Constitution Inn

Constitution Inn is a hotel at 150 Third Avenue in Charlestown, set on the grounds of the Charlestown Navy Yard, across the harbor from downtown Boston. The USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat, and its museum are a short walk away, the Bunker Hill Monument is about fifteen minutes on foot, and the Boston ferry from Navy Yard connects to Long Wharf in minutes. The Community College and Sullivan Square MBTA stations are within reach, and Boston Logan International Airport is a short drive. The property is oriented toward military and civilian visitors alike and has a quiet, residential neighborhood feel quite different from downtown hotels. Rooms and suites are simple and functional, and rates typically run from about $150 to $300 per night, lower than most central Boston options. Breakfast is available, and a pool, a fitness center, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi are provided, features that appeal to families and longer stays. Dining nearby includes casual restaurants along Main Street and in the Navy Yard, with more choices a ferry ride away. The location suits travelers interested in the Freedom Trail's northern end, American Revolution history and harbor walks along the Charlestown waterfront. Service is friendly and practical rather than formal. The tradeoff is distance from the central tourist districts, which makes ferry or transit planning necessary for evenings out downtown. Visitors to Boston, Massachusetts who want a quieter, historically rich setting, with good value and amenities such as a pool, will find the inn a pleasant alternative to the busy city core.
