Courtyard

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 21 Feb 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

We liked it. The pool was smaller than we wanted and only 3.5' deep, but large pools are not too common in Boston. Hotel elevators were fast. Our maid was helpful but a non-English speaker which made direct communication difficult. Room was clean, beds too soft for adults, just right for my 10 year old son. Room had 2 double beds and campus fridge.

Positives: Underground parking was reasonably priced at $18. Parking elevator leads to lobby, not room floors, that's a safety feature.

Negatives: Whirlpool water not clear. Main pool was smallish. No DVD or microwave in room.

I was not impressed as an out of town traveler. I drove from upstate New York with a young child and arrived in the area after dark. I was not able to find the hotel from the directions I had searched. I called the hotel for directions and got someone who could not be understand. This person also could not give me directions that actually got me to the hotel. This hotel was on a very small one way street with the only access off of a one way street and the hotel personnel gave me directions that I could not use. It took me an hour to happen upon the right way! Very frustrating especially when traveling with a child. It is not a hotel I will stay in again!

Positives: It was attractively decorated.

Negatives: Hotel personnel could not give adequate directions.

Nice decor, poor service and attitude, pool/spa was closed but no one was cleaning it and it looked fine. After 18 hours of driving it was the only thing I was looking forward to. There was also no cable TV, the analog stations were very poor quality. Also parking was $18/night, even for paying guests.

Positives: The rooms were nice.

Negatives: No microwave in room, TV reception was poor, pool not functioning.

Location was great, but upon arrival got hit with an additional $18/day parking fee. Also there was no coffee out for guests in lobby. Ive been in over 20 Marriott hotels, and this is the only one without. The front desk said they only have it out in AM hours. The rooms were clean and the staff was nice. Overall, it is a 2-3 star hotel in a 3-4 star location, that is the only reason it got a 3 star. I will use again though, as I said the rooms are clean and the location is great for my work.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: The only Marriott Ive ever been to that doesn't have coffee out for guests.

I don't have high standards so for me this was quite luxurious. Nice decor in the rooms. Small computer room near lobby, internet access in the rooms. The location was superb for my daughter and me. Lots of inexpensive (and expensive) restaurants within walking distance. Bus and T stop just a 2 minute walk. Safe parking right below the hotel. The service was absolutely friendly and helpful.

Positives: Convenience and close to great stores and restaurants and public transportation.

Negatives: Very slight undercleaning of room.

Everything was cool except for the funky smell of the room. It was kind of stale smelling.

Positives: Late check out time.

Negatives: Parking was not free.

Great staff - clean, upscale facilities. Bit of a challenge to drive to if new to city driving. Additional cost to park was a bit of a surprise. Would also have appreciated a free buffet breakfast, and may be a bar and grill on site.

Positives: Within walking distance of decent places to eat.

Negatives: Parking was an additional cost.

We had stayed in downtown Boston hotels before with higher prices and equal or fewer amenities. Our room was spacious and had free WiFi. There was an exercise room and one could purchase a glass of wine in the lobby. The hotel has a small restaurant. The only discordant note was that my husband and I both noticed that the elevator rugs really needed to be vacuumed, although the rest of the hotel was very clean. There's also an attached garage with reasonable rates for Boston. We would definitely stay here again.

Positives: Very comfortable, great location.

Negatives: Rugs in elevators needed to be vacuumed.

Nice location, but the road construction out in front of the hotel left a lot to be desired. Not much in the way of nice restaurants nearby. However, inside everything was very lovely. Nicer room and bathroom than the higher priced hotels downtown. Free wi-fi is great, especially since high-end hotels charge $10 or more for access. Parking was $15 a night, reasonable. I'd definitely recommend staying here.

Positives: Clean and attractively decorated.

Negatives: No refrigerator in the room.

Positives: Clean.

Negatives: No ice machine on my floor.
