Boston - great trip

Loved the location of this hotel -by the T and across the street from MIT. Starbucks in the lobby - pretty easy to get anywhere, and Legal seafood is on the corner.

Go to Fenway to a Red Sox game if you are there during baseball season - it is almost 100 years old and worth the experience - a fan or not!

Best Cambridge Location

The hotel was great, the location was even better. Take the "T" wherever you go, get a Charlie Card.

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

Take the "T" from the airport and back. From the airport, take the Silver Line (right outside baggage claim) to the South Station, transfer to the Red Line Outbound Alewife, and then get off at the Kendall MIT stop. Walk up the Main St. steps and you will enter the back doors of the Marriott. You will save more than $30.00 over a cab ride and get there much quicker!!!

Great place to stay

Very clean, great access to the "T", close to downtown, close to Logan Airport, and you could see Fenway Park from my room (the whole purpose of my trip). I had the best hamburger I have ever tasted in the hotel resturant/bar. I didn't deal too much with any of the staff but the ones I did were polite and helpful. I will stay there again when I get the chance.

Not your Usual Marriott Standards!

We arrived early in Boston and went by the hotel to see if they would keep our luggage until check-in time. We were surprised when they said, they would allow us to check in at 10am. I thought this was the beginning of a wonderful stay. We usually stay at Marriott hotels when we travel, we love their friendly, courteous staff and clean rooms. On Friday, we noticed no refrigerator in the rooms so we asked for a mini frig for our water. We purchased some at the local pharmacy, it's $5 a bottle in the room and we paid $3.50 for a 12pk. The front desk said, they were out and would add our room to their list and when one became available, they would send it up. Sat came and no frig so we used the ice bucket to keep our water cold. We were only there for 3 days and thank goodness we didn't have leftovers from dinner that need refrigeration. We visited the concierge on Friday to ask for a good place to eat in Chinatown. He recommended China Pearl and gave us half baked directions to the restaurant. He wasn't very friendly and we felt like we were inconveniencing him by asking. When we got to chinatown, we realized our directions stopped at the metro so we asked several people if they knew the restaurant or street where it was located. We were about to give up when the fourth person we asked knew where the street was. We visited the concierge twice while there and each time the person was unfriendly. This was very surprising for a Marriott hotel. The room was dusty, there was dust on the remote control, tv stand, night stand and vanity. I used an alcohol wipe to clean the remote. We purchased lysol while there. This was the 1st time after many years of staying in a Marriott hotel, I was concerned about the cleanliness of the room. Also, there are only 4 elevators in this huge hotel and most times there was a line waiting for them. The location is great; there is a metro stop located across the street from the hotel. You can get a day pass and be any where in Boston in minutes.

Great Homebase in Boston

Great access to the train lines. Staff were very helpful and went out of their way to assist you. Breakfast service and food was excellent. The only negative experience we had was when we got home and found out that after prepaying our stay on Orbitz, and checking out with a folio that only charged us for our breakfast, the hotel also ran through regular room charges on our debit card, therefore collecting twice from us. After my call, the money was credited back 2 days later.

GREAT HOTEL; NICE AREA; QUIET AT NIGHT

GREAT HOTEL TO STAY IF YOU WANT TO SEE BOSTON. SUBWAY TERMINAL IS LESS THAN 50 YARDS WHEN YOU WALK OUT OF REAR OF HOTEL. STARBUCKS IS INSIDE ALONG WITH A RESTAURANT. A FOOD COURT IS LOCATED NEXT DOOR AND DUNKIN DONUTS IS A 4 MINUTE WALK. QUIET AT NIGHT NOT MANY PEOPLE WALKING AROUND. LOCATED ACROSS FROM MIT. NICE POOL AND WORKOUT AREA. STAFF WAS GREAT. I WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN. KING BED WAS VERY COMFORTABLE. HOTEL HAS PARKING GARAGE AND PUBLIC GARAGE IS NEXT DOOR.

located near downtown Boston

Centrally located between downtown Boston and Harvard Square. Taxi ride to either area costs $10 to $12. You easily could take the "T". Station located next to hotel.

The Perfect Location

The location to the T made traveling throughout the city to many different venues a breeze. We saw the Paul McCartney concert at Fenway, walked the Freedom Trail, visited Fanieul Hall, visited MIT and Harvard and ate in wonderful restaurants.

Buy an all day pass for the subway, and the skies the limit. Never have to worry about parking.
