Spent a weekend in Boston just before Christmas. Love this area because it’s near the various theaters so we caught the showing of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The show was wonderful and it is literally across the street from the hotel. The hotel is also perfectly situated in Chinatown because of the vast number of Chinese restaurant options. It’s also a stones throw from a fancy shopping district. The WOW room was truly wonderful. Huge living room separate from the bedroom. Nice dining area for when we ordered UberEats. $35 tourist fee can be credited back to the guests in the form of food and drink credits but other options are available. Nice gym. Spacious. The usual equipment in a hotel gym. Read less

Decent hotel but a bit dingy and dated. Definitely showing some wear and tear, but overall consistent W experience otherwise. Decent location. Room service is good. Broader amenities are consistent with expectations of a full service hotel.

This hotel is conveniently located for Boston Common and the Freedom Trail sights. It is one block from a T station and most historic sights are within walking distance for anyone who is reasonably fit. However, if you expect a good nights sleep this is not the hotel for you. We had a room on the top floor(15) overlooking Stuart street and the traffic noise was truly appalling. There seems to be a tunnel effect created by the buildings and traffic noise therefore travelled up to us and sounded as though we were right in the street. Sirens, cars and motorbikes revving their engines at the traffic lights, cars with music played at full volume, big trucks - we had everything. Over the weekend the noise was constant until 2.00 or 3.00am. During the weeknights it was marginally less. Our room was pleasantly decorated, but the pillows on the bed had no stuffing to speak of, and the shower had little water pressure and the temperature fluctuated regularly. Reception service was a bit hit and miss- depended who you got on the desk, but the rooms were serviced really well. We didn’t eat in the hotel - it seemed overpriced- so we breakfasted at Tatte - a superb cafe one block away. If you have to stay in a Marriott hotel in Boston, try the one on the Wharf. It cannot be as noisy as this one Read less
