ Things to Note: 1️⃣ Upload ID/passport online pre-check-in 2️⃣ Check-in: 4 PM | Check-out: 11 AM | Luggage storage until 6 PM 3️⃣ Use key fob to lock doors (easy to forget!) 4️⃣ No daily cleaning – DIY trash/towels 🧼 5️⃣ Fabric couch looked worn (bring a sheet if sensitive) 🛋️ 6️⃣ Basic bedding/towels (Hyatt’s only win 😅) 7️ Strong-smelling laundry detergent – bring your own! 🧴 🌟 Verdict: Perfect for families/long stays! Despite minor flaws, highly recommended for the price! #Boston #BostonHotels
