Inn at Crystal Cove

Happy Little Hide Away

The Inn at Crystal Cove is spitting distance from Logan Airport in the small town of Winthrop . . . a nice alternative to the pricey chaos of Boston and airport hotels. Within walking distance of small, homey restaurants and a really nice staff. The rooms weren't just clean but pretty and comfortable with a pretty view of the Boston Skyline . . . also, there's a great cab company, Viking Cab, just down the street who provide a great, flat rate service.

European Experience in America

In Ireland we enjoyed the bed and breakfast experience far more than corporate hotels we stayed in. The Inn at Crystal Cove is about 10 minutes out of the way because you have to take back streets to get there, but the view is utterly fantastic and it feels like a European Bed and Breakfast place (of course, it has a kitchen instead of providing breakfast) but it is still an amazing experience. The almost complete lack of corporate logos everywhere in Winthrop was also extremely refreshing.

Great Room for the money

I was very pleased with the room and facilities and had no problems with the service, plumbing, cleanliness, or comfort of the inn. The bus system to the T station is a little hard to figure out, so the inn is probably more suited to guests with cars. Still, I was able to get in and out of Boston for the three days surrounding the Boston Marathon without too much difficulty.

Good price, good service

We often have to travel with our dog so it was great to find a place so close to where we needed to be that allowed dogs and was not over priced. The room was clean and comfortable and the neighborhood was beautiful!

Nice hotel near water

Across the street from the harbor, nice walk around the harbor and out onto a short pier, watching boats in the water and planes gliding into Logan Airport. Spacious kitchen and living room outside my door that is shared by three rooms. Soft bed.

Poor Room Location

The hotel is undergoing construction, and on a night where there were other rooms that were obviously vacant, me, my wife and child were placed in a room directly next to the area being renovated. The room we were given also looked as though it was undergoing renovations, as there were walls where sheetrock had clearly been hung recently, and sliding doors that were not on track and didn't have hardware, etc. The beds were awful in that the mattresses were extemely worn and creaked loudly at any movement. At check out time there was no attendant and no key drop, so I had to leave the keys on the doorhandle to the office. I will NEVER stay there again, far too much money for such shabby accomodations.

Avoid at all cost - Zero Stars

This hotel should be removed from Hotels.com stock. Tiny cramped room (bed wedged against bathroom door) adjoining the reception area; where we had to listen to the conversations of the staff. Paper thin walls and ceiling (could hear conversations upstairs and the showers felt like they were running down our wall). Cold showers; twice 5pm and 4:30am. Evasive staff (no one could be raised at 4:30am regarding the cold water). Planes overhead. Middle of nowhere. Worse than a back packers.

recommend it highly - great value

great view and beautifully maintained - charming

Waterfront hotel with easy access to Boston

Indepedent hotel in Winthrop with a nice view of the Boston skyline across the harbor. Our room in a recently renovated building had a kithenette and was clean and comfortable, if small. The T (subway) station is minutes away; the ride into the city at non-peak times is short. Reasonable rate and good value for the Boston area.

Lower your expectations

This hotel looks like it has been around a long time. The area is charming, but the hotel itself, while clean and updated, lacks elevators or even air conditioning. The desk is not 24 hours. We chose it because it is close to Logan Airport and we had crack-of-dawn flights. The arrangement is, well, unusual in that there is a communal kitchen area. It looked like some guests were staying more as boarders than hotel overnight guests. Maybe the surprise of unexpected configuration was the main problem. I have stayed in worse! It might be miserable on a hot Summer day.
