I've been to the Encore in Vegas. But haven't been to the one in Boston. So I had to visit this place during my business trip. Now ... when I walk into casinos, I expect to smell smoke / cigars and drink rowdy folks. NOT THIS PLACE!! This place is rich. You walk into here, and you smell the pure fresh oxygen and you just feel like you're the king. Pure opulence. Beautiful place. No smoking! Plenty of places to gamble. High stakes poker upstairs where folks are dialed in and not even drinking. You CANNOT bring luggage and backpacks into the casino. The front check in will hold for you though ($5) if you aren't a guest. Also the slot machines take cash so you cannot use your credit or debit card. This place is just rich rich rich. It was a totally different atmosphere compared to the one in Vegas. It's more ... quiet and relaxing compared to the chaos and loud noise in Vegas. Also, breathing was great too since no smoking. read more

Beautiful casino in Boston. The encore is a sight for sure. The beautiful flower arrangements are worth the journey. Complimentary cocktails are NOT weak, so beware! Lovely casino with tons of games, both slots and tables. Many nice restaurants to choose from. You don't have to gamble to enjoy. Highly recommend a visit to see how pretty it is, read more

Never going again. They jacked up the roulette minimums , no singles and change the minimums while you are in the middle of playing. I expect to loose id just like it to take a while. They just want to get you in, fleece you and get you outa there as quickly as possible . read more

Hotel Manager Jared calls me 10 days after my stay at Encore Boston to let me know after check out there was a stain found inside the closet, resulting in carpet having to be fully replaced and I was being charged $450. I was in my hotel room for a few hours just to sleep, never had any type of drinks in my room, and never even opened the closet door. Also never received a curiosity call when said stain was found, just 10 days after the fact to tell me I was being charged $450. I drove down to Encore to spoke to Jared in person. Jared kept referencing this multiple step process that goes through multiple departments whenever there is room damage, but couldn't provide me any paperwork or ANY time of evidence to back this claim. After 30 mins of back and forth, being told I absolutely caused damage to the carpet, Jared reaching out to the "investigation" dept, he comes back saying "well I look like an idiot." Said documentation didn't have sufficient evidence to support the charge, and he was going to refund me. All is well and sorted in the end, but it took me going down to Encore in person and putting up a fight for the manager to fully review the claim and come to the conclusion that I shouldn't have been charged in the first place. I frequent Encore Casino, and this was my first time staying in the hotel. I will not be giving Encore another penny of my money after today. read more

Trash. You can't get food past 10p. Room service ends at 11p. They stop serving alcohol on the casino floor at midnight. What a joke of a casino. The rooms are nice though. read more

My overall experience staying in the Encore Boston Harbor was amazing!! My room was the most spacious and high-tech hotel room I have ever encountered. Everything is controlled via iPad - the lights, curtains, TV, even room service. I loved how luxurious the ambiance was, and I have to say the room service was top notch! My boyfriend and I got breakfast each morning, and it was quite literally the best room service breakfast I have had. Yes it was pricey, but the food was still nice and hot, and you could really taste the quality. Awesome stay overall! read more

I stayed in Andover, MA for 2 nights for a wedding and was able to get away with my wife for a few hours for some slot play. I was very impressed by their casino floor. Lots of fun games! Very clean, nice staff. The only problem I had was getting a drink, I ordered twice but both times they never came back ( i waited about 5-7 minutes the first time and the second time I was there around 15-20 minutes) I was still delightfully surprised over how much fun games they had. I will visit again when I'm in the area read more

Mixed feelings about the hotel. On the one hand the rooms are spacious and nicely appointed. Room service was fast and the meal was acceptable. The big negative is there is no place to sit it the grand lobby - no where. I went to wait for a friend and had to stand. Same as when I was waiting got my Uber. Horrible. Also horrible is that there is no place for casual dining that is not inside the casino. I understand that the main focus of the hotel is to make you gamble, but still not convenient if you are just looking to meet someone for a meal and conversation. read more

Instead of gambling, I enjoyed the walking paths outside and restaurants indoors. In the daytime, there use to be a path from the casino all the way to the shopping center on Mystic View Road. read more

