The night worker, a young black guy was excellent, extremely professional and took really good care of us, which made me think the entire staff was like that. The day time staff was the complete opposite. Dismissive of needs, not professional, and not helpful. Your room is only cleaned every other day. I would not stay there again.

Everything in the hotel is dark brown - dingy and depressing. Rooms overlooking a busy and very noisy freeway. Difficult to access clean towels or hang them to dry. If you are traveling with children, the breakfast is not something most kids will eat. No pool or amenities but a $25 charge per room per day for a “resort fee”. We finally found out we could use it toward our $21 per person continental breakfast. The $65 a day garage charge is obscene but unless you go across a very busy freeway, this is the only option. Will not be returning to this hotel. As long time Marriott rewards customers, we were very disappointed.

The hotel was close to dining options and we walked into downtown Boston/Fenway (about 45 minute walk). Parking is expensive at the hotel so we parked one block away under the highway for $20/24 hour period. Our room was spacious and we slept well - ask for the side away from the highway which is much quieter. Steve at the front desk provided excellent customer service.

The noise at this hotel due to the location was terrible. It was constant traffic, engines reviving, horns blowing, police sirens, etc. The location was also not convenient to anything. Maps shows it being somewhat close to downtown but it was a very long and not great location if you are wanting to visit downtown Boston.
