“Falling for the Marriott Brand”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

I stayed at this hotel recently for a business trip. I'm normally a Hilton person, but when I attempted to find a room last minute for a business trip, the Hilton prices were about $30 higher per night than this hotel. I couldn't justify the extra cost, so I decided to give Courtyard a try.

I made the right decision! The hotel was beautiful inside. I was greeted by very friendly staff, who checked me in quickly and easily. I was very impressed with the decor of the hotel lobby. When I arrived in the room, I was equally impressed. These hotels have a more modern feel than the Hiltons do, and I have enjoyed the room designs.

Here are some of the highlights from my stay: the hotel has free wifi, which is wonderful. It's frustrating when some places overcharge for this service. The business center was available and easy to use - I was able to use the computer & printer to print my airplane boarding passes for my return flight. The bed was very comfortable and I slept incredibly well. I was also able to use the 24 hour fitness room, which had good equipment and was a pleasant experience.

All in all, I can't complain whatsoever about this stay. I love the Hilton hotels, but this is my second stay at a Marriott brand in recent times, and I am thoroughly impressed! I would stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat and am now far more willing to consider Marriott hotels for future trips.

“Quiet, clean and comfortable with easy access to Route 128”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

We have family in the Boston area and this little gem has afforded us the best opportunity to get a good night's sleep at a reasonable price. (No extra charges and no hidden fees for parking or wifi like some hotels nearby).

We were greeted warmly at reception and the lobby and common areas are bright, open and spotlessly clean. I did not have a chance go in the pool, but two women were in it when I walked by and they looked as if they were enjoying it. (note to self: bring swim suit next time--there's a hot tub) There is also a fitness center for guests to use.

The room was clean, pretty and the shower was hot. The bed was very comfortable and I slept through the night (which is not easy for me!) In the morning, we were able to get right back on 128 and onto the Pike to return home.

In short, this is a very nice hotel at a great price. Kudos to the management and the staff!!

“Feels like home”

Over the past 10 years, I have stayed at this Courtyard many times. I have always found the reception very friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. I would recommend this Marriott location highly; love that the parking is free.

“Friendly and convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

Clean rooms and common areas. Pool was a little cold, but hot tub was great! Clean, spacious rooms and convenient bistro with full bar in the lobby. Would recommend to anyone visiting Boston or needing someplace convenient to Children's Hospital.
