Boston Harbor Hotel :: Boston, MA

The hotel WiFi stereotype says that the nicer the hotel the worse the wireless Internet situation, but that is not the case at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Not only can you get free, fast, four bar wireless access in any of the hotels common areas, but you can also access the web without jumping through hoops, checkboxes, and sign ups. This hotel is a WiFi throwback, just turn on your computer and you immediately gain access to the Boston Harbor Hotel free WiFi network and it is your set homepage that comes up--not some hotel intranet upsell portal. Sweet simplicity. Furthermore, on a nice day you can sit outside and watch the boats come into Boston Harbor, all while checking your email.

Best Part:
Boston Harbor Hotel is located directly on the harbor, between the new, stale, InterContinental Boston, where WiFi access will run you $15.00 for 24 hours, and the Long Wharf Marriott, where WiFi access will cost you $9.99. The ironic part? The Boston Harbor Hotel is hands down the best all around stay experience of the three, as well as the best place to enjoy free WiFi.
