The Boston Marine Society hosted their 284th Annual Ladies Night Dinner last evening at the…read moreInterContinental Boston located at 510 Atlantic Avenue in the heart of downtown Boston, and the venue proved to be an exceptional setting for such a distinguished maritime tradition. From the moment the evening began, the staff demonstrated remarkable professionalism and coordination. The pacing of the service was especially impressive given the size of the event, with dishes delivered and cleared efficiently while still maintaining an elegant and relaxed atmosphere throughout the evening. Dinner began with a thoughtfully prepared first course featuring artisan lettuce, toasted cashews, dry-aged Vermont goat cheese, dried blueberries, yam frites, and a maple vinaigrette that balanced the dish beautifully. The entrée consisted of beef tenderloin paired with a scallop and lobster tail brochette, accompanied by a spring medley of fresh peas, haricots verts, fava beans, asparagus, and snow peas alongside a honey-ricotta potato terrine. The presentation was refined and visually striking, but more importantly, every element of the dish was executed exceptionally well. Dessert concluded the evening on a high note with chocolate Hampton fudge cake accompanied by honey gelato served in a chocolate shell. It was imaginative, elegant, and delivered the perfect finish to a memorable meal. Beyond the exceptional dining experience, the evening carried a strong sense of maritime tradition and history. Ceremonial elements including the Massachusetts Maritime Academy Honor Guard and the ringing of the Ship's Bell honoring members lost during the past year added dignity and meaning to the occasion, serving as a reminder of the deep heritage and fellowship that continues to define the Boston Marine Society after nearly three centuries. The evening was further elevated by live entertainment from GQ and the Lady, whose performance added warmth, energy, and sophistication to an already memorable occasion. Overall, it was a wonderful evening hosted at a truly outstanding venue in downtown Boston -- an experience that blended exceptional hospitality, refined dining, maritime tradition, and celebration into a night we will remember for years to come.

It's also walking distance from the train station, which was very convenient for us since we traveled in from New York by train. We were pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary upgrade to a suite, which was perfect for our family of four with two kids. The extra space made our stay much more comfortable. The club lounge was a highlight. The food was consistently fresh and plentiful, and the staff there were genuinely kind and attentive. Our kids especially loved making their hot chocolate every morning, and there was an Indian gentleman working there who was especially sweet--he always made sure they had marshmallows, which they looked forward to every day. I really wish I had remembered his name. We also did s'mores at the hotel, which was a fun and memorable experience for the kids. I wish we had time to use the pool, I kept hearing great things about it from other families. My only and biggest complaint was the beds and pillows. They were extremely soft, and unfortunately we all woke up with neck and back pain, including the kids. That was the one downside of an otherwise very comfortable stay. Overall, the rooms were kept very clean, the service was excellent, and the amenities were great. Despite the bedding issue, we would definitely stay here again.

The room felt outdated, with worn carpeting and tired furnishings in need of a refresh. Small conveniences were notably absent, there was no complimentary coffee, no in-room water, and the phone was non-functional, you have a coffee machine but no cups and just looks gross.For the price, guests would reasonably expect a higher standard of amenities and upkeep. We also stayed in a room where the balcony door would not close despite having someone "fix it", we heard every noise, honking horn that started at 6:30am. The manager did not offer us a discount and just said "we'll fix it for the next guest." Terrible experience

Turns out, it's about what you can expect from this type of chain: good service, very pleasant ambiance...and thoroughly mediocre, overpriced food. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it came directly from Sysco. Previously I had tried the "Legal Seafoods Clam Chowder" sold at Costco, and found it to be very so-so compared to the "Captain Parker's" version sold at Market Basket. I was hoping the in-restaurant version would be much better. Wrong. Probably the most appalling thing about the food here were the fries, which come with most of the dishes unless you specifically ask for a substitute. I was glad that I did, because when I tasted my friend's fries, they were just about the most dry, bland, doughy-like frozen fries you could imagine. Only thing you can do with fries like that is to oversalt the bejesus out of them, and drown them in ketchup. Best thing we (party of 4) had was the Steak Salad---but when the menu says "petit sirloin" you dang better believe they MEAN "petit," lol ... it was about 3-4 mouthfuls tops! Really more of an appetizer worth $15 at most, not the $28 normal entree pricing. Fish and chips were particularly dismal---the fish was tasteless, most likely frozen just like the horrible fries. I've had better fish and chips from humble diner type places like Mike's Roast Beef in Everett, for Chrissakes. Hell, even Friendly's Fish and Chips doesn't seem that bad in comparison, lol. Swordfish and trout were somewhat less bad, but also suffered from the avalanche of cardboard fries. Anyways, now I know: I wasn't missing anything all these years.

First, the original bus broke down before we even left. Cool, things happen. But the "replacement" bus that showed up looked like it had been dragged out of a junkyard and sprayed with Eau de Mold. It smelled like sadness, rode like a rollercoaster built by drunk engineers, and was so filthy I started questioning whether my tetanus shot was up to date. We arrived 1.5 hours late, which honestly felt like the ultimate wellness challenge -- every extra minute on that bus was another year shaved off my immune system. By the time we got to NY, I was half-expecting to find CDC workers in hazmat suits waiting at the terminal. Oh, and when unloading bags, mine got tossed around like it was competing in the shot put. Customer service told me "too bad, you didn't buy a refundable ticket." As if "refundable" is code for "the bus won't be a rolling biohazard, tardiness, and bum bruises from the bumpy ride!!" Zero out of five stars. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy, but maybe to someone I secretly hate

It's incredibly frustrating that they submit checks after the due date, even though you mail them beforehand, and then you have to keep calling to waive the fees, which they won't. They have multiple stores like TJX, Marshalls, and HomeGoods all over the country, but you cannot go in and pay like you can at Macy's or other major retailers. This is so surprising and inconvenient for their customers. I'm complaining about TJX charging interest and other fees even though I pay on time, and as a customer, I have to keep calling to waive them, which they still haven't. This is robbery.
