“Nice family stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

Great two night stay with family. Average quality room and bath, nothing unusual or better than other Marriotts. Good gym, excellent breakfast and nice lobby bar. Computers in the lobby don't print. No good store or gift shop. Overpriced for what the hotel offers. But there is a Starbucks.

“Paper thin walls”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

It is a shame that a recent stay at this otherwise fine hotel was so marred by the thin walls between the rooms. We could hear a moderate conversation word for word from the next room. Things were worse late that evening when there was a loud arguement in the hall for which I had to call security. Last, but not least, our neighbors were up bright and early - and noisy - the next morning. We did not leave very well rested. I will say that the room was very nice otherwise with a great view of Boston and the harbor. Finally, breakfast at the hotel was fair at best. I could not stay at this property again.

Room Tip: The only way to get a good room would be to have empty rooms on either side of yours.

“Expensive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

If you have the money, stay there....If you don't wan to spend the money, find something else!
It's a nice hotel, but definately over priced. Not even the internet was included in the 260 USD / night (special show rate). Nor the breakfast.

“I really like staying here”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Granted, it is not in the middle of the thick of Boston's best, but I do like it's location, the fact it is quiet, it overlooks the water, and it gives me a reason to walk everyday to get to where the real deal is. It is very convenient to the Convention Center, which is the real reason I enjoy using this hotel when I am in town for a meeting.

The staff is always courteous, I have always been pleased with the fitness equipment/facility and the breakfast is good. Not a big fan of the dinner menu at 606, but this place is close to a legal seafoods, a legal test-kitchen, salvatores and a sports bar. A 10 to 15 minute walk (or longer) can put you across the water and into some really great restaurants as well.

“Cool decor and great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

I didn't stay here but attended a conference. Really courteous and helpful staff and great amenities. Food they served for lunch and snacks was delicious. Looks brand new; well maintained and fun decor! I'd definitely stay here if I didn't already live in Boston!
