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.

outstanding hotel

Great Location friendly service clean room only negative is A/C or lack there of

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.

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.

Very Nice!!!!

I found this gem after being priced out of hotels in the center of Boston. The reviews were good and I had a wonderful stay. The room was immaculate and I was able to make coffee in the common kitchen area in the am. The hotel is in a wonderful community (Winthrop) and it was a pleasant diversion to walk around the surroundings and enjoy the sea air and unique architecture of the homes. There are a couple of really good restaurants within a 5 minute walk from the inn. The bus stop is right outside the inn and is less then a 10 minute ride to the train-which is also less then 10 minutes to the center! I would stay there again without hesitation!

Great refuge from the Boston Marathon madness

We wanted a place with a reasonable rate to escape the scalpers downtown Boston. Our who daughter ran in the marathon needed time off the night before. So we needed a place for ourselves, to ourselves and we found it at the Inn at Crystal Cove. This place is more like a bed and breakfast in that there are kitchen facilities on the second floor while we stayed on the third. The view was beautiful. The town is so quiet and restful. The food in the nearby restaurants excellent. Try Alia's on Shirley Street for a Sunday night 3 course Italian meal. The price is worth it. All we needed was the Primi first course and we took a bag home for the refrigerator. People are friendly, pleasant, take the time to talk to you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
