The 471-room hotel opened in early 2008 as Marriott’s attempt at a boutique-y inn in Boston. That largely still holds, though it’s unlikely the business travelers really notice the boutique part. Read more

Nice rooms and amenities. Fitness center is well-appointed and changing rooms are clean. You have to pay for WiFi, which is a striking drawback to an otherwise great hotel.

Very shallow 3 1/2 foot 2-lane wide 25 yd (maybe meter) lap pool. Nice changing room with showers so if you check out at 11 but your plane or Train doesn't leave till late you can exercise or swim .

Looks like a typical beige business hotel on the outside, and guess what, it is! But it's still clean and well designed and perfectly comfortable.

Good location. One block to the silver line (airport bus). Friendly staff. You can pick up food on ground level to avoid the room service charge. Food served until 11 pm.

Paying for wifi is sooo 10 years ago...lots of free places in Boston...I get to Flour for breakfast and use their wifi...the password is their phone #...with the 617 area code...

A very nice place to stay in Boston. Close to the metro station. The only thing I didn't like is that you have to pay to use wifi. Nice staff!

Probably the best hotel in Boston especially considering it's in the waterfront. Love it here. Never had a bad room.

Staying here means being just a few minutes away from the Faneuli Hall, the Logan Airport, and the Quincy Market. Needless to say, the location is amazing.

I forgot my new earrings on the night table, came 3 hours later. They where gone from the room. William and Raisa from Front desk should be nicer to guests!

We had a short stay but it was lovely. Valets were a little lax compared to other Renaissances - kept having to ask what kind of car (the ticket has a number for a reason...)

For the money and the brand I expected WAY more ☹️. It's clean but that's about all I can say for this place. They skimp on the pillows, no complimentary water and the room looks bland. Boo! ☹️🇺🇸

Really gorgeous but some unfeasible amenities. Wifi for one day was almost $20!!!

I hope you don't get cold because the front desk claims they don't have extra blankets.
