I was pleasantly surprised with this Marriott in that it was a much more pleasant experience than usual. The staff (with the exception of one lady) was exceptional. It was clean and quite comfortable. I enjoyed having the refrigerator in the room for soda & snacks for my grandchildren. The free shuttle service to the T and all of the squares eg Harvard, Central and Kendell provided us the opportunity to get around without an expensive car rental and parking fees. Buffet breakfast provided a wide variety of hot & cold breakfast items every morning. The pool was kept clean and well-stocked with towels. I would suggest that soap and shampoo be provided in the shower area however! The short (1/4 block) walk to Trader Joes behind this hotel was convenient to purchase any type of organic food/drinks we wanted!

Positives: Clean & comfortable. I loved the shuttle service.

Negatives: One unfriendly receptionist.

You get what you pay for. We wanted to spend less money and we got sub par service. While the hotel was very clean, the front staff had to consult Internet several times for directions - to hotel, to subway, to post office. These seem like basic directions to me.

Positives: Very clean and crisp.

Negatives: Front staff was clueless.

Negatives: Not being able to request the type of bed- 2 double beds or 1 Queen/King bed.

I was not happy with my stay due to the fact they were located next to a shopping center. There was a semi truck unloading every night next to my room very late at night. Making a terrible racket.

Positives: The location was convenient to where

Negatives: I had to pay 24 dollars a day for parking.

Modern, clean, very comfortable hotel. Bed was VERY comfy, nice view, new LCD TV. Bathroom was the only area which hinted at the age of the building (exposed pipes). Definitely recommended for a quick overnight stay for business or leisure.

Positives: Very clean, modern, many amenities.

Negatives: Steep parking.