This is a beautiful resort, both outside and inside. Very ornate decor everywhere. Plush carpet, beautiful lighting and furnishings all over the resort and the casino. We did a staycation here for a weekend in March a couple years ago and it was amazing. Our room was huge and so comfortable- nice bed, couch and there was also a dining table by the window where we ate breakfast. The bathroom was gigantic with double sink, huge tub separate shower and all luxury amenities. We ate at several restaurants and food was good. The casino certainly gets very busy on Saturday. It was fun to just walk around and watch all the different games being played. Yesterday we went to the Memoire nightclub. Self parking in the underground garage was free which was awesome. It was very crowded though so a bit tough to find spots. We got in right around at 10 when the club opens so was fairly quick and easy to get in. Don't forget to bring ID as the casino and nightclub are 21+ DJ and music was great, we had a fun time overall! read more

Beautiful flowers and decor all around . I snapped some pictures of the decor made with flowers and in general. It's absolutely breathtaking. In person maybe more but I hope the pictures capture some of this beauty. Lots of restaurants inside you can check the Encore website for a complete list . Just too many to mention. You can stroll around the area after a nice meal and do some shopping . If you gamble lots going on in the area on the casino floors. They also have scratch ticket machines inside if your into that . A hotel onsite with a spa ‍. So this has something for everyone to do. They have valet parking or regular parking . read more

Extortionate prices. $4 for a small bottle of water $99 for breakfast for 2. Served cold, dried potatoes puck, bacon as hard as a brick. Super long check-in Half the restaurant venues were closed last night and no entertainment to speak of. The rooms are nice and the view is world-class but, at $660 per night, that's expected read more

Ok, I have read some other reviews so let's get this out of the way. I was here for a conference and LOVED the hotel room and conference space and bathrooms near the conference rooms. This isn't about the casino. I wasn't there to gamble and we have two bigger casinos near me in CT, so I wouldn't drive to Boston just for this casino. But, the hotel room was spacious and just wonderful to spend 3 nights in! We did pay $25 for our stay (not per night) to have a fridge delivered to our room as the one that's always in the room is stocked with things for purchase, there isn't even room for a water bottle or two like we've seen in some other hotels. There's a nespresso machine in the room with virtuo pods, just like I have at home. The bathroom has a tub, separate from the shower, two sinks and a door to the toilet so your partner/friend can use the bathroom while you're using the toilet. The TV was a good size and on an arm that swung further than most to watch TV while in bed. The windows took up the whole wall and had great room-darkening curtains as well as sheers, and all of it was controlled by Alexa! I'd totally stay here again and enjoy the comfort and spaciousness of the room, even if you don't spend more for the city view! The toiletries are re-stocked daily if you use them, which I wasn't expecting. I forgot my toothbrush and was happy to find one (along with many other things) in the bathroom, and was surprised to open the drawer looking for something else a couple days later only to find another toothbrush in the drawer! So, yeah, 5 stars for the hotel. We gambled very little and lost, so umm that's not what the stars are for. Though, if it's your first time getting the rewards card or whatever it's called, you do get $50 free play for signing up, so there's that. read more

Encore Boston Harbor - Almost there! - Resorts Near Me - Everett, Massachusetts

It's a beautiful hotel but the information that is offered to guests regarding booking services is lacking at best. One of the advertised services is a harbor taxi. I spoke with the concierge and was given a card regarding shuttle times. No further information was provided. I was not able to take the taxi to long wharf as this service did not start until 4pm. We planned our evening around taking a return taxi back, with a clear understanding that the last taxi was at 840 and a 20 minute arrival time prior to the last departure was recommended.Finding where to get this taxi from long wharf harbor is impasible unless you've done it before. We called the hotel to get the gate number for pickup and were given the wrong gate. Once figuring out this was incorrect we spoke with a docked boat trying to find the correct gate. This in turn led us to being denied service on the last return once we were able to find the correct gate with the help of other docked boats. The encores boat captain was extremely rude when telling us that the boat was full. This is not reflective of the luxury hotel brand you claim to be. I will not be back nor would I recommend you to anyone. Very dissatisfied! read more

