Boston hotel for little kids

[Anonymous]

Looking for recommendations for a hotel in Boston that is a good option for a little kids (4 and 1). We are going to visit friends - one lives north of the city and one lives south of the city. We were thinking either North End or towards Cambridge, Davis Square, etc.

Will you have a car? Are you driving to meet the friends or are they coming in to meet you?

There is a Residence Inn near the MIT campus in Cambridge that is comfortable and affordable. It is close to the Red Line as well.

will have car. likely a combo of friends coming to us and us going to them.

If looking for mid range Marriott Copley (recently renovated, fun elevator for kids, pool, nice lounge, awesome location) or a hotel along the waterfront so you can walk to aquarium to see the seals outside, walk the harborwalk, carousel etc.

Fairmont copley is also beautiful and has a resident dog, great location

Keep in mind parking at Boston hotels adds up quickly at $60 to $70 per night

I recently stayed at the Hyatt place in the seaport district and it would be great with kids. The rooms are huge, could walk to things and it was just convenient

The Fairmont Copley is wonderful. It’s a great location and the kids can walk the hotel dog.

We stayed at the Residence Inn Downtown/Seaport over the summer with the kids. It was suites with full kitchens. Excellent breakfast included in the mornings. It is right down the street from the Tea Party ships.

OP here. This ended up being one of our final options but we were hoping for a pool… the friends we are visiting don’t have kids and aren’t morning people so we were thinking an hour at the pool after breakfast will be a way to blow off some energy.

We ended up with the Kimpton which I’m not sure is a slam dunk and certainly wasn’t cheap but I was overwhelmed by all the options!

A hotel with a resident dog would be a major bonus for me 😁
