Inn at Crystal Cove - Winthrop

We had a nice view of Boston across the water. The neighborhood is quiet and there are several nice restaurants in easy walking distance.

A little down at the heels, but it seems to favor long and residential stays.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Cute place. Very friendly staff. Great recommendation for breakfast.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Inn is clean and comfortable in most respects but between the noise of the neighbors in the next rooms and the frequent airplanes taking off or landing I would be careful about choosing this place if a good night sleep is important. The place is also close to Chelsea, (our destination) but tricky to find since road signs are few and far between […] making it difficult to know if you are on the right track. It is a good deal for Boston, but be aware. Read more

Decent hotel with fairly recent renovation. Down side is that it's not near anything and drive in and out of the area a little confusing.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My stay was wonderful! The only thing I really would have liked was a room with a balcony to see the boats and water. Other than that, it was really a pleasant stay. I would suggest that the rooms have coffee pots and ice buckets, it's too much to deal with going downstairs to the kitchen. I plan on staying there for my next stay.

Nice people. Nice location.

We were in Boston for a convention. We booked 3 rooms for 3 nights and all of us were very pleased with the hotel. The rooms are small but very clean and nice. The view of the city was wonderful after a hard day. The corner cafe, High Tide, has a great breakfast for an extremely reasonable price. We also had a great dinner at Rosati's and a nice walk […] along the water on the return to the hotel. We all agree it was a great choice for our trip. Read more

This was a great place! Everything looked newly remodeled. The staff was great and went out of their way to help. Everything was super clean. There was an excellent view of the Harbor. They have a beautiful lawn and outdoor pool. I couldn't have asked for more! It is only a 15minute cab ride from Logan Airport.

This was a great place to stay. It was just far enough from Boston to get a nice "New-England" feel while being close enough to get into the city in about 10 minutes with convenient Public Transportation. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They explained how to easily take the bus (there is a stop right outside the hotel parking lot) to the […] train which takes you right down town. There is a beautiful view of the Harbor and you can see downtown Boston just across the water. The people in the surrounding town are all very pleasant and friendly. Read more

The Inn was great! It was only 15 minutes from Boston and 20 minutes from Salem. Cute little town and right next to Willys pizza (best pizza!). Would go back for sure!

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is a nice place to stay. It was a clean reasonably comfortable room and the staff was friendly. It was also a very good value. It is right under the flight line for Logan airport in Boston. I spent time in a couple of the rooms during my stay. One of the rooms had very little airpor noise the other had a lot.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice room, great local flavor and see salt smell, nicely redone bath, bed badly in need of new mattress, great Italian family restaurant down the block.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

THIS WAS A GREAT PLACE TO STAY FOR THE NIGHT AFTER AND BEFORE MY FLIGHTS IN AND OUT OF BOSTON. I HAD A RENTAL CAR OTHERWISE GETTING TO THE AIRPORT MIGHT BECOME A ISSUE NO SHUTTLE AND THE BUS IS A LITTLE WALK DOWN THE ROAD WHEN TAKING LUGGAGE. MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR A QUEEN BED OR YOU MIGHT GET A SINGLE AS I DID THE FIRST NIGHT. OTHER WISE IT WAS VERY […] NICE AND ALOT!!! CHEAPER THAN THE OTHER HOTEL BY THE AIR PORT WHICH ARE ALL WAY OVER PRICED FOR A OVER NIGHT STAY TO FLY. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We chose this hotel specifically because it was close to the airport. I was pleasantly surprised by the location. The views from the hotel are beautiful. Also, it's a quick walk around town and there's a great Italian restaurant nearby. The only negative is that the bed was really uncomfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Called to confirm late arrival was told there would be a night clerk. When I did arrive, no night clerk and my key in an envelope in the foyer (for anyone to retrieve) with my name and room number on it (safety concern). Rooms small but quaint. No extras for this hotel. No elevator so had to lug luggage up 3 flights of stairs in a tiny stairway. Perhaps […] good for in season travellers with families. Cute from the outside. Better service and pretending my business was important would have made a difference. Can't get over the envelope in the foyer. Read more

As other reviewers have mentioned, the walls are indeed quite thin. My neighbors were quiet so I wasn't really bothered by this but I'm sure it would have been a different story with a fussy toddler or deaf TV watcher in the next room. That plus no in-room coffee were my only causes for complaint. The room was quite clean with a small balcony and a […] nice view of the city skyline. There is a communal kitchen and a pay-per-use communal washer & dryer. City center is only about a fifteen-minute drive away. The town of Winthrop doesn't have much to recommend itself in terms of restaurants or activities but it does have a lot of beautiful bayfront property. All in all, not bad for the price. Read more

Nice little place, perfect for my one night stay. The staff was very accomidating..

