The location is beautiful and the weather wasn't too bad, We did like the fact that the hotel is located close to many things to do with children. (Museum , town plaza with tiny shops etc.) I also liked the fact that a key card is needed to get to each floor which is awesome for safety reasons. The room offers a fridge,ice container, tea and coffee maker but NO Water bring your own or buy some from the hotel. They have a restaurant in the hotel which isn't too bad (*especially the drinks) for the first night since we were tired but look around the area if you have time because awesome restaurants are all around but make sure to reserve. The beds were comfortable with weighted blankets and the view was nice from our room to the town and the house keeping is very polite and friendly they will only clean if you want them to. The pool is nice and warm but a bit on the smaller side yet not bad for kids and with it being located on the 2nd or 3rd floor may be the reason for the size. They offer a gym and free drinks (flavored water)in the workout area. Our room location was extra quiet and when reading reviews we were nervous about our children but not a complaint nor issues with the boys having fun.

The only day we noticed any type of low energy from staff was on Sunday morning from the valet gentleman which was odd because the Friday morning guy was phenomenal and even helped us on how to unpack our items for our stay especially since he noticed we arrived with a baby. Parking is not good in the location so get ready for the fee and be advised that card is the only option to pay not cash. (Try to park and walk around during your stay) Honestly for the price it would be nice if the hotel actually offered something free even a bagel or drink but everything is a fee even the WiFi. And the escalators are still not working but the elevators are.

The location is excellent. It is close to the Duck Boat pick-up, the harbor, Little Italy, restaurants, Hop-On-Hop-Off trolley, Quincey Market and many other areas of town. The restaurant at the hotel had a good restaurant, too.

I liked everything.

I don't believe one can beat the superb location of the hotel in Boston. It's literally right next a T station, and most of the water ferries dock right next to the hotel, we took one to Salem, which is a highly recommended destination on the northshore. The aquarium is also right next door, which is a must-visit sight in Boston. It's a short walk across the street to the wonderful Quincy market food hall and shopping area, and an equally short walk to the north end, featuring the finest Italian dining outside of New York city on the East Coast. Liked that the hotel provided washers and dryers for self-service laundry. The rooms were quiet and we were not kept awake by any noisy celebrating during our entire 9-night stay.

We paid top dollar to stay in the hotel, so I was a bit annoyed that my room charge didn't include breakfast. We did get the $30/day credit for use at the hotel facilities, but that didn't stretch very far, given the prices. While I appreciated that the hotel provided washers and dryers for self-service laundry, I was a bit put-out that the machines weren't free but were pay-operated. For the amount of money we spent on the room, I think the hotel should have provided that service for free. The indoor pool was a little too small for a hotel of this size; I'd recommend putting in a much larger outdoor pool in the future, if possible - that would be an even bigger draw, especially for guests with children.

The location of it was perfect for doing everything downtown. Everything was walkable. The amenities were wonderful.

Unfortunately, the entire time we were there, the pool was under maintenance and therefore we could not enjoy it. The kids were disappointed and partially I chose the booking because of the pool for the kids.

Great location, great views. Staff was fantastic. Everything very clean and expected for a Marriott l.

I was half expecting a fee using the shower with how many extra fees there were. Parking was $65 a night, $25 a night "destination" fee (which I assume was to try to entice people to get food or drink from the location instead of the MANY options off property) and I believe we had another nightly fee of some sort on top of all that. A $3200 reservation (not cheap for us) ended up being over $3800 after all the extra fees. Would have been nice to have the reservation be the reservation and not have to worry about an extra $1000 when we got there.

Loved the hotel and location and friendly, helpful staff.

What we did NOT like AT ALL -- we arrived and discovered our reservation had been CANCELLED! By whom, when, and why? That is what we want to know from you, booking.com, as neither my wife nor I had cancelled this room. Please reply to let us know why; otherwise, we will probably never book with you again.

Hotel: beautiful Staff: outstanding Concierge; (Deb) very helpful Location: outstanding

Restaurant: ordinary Bathroom in room: small Room: ordinary. Could have used a small table for room service meals.

The property was clean; the front staff were amazing, kind and courteous. We like to travel and by far the friendliest staff members at this hotel. The hotel is close to different attractions; you can’t go wrong staying at this Marriot!

Breakfast buffet was delicious. Some more grab and go type options would be nice. Room was great. Hallways were a little dark, not well marked. I had my elderly mother in law and she could not find room independently due to this. Pool was small and chilly, but we also traveled at a very busy time. Loved the pool deck. Beautiful area, close to everything, would love to stay again in the future.

The breakfast was delicious! Great choices and child friendly. Staff was very accommodating.

The room alarm clock was set for 6am. We did not notice that since we use our cell phones for an alarm. It was an unexpected wake-up! Suggest housekeeping check alarm clocks-leave them on OFF.
