Marriott Properties in Boston

The room was great. Clean, stocked with all necessary things like shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Would have liked a hairdryer but didn’t see one. The state of the building was a mess though. Major renovations left the first impressions lacking with the “front desk” stuck on the 3rd floor in a conference room. This made dragging my bag through an additional hurdle unhelpful. Renovations are often unavoidable but they should come with informing all guest about them prior to a booking a room. My room looked out onto a huge hole in the ground due to construction on the opposite side of the street. Also not ideal. Views from the lift were nice though.

Right in the heart of Back Bay, super convenient for getting anywhere. There's a huge Star Market supermarket next door, so you can grab any food, drinks, or daily essentials in about 3 minutes. This Marriott is just an average Marriott – nothing special, nothing bad, so don't expect too much. No mini-bar though.

I would have thought for nearly $300 a night the hotel would have had a hot tub but they didn’t. Not only did they not have a hot tub but I was charged $60 for one person to partake it the breakfast buffet! At Chechen I was told I wouldn’t receive any Bonvoy points either because I booked through trip.com which was supposed to be a room with a harbor view. The view was scant and overall stay was a total disappointment.
