We stayed at the Bristol Harbor Inn for a wedding and unfortunately were pretty disappointed, especially for the $520 we paid for one night. We were coming from California on a red-eye into Boston the morning of the wedding and called several times beforehand about an early check-in. We completely understood it couldn’t be guaranteed and were told to check again the day of. We arrived around 11AM and were told nothing was available. After literally napping in our car, we tried again around 1PM because the ceremony was at 2PM nearby. We explained the situation and were still told 2:30PM was the absolute earliest. Unfortunately, we ended up missing the ceremony entirely. What bothered me most wasn’t simply that an early check-in couldn’t be guaranteed. It was how little effort or hospitality we felt from the front desk throughout the experience. The staff were not particularly friendly or accommodating, there was no assistance with luggage, and once we finally got into the room, it appeared as though it had been ready for some time. For over $500 for one night at a fairly mediocre hotel, I expected a much warmer experience. We tried to plan ahead, communicated our situation multiple times, and ultimately missed the wedding ceremony we had traveled across the country to attend. I unfortunately would not stay here again.
