Recommended Hotel: Residence Inn
Why: Suites Available, Indoor Pool, Free Breakfast

There are two good hotels in the Chelsea area of Boston: the DoubleTree and the Residence Inn. We recommend the Residence Inn because the hotel offers both free breakfast and free parking. The DoubleTree was recently renovated in 2017 as it turned over from a Wyndam to a DoubleTree. Both hotels have a gym, indoor pool, free wireless internet, and a restaurant on-site.  Guests complimented the family-friendly atmosphere, spacious suites, and great staff at the Residence Inn. This hotel also received many comments for cleanliness. We recommend the Residence Inn to families, large groups, or those planning an extended stay in the Boston area. None the less, make sure to check rates for both hotels, you can’t wrong with either.

About the Chelsea, MA Neighborhood

Who is best for this location?

Families like this area for easy access to the airport and to downtown Boston while still staying in a quiet neighborhood.

Chelsea is a tiny suburb of Boston known for it’s large, active seaport. It’s a working class neighborhood where people still hang out at the corner store. It’s a quick jump to downtown Boston or Cambridge on the MBTA.

Chelsea is full of casual, family-friendly eateries. For breakfast, the best spot is Savino’s Subs, which (despite the name) is known for awesome pancakes. Ciao! Pizza and Pasta lives up to its name and serves authentic Neapolitan-style pizza and hearty pastas. Not far away, Curly’s Restaurant is the place to go for Mexican food in Chelsea.

The parks along the Mystic River are great for running or watching your kids on the playground. Cronin Skating Rink is a fun place to bring the whole family to try ice skating or watch a hockey game.
