My husband and I stayed here Memorial Day weekend for a long weekend. The hotel is in a great location on the water right by the harbor.
We took a water taxi from the airport which was a lot of fun. The hotel has a dock right out back where you can request a water taxi to take you anywhere on the harbor.
We did not eat at any of the restaurants in the hotel but they did look rather classy, so bring something nice to wear. We walked across the bridge to the Barking Crab and had wonderful crab legs and lobster. We also had amazing cupcakes at Crumbs bakery just down the street.
The concierge was very helpful when we asked what was the best way to get to Harvard.
South Station is a 5 minute walk from the hotel which gives you access to the subway.
The nice thing about Boston is that it is small enough that you can really walk anywhere, and you want to because there is so much to see.
My only complaint about the hotel is the bed. It was horribly hard and fairly uncomfortable. For a high priced hotel like the InterContinental I expect a much better bed.
We did have a street view of the fire station but hardly ever heard the sirens, they rarely went off.