This is only rated for our hotel stay in the signature harbor view suite. Everything about this room screams luxury and was very well thought out. The whole place was immaculately clean, seriously not a speck of dust anywhere. We will definitely be staying here whenever we're back in Boston. This suite is 1350sqft, 2 bathrooms and the main bathroom connecting to the bedroom is such a DREAM; Jacuzzi tub, double vanity, separate room for the toilet, and the shower pressure is so phenomenal I could cry. Literally it felt like a massage while you shower. The room service was one of the best I have experienced anywhere else, it was super quick and the food was cooked and seasoned beautifully!! The yolk on the Benny is prepared better than most top rated brunch places known for their bennies! The room controls are all touch pad and could also be controlled by Alexa as well, very futuristic! There's two iPads that you could do everything on from ordering room service, requesting additional towels to checking out, so convenient! Self park is free and Valet parking is only $5 each time. They provide shuttle and town car (Range Rover) services as well. Such a beautiful hotel and wonderful staff! Truly a 5 star hotel!!! read more

This is a nice place unfortunately there seems to be some corner cutting since the last time I stayed here. I am not a gambler but am attending a professional conference and the venue is well chosen. Parking is easy and gratis, and there are electric chargers everywhere if you need them. My room is excellent well stocked and housekeeping is top notch. I have a great view of the harbor and City of Boston. Many of the bars and restaurants are closed or only open on a limited schedule. For example the Rare steakhouse is only open Thurs-Sun, I am here Mon-Weds. the second floor lobby restaurant is closed I used to like having breakfast there. Other eateries in the Conference wing were not open. The only explanation is that they are closed. Covid is not an excuse anymore. I did eat in the Rare Lounge. A nice bar but the food was not as great as I remember it. They seem to be directing everyone to eat in the places actually located in the casino. The lodging was excellent, ambiance high-endy, but restaurants and food service so-so. However, I would say that the conference food service was very good. I do like the place for a conference and would return if another Conference were held here. Mark. read more

Beautiful resort and casino on the border of Everett and Boston. Lots of space in the parking garage below the casino. I came here to celebrate my birthday and had a blast. There are lots of slot machines and tables to keep you busy day and night. It was my first time playing here and my birthday so I got a $50 complimentary reward. I didn't get a chance to explore them much but there are also many restaurants here and a few high-end stores. Does it beat Foxwoods in CT... absolutely not. Is it an absolutely beautiful addition to the beautiful city of Boston... absolutely. Highly recommend, come give it a shot! read more

This is a great casino with a great selection of slots and tables. We had no problem finding easy and close parking on a Tuesday. I am sure it gets cramped on weekends and holidays as it is comparably smaller than other casinos. Staff were friendly and helpful. The smoke free environment is awesome and a great break from the other smoked out casinos. A few machines had broken play buttons and the light glare from the ceilings can make some machines a bit harder to truly enjoy. It's a quieter casino and I noticed that the sound was turned to low/off on each machine I went to. So if you enjoy the sound of the slots, turn up the volume. Staff were visibly wiping down machines and the bathrooms were very clean. read more

Stayed here for a work conference and boy, the rooms, the casino floor, the check in desk, the little information counter, conference rooms, bars, nothing disappointed. The room was perfect, bed, pillows, bathroom, large bathtub, it felt like a vacation even though I was there for work. The conference rooms and meeting rooms we were in were all great, the back outdoor grounds where we met for happy hour were green and inviting. The bars were on it, service was great although there were a lot of us. 10/10, definitely would recommend and would stay here again business trip or not. read more

Beautiful rooms. Friendly atmosphere and great gaming. Plenty of dining choices. We enjoyed our time and found all staff very welcoming.

