It was a 4.5 star stay. Clean hotel with modern room design, large suite. First time in a US hotel I could open one window just a bit with a safety mechanism-and I loved that fresh air. Room service every 2-3 days only. Parking is paid. Breakfast was basic but okay. The price of the stay was reasonable for the area-and we would return in the future. Overall we were happy. Special thanks to the front desk staff for receiving our packages.

There was no floor mat for the shower/bathroom, and I slipped on standing water late at night and hit my head very hard.

There was rust on the shampoo and conditioner bottles, stains on the chair, and the room was supposed to have a full kitchen but just had a microwave and mini fridge I was only here for one night so the kitchen wasn’t a big deal for me

Everything was good. Owner was very helpful for your requests. Place was clean and furnitures was new. Room was bigger than I expected. My only complain is parking prices. It’s a huge hotel middle of the road and there is nothing else you can park other than hotel parking lot. And I’ve never paid parking in any other Marriotts. They charge $14 for per night. I know it’s nothing crazy but there is no sign in anywhere in the parking lot. Then they tell you they will charge for parking after you settled. That’s kinda funny because no one will care about extra $14 but this guys tryna make money even from your car. Thanks anyway!

The property and the room is well maintained, clean and looks fairly new. The breakfast could be better, hot food selection was limited to only turkey sausages and what looks like a glorified bagel bites with cheese and bacon bits. I was told there were scrambled eggs earlier in the morning but were all gone by 8am and wasn’t replenished. I also have difficulty understanding the front end staff on duty who checks us in.

Check-in was quick. Staff were very courteous. The hotel was modern and the main lobby and hallways were very clean. But we had a problem with the schedule of tool cleaning. We checked in on a Friday and presumed our room would be cleaned and made-up daily because we were not informed otherwise at check-in. We called reception late Saturday because the room was not made-up, and were informed that the service was every other day. On Sunday, however we ere informed that there was no room cleaning that day. It was only after I complained Monday morning that the room was finally cleaned later that day. Otherwise, the hotel is conveniently located a few minutes from the main highways. There is really nowhere to stroll or walk close by. Grocery store and restaurants are a 5-minute drive.

The hotel decor is modern, and the room was well equipped, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was standard free hotel fare. The problem is that the hotel sits right on a highway and they obviously did not consider the noise when they put in windows that hardly block it at all, for this reason I would not chose this hotel again.

Soooooo noisy! Ceiling paper thin. I would have gotten better rest lying out in the streets! Infrastructure was complete garbage. Also each day I needed to get key card reactivated several times each day because they allegedly get deactivated for no reason.

Our room was an accessible one, so huge. Love the kitchen and full fridge/freezer; was able to utilize it to make dinner with my haul from the Haymarket. The bed was comfortable, and my son slept fine on the sofa bed. It was convenient to the places we were heading around Boston. The price was pretty good. I don't agree with the concept of charging for parking when there is a full open parking lot on the premises (it makes some sense for an inner city location with limited space), but we were able to have two cars without an extra fee. Breakfast was fine, but I would have liked to see eggs (not just hard boiled) instead of or in addition to French toast for those who want choices not full of sugar and other carbs. The woman who checked us in was efficient but not very friendly (didn't even tell us the room number), but the man who was on the desk later was very personable.

We had worst experience staying at this hotel, whole night there was disturbance with foot steps, running and bed moving from room upstairs us. We could not sleep. I do not recommend this hotel for families with kids.
