The Constitution Inn

For the money, it was ok

I liked the location in the Naval Yard, and to get downtown Boston it is only about a mile walk across a pedestrian-friendly bridge, and an Uber from downtown is only about $7. Compared to the cost of other downtown hotels, being around $400 per night, the Constitution Inn was the best I could find for not wanting to pay that much and for a close proximity. I would not recommend this hotel if staying longer than a few days, or if you are looking for something with ambiance. Best if traveling alone, too. Based on the rooms (cement brick walls, etc...) it looks like the facility used to be some sort of public housing. The area around it is charming. Again, for the price and being so close to downtown, I think it was a decent stay.

Nice location but not clean. May be good for colle

It was located right where we wanted to be and there is a YMCA in the same building. So access to a nice exercise facility and walking distance to the Constitution ship yard and the docks on the water front in Charelstown, MA.

The bathroom was very dirty. Hairs from previous guests were everywhere. The comforters on the beds were stained. We were only given two bath towels and when we called for more we had to go down to the front desk to get them.

Helpful, friendly staff.

Lack of overhead lights in room. My first room, 613, looked out over the freeway and was noisy, also machine room. I was then moved to 620 which was much better. Shower controls took some getting used to.

We had a large clean room, complete with fridge and coffee maker. The hotel has a large gym and pool. Although there is no restaurant for breakfast or dinner, there are a couple of good restaurants and cafes locally. The hotel is situated within the historic shipyard area, close to the 'iron sides' warship USS Constitution and is just a 20 minute walk from the city centre or you can use the boat or bus service.

I found it odd that the hotel is actually a YMCA yet conceals this fact on the website, since this should not put anybody off - it operates as an ordinary hotel with normal guests as far as I saw, though with far better sports facilities than any hotel I've previously stayed at!

Room, good size and confortable.

The location was good for the money spent. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was suited for our purpose.

For the amount of money we spent on the hotel we can't really complain about anything. The hotel is good for sleeping, that's about it.

closeness to family

no

Good hotel and good wireless internet access

Bit far from the city than I thought it would be.
