As Great As Promised and Reviewed!
This stay was under the duress of emergency family business that required our last minute travel from home in Europe to Boston. This property could not have done a better job of taking care of us. Our unit was fully functional, comfy and spotless and service at every turn was top notch. We ended up extending our stay from the initial 5 days to 9, and again, could not have been more comfortable in doing so. Thanks for making this tough trip easy. Kudos to the Marriott Brand!

Great staff, especially Rob on the front desk! Room was large and updated. Had a smart TV, a kitchen with cooktop, dishwasher and stocked with kitchen supplies. Linens were thick and soft. Bed was very comfortable. Only complaints: could hear people walking above us. And for location, the train doesn't run often in the evenings, and buses run late. Parking was $30 /day even though not close to downtown (but we knew that at booking, just something to note)

I searched long and hard for a one night stay for my family. This was better than we could have expected, even with all of the hard work that I put into the search. It was a great location, amazing room, kind and diligent staff, the salt water pool was nice, and they had the best continental breakfast that I have ever had. I am gluten free so this was a treat. I wish we had more than one night stay there!

Our room was nice and clean. Not your typical residence inn that has the divider wall but more like a studio. Checkin was easy. They were upfront about the parking fees. Which is stupid at $30 a night but oh well. Room was clean. Good size. Breakfast on a Sunday morning sucked. Flat out disgusting. The women that worked there were rude and not helpful. There were eggs. Turkey sausage and potatoes. Eggs I didn’t eat cause it’s that crap from a bag or powder. The sausage wasn’t even warmed up. It was cold. The potatoes were soaked in oil. The best thing I ate was the muffin that I toasted and buttered. I came back at 10 and those rude workers closed the kitchen right in your face. Not sure if they’re union workers but they sure work like they’re in a union. They don’t give an F about pleasing anyone. So do yourself a favor. Eat the stuff they don’t cook. Grab a banana and toast yourself a muffin or bread. Overall. Hotel is nice and clean. Breakfast sucks.

Great spot for a family trip. Only 15 min away from Boston. Target and many restaurants across the street. Room size was adequate for a family trip with a 2 yo and her toys. Breakfast has good offering. Staff was cordial. Would definitely come back.