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hubby and I needed a room for the night close to the airport. This worked great for that as it was just a quick drive and was fairly cheap. There were a couple good restaurants within walking distance and there was a pretty park and a beach nearby. Plus the view from the balcony was amazing. Also, there was a full kitchen available to use in the common […] area (not that we needed it for a one night stay, but it was neat to have it available). The room was clean. HOWEVER - the lobby smelled like rancid onions, the bed was WAY too soft and they turn the air off at night (it's central air for the whole building so you have no control over your room temp). It was a cool night so had there been windows in the room it would have been fine, but there was only the sliding door to the balcony available for airflow. We slept with the sliding door open so we could breathe. Read more

If you are looking for a "party area", this is NOT it! We loved the quiet streets and the beautiful view of the harbor and Bostone skyline from our balcony. We walked to the Hi Tide every morning for breakfast...great food! We drove into Boston the first day but took advantage of the ferry the second day...ferry schedule works into just about any agenda. […] The hotel was quiet and easy to access...we were on the 3rd floor and there's no elevator but they are easy flights of stairs. We can't wait to go back!!!! Read more

The Inn at Crystal Cove is snuggled in a beach community and has a pool. You get a great view of Boston Harbor and planes landing at Logan if you walk to the beach. There is a wonderful long walk out to Deer Island. Downside was no in-room coffee, no face cloths, room pretty small, staff not overly congenial or able to help with information.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The price was good for what we needed the hotel for. We needed the hotel due to a late flight and no other options were available. Staff worked with us to ensure we were not charged for a "no-show" due to the lateness of our flight. Twin double beds throughout hotel. Clean and tidy, however, detergent or something else the linens were cleaned in caused […] us to itch. Read more

Unless you happen to be a crow don't believe the distance from airport lists... It's over $20 by taxi. I found the place depressing and very lived in with paper thin walls and windows - and no facilities at all - not even an accessible vending machine. I've stayed in better motels for a third of the price. My room was right next to the main office […] and kind of charmless - bathroom clean and presentable but the beds seemed 40 years old. The wifi worked well after phoning the desk and complaining - but the office is closed after 10pm so anyone having problems after that will whistle Read more

Hotel was very nice. The view was of the harbor and the Boston skyline and it was great! Winthrop is a nice neighborhood. The room was clean,not too expensive and conservative. Just what we were looking for!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

we were very happy with our stay at the inn at christal cove. But to get to Boston you need a car to get to the Subway station. You can leave your car there for 5 USD and then it´s a short ride to Downtown. We had a nice roon at the bottom floor, with a queen and a twin bed, a full kitchen with big refrigerator and vieuw at pool and skyline. The only […] thing what bothered us a bit was the noice, not from the planes, but the walls are thin and at the botton floor is the allways closed door to go outside, and it bangs close very loud, and while we stayed someone got out and in every 30 minutes until late after midnight and we couldn´t sleep very well. We arrived an hour before check in time and got our room immediately and got the possibilty to check out at 1 p.m. so it was a very convenient stay. Read more

DISASTER!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I found this hotel very unique. It is situated in a little seaside town on the other side of the airport from Boston. There is a convenient bus that picks up and drops off right in front of the hotel that connects to the Blue line train. The hotel itself is lovely. Our room opened onto a common lounge and full-sized kitchen. Our room also had its own […] balcony with beautiful water and downtown Boston views.The room was clean and breezy. The only complaint is its location near the airport, which brings some airplane noise that seemed to stop around midnight. We didn't notice the noise at all when we slept, but we were quite tired. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. The unique seaside location seems a world away from city of Boston. It was a great way to finish off our vacation Read more

Inn at Crystal Cove offers a view right on the harbor looking at boston. The neighborhood was quiet and charming. The Inn offers ammenities your normal life requires such as 24 hour wash and dryer, iron and board, blowdryer, etc. Our building had a full kitchen at our disposal with a commons and out door balcony. The price was great for what you get. […] Everything was clean and they even turned our bed down. I have already recommended them to my family and friends who will be visiting the area. Read more

THE ONLY ISSUE IS THAT THE SHEETS ARE NOT DEEP POCKET AND THE MATTRESS IS SO THE SHEETS KEEP FALLING OFF BED WHICH MAKES IT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A quaint little place, more like a hostel. very small room communal kitchen. I only need the room for a few hours till my flight out in the morning. From what I could tell nice area with a great view of downtown from my window.

