About a 15 min walk from the food and shopping in Seaport. Also a 15 min walk from the silver line dropoff on congress street from the airport. Otherwise, close to the convention center. The room bed was extremely soft, I felt like I was sinking in. The bathroom floor is slippery so be careful, I almost fell getting into the shower. Room is generally clean and has some scuffs but only aesthetically. Has a nice gym.

Wow we are glad we stayed here! Location: basically a $10-$13 car ride/lyft/uber from many, “touristy” things (i.e aquarium, Quincy, museums, duck tours). Highly recommend the Museum of Illusions. You can also walk many places in 15 minutes. Rooms: great with very smart layouts to maximize living quarters and bathrooms. Service: Awesome! I include the lobby in this which is filled with a billiards table, shuffle board and foosball table, bar, quick shop, lounge. The staff is VERY friendly and accommodating. There is a woman named Chantá who works there and is so incredible. I would come back to this one hotel just to hope to catch up with her…seriously she’s that charismatic.

Hotel was modern and very clean. The service was good. The price for parking was $54 a night. They don't tell you that if you don't use the valet until after 8:00 pm it is free. We got there at 3, checked in and paid for valet and then didn't return until after 10pm. They did remove the valet charge w/o any issues. There is a $25 resort fee, but they give you back $15 in credit but it had to be used that day.

Room was clean and sufficed for the night. Hotel did not have any parking available when I arrived and when I asked for other options or recommendations they said “I don’t know you can always try and find parking in the street”. Ultimately I ended up parking my car at the Omni garage. When checking in to my room I was also hit with a 25$ destination fee which then immediately justified by the $15 voucher you get to the snack bar. I tried to use this but there was no one there to check out with so I gave up. Honestly it was fine, everyone was nice but it was lackluster in comparison to the nearby Westin and Hyatt in Seaport.

I had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel for three nights during a conference. The front desk and cleaning crew were incredibly friendly and efficient. Check-in was a breeze. The hotel was conveniently located directly across from the convention center. They offered breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and there was a restaurant within the hotel itself. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the cleaning staff came daily to ensure the rooms stayed spotless. The toilet flusher required some effort to flush the bowl, but it wasn’t a significant inconvenience and the water in the sinks drained quickly. As a precaution, I always check the seams of the mattress for any brown stains that could indicate bed bugs, but I didn’t find any during my stay. Overall, I had a great time at this hotel and would definitely stay here again!

Great location with easy access to Boston Logan and the convention center. The room had large windows, was clean, and the staff were helpful. That said, the stay had several drawbacks. The biggest issue was the “Destination Fee” of almost $30 per night. It was written in very small print and wasn’t clear during booking on Marriott.com. They give you $15/day in property credit, which I used at the lobby store, but it still feels like a surprise charge that should be included in the upfront price. The AC/heater was loud and felt like a budget-hotel unit, not something you expect from a 4-star property. Noise insulation was also weak. I was in a corner room and could still hear hallway noise, doors opening and closing, and knocking throughout the stay. The overall construction of the room felt cheaper than expected. Good location and friendly staff, but the hidden fee, noise issues, and loud AC/heater held the stay back.

Comfortable hotel room, well situated in Seaport district, 10 mins walk to lots of nice restaurants and bars at the waterfront. Reception desk provided excellent service when check in and accommodated request for a room change readily and in friendly manner. Room is good size with a bit of novel orientation, bathroom being separated away with a privacy wall between bathroom and bedroom, making it a bit more private and seemingly spacious.

I've stayed at this hotel a bunch of times for work and it's clean, efficient, easy to get to. Mostly though, the staff is very friendly. This time around, my son stayed over to attend a Celtics game for his birthday and the staff went out of their way to make him feel special with a sweet treat and beverages. A big Thank You to Monique at the front desk, along with her colleagues, who went above and beyond that evening.
