Aggressive Housekeeping
The hotel was fine, accommodations were good. The only negative was housekeeping banging on the door at 9:00 am (Sunday morning) inquiring whether they could clean the room. Check out was 12 pm (noon), thought that was somewhat aggressive. L

We enjoyed the park setting. The comfortable and modern hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful especially Mike. He went above and beyond to welcome us to Boston. We would definitely stay here again.

7 September 2024
The property (landscaping was nice & clean). However the maid took our bath towels, wash cloths & hand towels and did not replace them. They couldn't print out our airline tickets (the lines weren't working properly). They couldn't give us a wake-up call, they said their phones weren't working. The restaurant didn't serve lunch at all. They was urine on the toilet seat in my daughter's room when she first arrived. I told them at the front desk, they said they would send someone up to clean it and never did! Disgusting and inexcusable!!!!

2 September 2024
We’ve stayed at this property many times before but it has gone downhill since our last time there a year ago. The staff seems lost and the front desk is a joke, nobody knows what’s going on. In the evening they had Fox News on at the bar area in this huge TV, I had to ask an employee to switch it to something else, anything! I don’t think a hotel should have that kind of upsetting programming forced on guests! Have HGTV on or sports! Anything but Fox! Come on! This is a Marriott hotel I expected better. The breakfast I paid for through my reservation was so frustrating because they keep trying to charge you for it again! I’m still fighting over an $80 charge for breakfast that is in error! I do not recommend this hotel, I will not stay there again.