Upon arriving to the Inn at Crystal Cove, we walked through a group of people sitting in front of the office drinking and smoking cigars. Apparently there was a wedding party residing there. The woman at the front desk was pleasant but did not seem like she knew what she was doing 100%. We got our room key, went to our room to find 2 twin beds on opposite […] sides of the room and it was about 80+ degrees in the bedroom. We had booked a room with a queen bed or so we thought. There were no other rooms available and we then had to spend time finding another hotel which was A.) more expensive and B.) more driving after 3+ hours we drove to get there already. Really was NOT happy with this place at all. Read more

Hotel is old and badly in need of a makeover. Rooms were small, no fridge, tea or coffee making facilities. Hopeless for people travelling. Spa wasn't working, which was very disappointing as this was one of the reasons for choosing this place. I would go elsewhere in future.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were staying here during Hurricane sandy and the staff were very friendly and reassuring. The area is interesting with stunning views of Boston harbour from the hotel. The bus and train service into Boston were reliable taking about half an hour into the centre. We found lots of nice places to eat nearby with friendly staff.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is close to the airport without the airport being a nuisance. This is because there is an arm of Boston bay between the hotel's location Winthrop and logan Airport. The surroundings are friendly and nice, good views towards downtown Boston and still the ocean at hand. Ample restaurants and shops in the neigbourhood and a direct ferry into […] town. What more can one hand. Large rooms, good facilities Read more

Best place, if you are on a picnic or boating. One of the best priced Inns in that location. There was no breakfast, but a great breakfast place is just 3 minutes walk from there. Overall I had no complaints, since I was there only for 1 night. Staff are friendly and helpful when needed. I would book again, but this time, with a car rental too. (No […] frequent bus/ T to boston/cambridge city). Read more

This Inn is in a lovely location down by the waters edge on the eastern side of Boston. We were only staying the one night to catch the flight out of Boston International Airport early the next morning. The Inn is easy to find with a decent map or careful interpretation of something like Google Maps printed off (without diversons for road works) - although […] inevitably you're going straight through the centre of Boston - so not much room or time for adjustments. The Inn itself looks idealic - a true picture postcard which is its real strength - combined with the cleanliness of the room. The whole complex looked fresh and well kept. The room was sufficient for us but should be pointed out that for some it might be a bit on the small side, with just one queen bed and not a lot of additional space. Ours had a balcony with a sea view - stunning! The shared kitchen and living room was very well done - everything there that you'd need and more. Our only concern was that there wasn't a lot in the area - unless we missed it, be under no illusions that this area is on a peninsula wtih very limited local run down shops and local restaurants only - and even travelling some distance will only bring you a Burger King and DD to choose from. We might have missed something here - but perhaps not. We just weren't expecting it. Our 'cosy' room did the job, and on that basis I would recommend this Inn to others. Read more

Pleasantly surprised. Clean, simple and easy to find. Ideal for that first night after a long flight if you don't want the expense of an airport hotel or the hassle of driving into Boston.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were delighted with this hotel - good facilities, lovely view of Boston, good beach mile away, ferry to downtown Boston right across street much easier and cheaper than bus and train, nice swimming pool, excellent kitchen and shared lounge.

A very good place to visit Boston. Easy access by public transportation and the feeling of a seaside resort! The best of two worlds.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I reached the hotel quite late in saturday night, mainly because of an unpleasant taxi-driver who made me pay 26£ the trip from Logan airport (whereas it should have been rather 15£, the difference being due to a so-called "airport tax" as he kindly explained to me). But the ladies at reception were still there, very professional and helpful. The room […] was very nice, with a great view on the sea and its sailing boats, the hotel's swimming pool and the buildings of Boston in background, with a nice balcony too where to relax on comfy chairs. Everything clean, modern and yet relaxing like a holidays house in a small cost village. The most surprising though was the quiteness that i did not expect: this seems to be a big hotel with many people going in and out but still, i did not hear any noise, no planes either, the walls/windows must be well insulated. I recommand this hotel to anyone who has to stay around the Logan airport and wants to avoid the ugliness of airport's hotels and wants to meet some real locals (but be aware of certain taxi-drivers who can "tip themselves" like in certain poor countries).

Das Hotel ist wirklich sehr süß. Direkt am Meer, mit Blick auf den Hafen und die Skyline von Boston kann man wirklich nicht meckern. War halt nicht downtown Boston, der Weg dahin ist mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln (Bus, Metro) zwar gut zu bewältigen (Bus direkt vorm Haus, Metro aller 10min) - auf die Dauer von 2 oder 3 Tagen, wenn man eigentlich nur […] Boston sehen will, aber doch nervig.

Vill man sova någonstans så duger det gott. Vi var två tjejer som bodde där och det var varesig bu eller bä. En sak är att dom har dåliga "öppetider" när det gäller in och ut checkingen.
