Well situated with access to the Prudential Center Mall and kind and welcoming staff, but very dated property, with dark common areas and really old rooms that look as if they were last updated 25 years ago, if not more. That isn't to say the room was dirty, as it was tidy and well maintained, but old furniture, lots of wires exposed for different… Read more
Well situated with access to the Prudential Center Mall and kind and welcoming staff, but very dated property, with dark common areas and really old rooms that look as if they were last updated 25 years ago, if not more. That isn't to say the room was dirty, as it was tidy and well maintained, but old furniture, lots of wires exposed for different plugs that are clearly a half hearted attempt to upgrade the amenities to today's standards. Small bathroom, difficult to move around in. Overall though, I was grateful that it was quiet and there was no noise. Would not stay here again or recommend though. Read less

Check your bill closely when you check out and your credit card statements for several months. In September this hotel charged me twice for the same stay, which I had to dispute with the bank for a refund on one charge. Amazingly, they just charged me for the second amount that was not disputed, and has been paid. The customer service… Read more
Check your bill closely when you check out and your credit card statements for several months. In September this hotel charged me twice for the same stay, which I had to dispute with the bank for a refund on one charge. Amazingly, they just charged me for the second amount that was not disputed, and has been paid. The customer service representative told me it was because my roommate never showed up, which wasn't true and she in fact paid for her half on her credit card in September. Then the representative admitted they had the record of her stay but refused to tell me if she had paid, citing privacy laws. I of course will have to dispute this with the bank again. This is far below the quality service I expect as a Mariott member, or that anyone staying at this hotel should expect. Read less

Hi, To everyone who will read this, I spent time in the Boston area with clients, we went from Boston, Cape Cod, Endicott and Hartford. Every hotel I booked for me and my guest was Marriott Bonvoy.

Hi, To everyone who will read this, I spent time in the Boston area with clients, we went from Boston, Cape Cod, Endicott and Hartford. Every hotel I booked for me and my guest was Marriott Bonvoy. I am a Bonvoy member. I worked in the Hospitality Business for Hyatt and Wyndham, I travel a lot during a year. Please avoid this Hotel. The owner does not respect the client when they charge us 695$ plus all the taxes for a night in a room from 1985 with the Bathtub completely chips and repaint maybe more than one time. The door of the room was almost falling a part. I went to the front desk and they are full of inefficiency to fix or to please the client. No rebate, no free meal nothing the only thing she offered to us was Moving to another room. Do you think I will ask my business guest to move when they check in and open their luggages in the room. The front Desk Manager was almost crying in front of me because she can do nothing. My guest were not very impress with the Hotel and Service. I can not tell them that I spent more than 3.5k for 3 rooms 2 nights. The staff at the restaurant and at the bar are 50/50 if you arre lucky you will get someone with a smile. Be a Marriott user and Bonvoy member means nothing for them. You better be an Hyatt member. Regards room number to avoid 2523, 2520, 2521 maybe the entire 25th floor Gaetan Vivier Read less

The condition of the room and bathroom were unacceptable (leaks, scratches, wall cracks, noisy A/C...) for a Sheraton hotel and for the price I paid for this room. This hotel needs a renovation program and it is acknowledged by the staff that cannot address this issue. This is not a place I recommend when you stay in Boston.

Came here for conference. Hotel misrepresented on Marriott website. As a Marriott platinum elite I expected a club lounge -- received email from concierge welcoming me but never mentioned to me that there was no club lounge in hotel. Room was dated with very small bathroom circa 1960. Water in shower not hot. HVAC in room ranged from too hot to cold. Peeling wallpaper in bathroom For my nightly rate of 500-600 dollars come on Sheraton. I stayed at the newly renovated Marriott Copley place in the summer. Basically same price but completely different experience. Pluses for hotel ? Closest hotel to Hynes convention center. That's it Read less