One hugely large and busy property. Location wise this worked for us, but it is on the "other" side of the harbor. They do have a free water taxi to /from the North End and also from Fenway (not to Fenway). They also have free parking, which is unusual for downtown Boston properties. The rooms are excellent and upgrades are plentiful, just ask. Make sure you get a red "Wynn Card" in advance (online). It provides other discounts. Everyone we ran into from the Encore Team was 5*. That's nice to see. There are plenty of places to eat if that is what you want. I won a couple hundred dollars, but I can't really speak to the casino part of the property. It was busy, clean, and no smoking. Would we return? FOR SURE, if it fits into our geographic needs. read more

They recently removed the few old school slots. Double diamond, triple diamond and triple double diamond with 1 dollar denom. What's left is nothing but high volatility games with a lower return to player. The slots I mentioned seemed busy every time I was there. Foxwood and Mohegan still cater to the old school player. read more

Encore boston is such a beautiful luxurious hotel and casino. My husband and I were only in town one night, but we did not want to leave! Every detail inside and out was top notch. The grounds outside and decor inside are stunning. Every employee is polished, kind, attentive and professional. The smoke free casino is so vibrant with plenty of food and drink options. (Our favorite was the hidden speakeasy!) Most impressive of all was how massive the "basic" hotel room and bathrooms are. I felt like a celebrity staying there. So elegant and relaxing, I can't wait to return. read more

Disappointed. Poor service from the Checkin to the night time. Very little concern for customer satisfaction. Will NOT return. Evaaaahh!

Yes, the excitement of a casino in the Boston area is great but the restaurants are extremely overpriced for the quality of food and service. I have been to every restaurant in each restaurant. The weight staff is extremely rude, and pompous. When you ask for a management, you get the same entitlement. The main bar on the casino floor is an absolute nightmare. The bartenders are again extremely rude to the point where they make you feel like you're bothering them and if you don't give a good enough tip, they have no problem shouting it to you. The nightclub gives off a very unsafe vibe. read more

all of my dealers were very kind to me, i have been here multiple times and had a great time. A man named Kevin, I think he was a floor manager was very rude to me, Multiple times he was rude to me and told me be he would kick me out for my behavior even though I was acting the same way as many others at tables around me. Me and my friends ended up leaving because of the way he was treating me.( i said fuck because i lost lol) even a man at my table called him out because he didn't have the same reaction to another man at a different table. I am not sure if it's because i am woman but he was not treating me the same as he was at everybody else at the casino. I usually have a great time here but this time my trip was ended short because of the way he was treating me. read more

Rooms are great, food is great. Check in not as great. 2500 group for conference, coming in from all over country, let us check in early instead of wandering hotel like hobos after hours of early day travel. Casino tables all over priced. You can have a few low end tables. Being from New York I had to go for work, but I would never make the drive to just go there for fun. There's 1000 other options closer Connecticut/Atlantic City way more bang for the buck. read more

I have to say I was very impressed! This was definitely one of the cleanest casinos I've ever been to. It was very beautiful inside and I loved that it was SMOKE FREE!

There were tons of restaurants and shops here as well. And oh, the restrooms were IMMACULATE!!!! read more

Encore is definitely a nice looking casino, with plenty of dining options. I am happy that it is non-smoking. Coming during the week, it was easy to get a seat at any game I wanted to play. Even though I personally find newer casinos to be much more tight with their payouts. I would consider staying here if there was a deal, but otherwise, I might pop in again sometime in the future and stay elsewhere as they didn't have much going on while we were there. read more

We stayed here for a night just to check it out. We mostly play random slots like the planet moolah one and don't really gamble for real. The hotel is nice but definitely on a much smaller scale than Vegas hotels, as expected. The lobby has a cool flower carousel and decorations reminiscent of the Wynn and encore in Vegas, but the flower balls seem more muted. The casino is pretty big, and busy on a weekend night. Parking is ample and free. We were excited for free ev charging, but that was very limited and the only open spots were out of service so that was a bummer. Our hotel room was nice but I kind of wish we had upgraded to harbor view. They do give free drinks if you are gambling. It takes them quite a while to come back sometimes, but they do eventually. I wish there was a pool. The food options seem kind of limited but there's always shake shack for a good quick meal. Overall a slightly sad shadow of the wynn and encore in Vegas, but we might come once in a while. read more
