We visited Boston for a family reunion and received a very reasonable block group rate on the suites Excellent location, close to public transportation, and the staff were super friendly and accomodating The Gym is clean and has the equipment I wanted

There is a Wednesday social with appetizers in the dining area Beautiful outdoor patio with a grill to relax with family and/or friends Breakfast is good, free parking and a restaurant a few steps away The suites are spacious and clean Had a wonderful stay Will not hesitate to stay here again

Mary Lee & Troy Brawley

Great location if visiting Cambridge or Arlington The availability of a restaurant and drugstore next door was a plus Room was clean and comfortable

While we did not use these amenities, we were impressed to see a nice exercise space and laundry facility Love that it is pet friendly even though this visit we did not bring our dog The proximity to family will make this hotel quite useful to us in the future

We’ve been to this hotel three times Every time we had a great time! If I could clone this hotel and take it with us everywhere we go, I would Here’s what we like about it:- rooms with two queen beds and a living-room space with couch, chairs, Tv, and working kitchen

it’s like an Airbnb that you don’t have to clean when you check out-every time we needed something, they accommodated us (eg, check out late; they offered the breakfast for our guests for free; one of on kids had an accident on the sheets, no worries here’s new everything without any negative commentary)-the breakfast is free and decently diverse-there is a laundry room and a gymThe only thing I wish they had was a working restaurant during the day so we can have lunch and dinner there and not have to make it a trip around town with our kids for food We didn’t have a car on these trips so a restaurant in the hotel would have helpedOverall, from us, a clear recommendation!Thank you!

I was quite disappointed with my experience Rude desk clerks, broken elevators, too expensive breakfast buffet ($1499) that would have been just okay if it was complementary

I was shocked to find out only when I arrived that they charge $20 per car per night on top of your room charge just to park at the hotel Our keycards barely worked in any of the card readers and required up to 10 swipes in the elevator before it worked We saw this with multiple guests, and it became a joke when multiple people were in the same elevator car, with everyone trying their own cards before we found one that worked The card slot for our room was only marginally better It was an issue with everyone, and the front desk never mentioned it was an issue Bed was comfortable but only had a paper thin blanket sandwiched between two sheets That’s a sheet on top of the blanket; it was odd There’s a massive construction project directly across the street that was very noisy but not nearly as noisy as the typhoon of a heater in the room Even with earplugs, my wife and I awoke several times There were also strangely zero pamphlets, menus, local guides, TV guides, hotel amenities/directories, or even a Bible in the room I won’t stay here again

Jennifer Kivi

Good location but VERY noisy and small bed!! The location is great and not far from downtown Boston The lobby was nice looking and check in was easy The “king suite” we had booked had a full-sized bed (not the relaxing accommodation one hopes for)

It was very easy to hear hallway noise and people in other rooms Additionally, they had large truck deliveries occur around midnight 2 nights we were there, which led to very loud banging as they moved large items on/off the truck

Kristen

I am a travel nurse and stayed here for an extended stay I had an amazing experience! The front desk workers were always welcoming and helpful (especially with helping me find a subway route to my hospital) Cleaning service always did a wonderful job and the man who works at the buffet/dinner was always so friendly to everybody who came in!

My best friend and I stayed for the weekend for a concert in June We had a fabulous time! We got into town super late, the restaurant being open later really helped us out! I will say the tacos that I got there were pretty bland for my liking, but everything else was great The hotel is currently finishing some renovations with the rooms, they let us know at the desk that we got a renovated room

The room was sleek and very nice, the shower was probably the best part alongside the comfortable beds! In room dining was also very convenient for us while getting ready and getting back to the hotel late The hotel lobby also connects you to two shopping centers which we enjoyed exploring We will definitely be back!

Heather Brown

Had a wonderful stay! Was here for work and enjoyed every minute The rooms are outdated but they were clean and comfortable and the staff were absolutely wonderful from housekeeping to the gentleman who checked me in / out I wish I could remember his name because he was very friendly and helpful! Also had a wonderful experience with the FedEx Business Center and that was super convenient in the hotel

Loved all of the restaurants and shops within walking distance Great location, would stay again!

Make sure to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a hotel This website will compare thousands of booking websites and normally will have rooms a lot cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This resort is one of the most well known in the area

I have been coming here for years If you stay for a few nights you won’t be disappointedBeautiful views and beautiful building There’s 38 floors and 9 high-speed elevators Nice workout facility and indoor swimming pool doesn’t seem crowded No hot tub but the showers can double as baths I lived here for about a year as my college used a few floors for student housing (I know, nicest dorm ever) Never had a problem with staff or housekeeping Tip: park in the Copley Garage (which is attached to the building), don’t park in the Mariott’s self parking

Stayed here for two nights and it was the best hotel experience I have ever had AC in my room worked great, and my bed was so comfortable that I bought a new mattress when I got homeI enjoyed the rainfall shower head, but it could have used a little more water pressure for my taste

The person in the room above me on my first night had heavy feet and I could hear them stomping around before I fell asleep and again in the morningThe breakfast is a little pricey at $19, but there is a great assortment of pastries, high quality deli meats, cheeses, Nutella, jellies, fresh fruit, egg dishes, cooked to order eggs and more The staff was absolutely wonderful and I felt pampered I was offered seconds on my eggs, coffee to take with me, and even a pastry or fruit for my drive on my last morning thereIt was nice to not have to leave the hotel for breakfast My only complaint is that the coffee is strong AF! I asked and was told it was StarbucksIf I need to stay in the North Boston area again, I will definitely stay at this hotel

John

Arrived at a late night and front desk was quite cold and couldn’t bother to speak at all No explanation of the breakfast time, no explanation of the parking rules and the fact that they would validate the ticket for you if you park in the parking structure in front of them( not until I asked) She was on a personal call while she was checking me in and she assigned me a accessible room

This particular room was pretty used and not very easy to use ( water will spill to the floor of the bathroom as an example) Room was not very clean as well Room was on lower floor close to traffic side, the background noise was pretty loud in this room I asked for another room the second morning with another front desk, and it turned out there were plenty of rooms left and she found another regular one for me very quickly It was in the other side of the building so not as loud, and it was not ADA room and was very clean So here is the question: I did not ask for an ADA room or have put it anywhere in my reservation, why was I assigned to that room the first time? I hope this was not intentional And if not, make sure your room selection system, whether manual or not, can avoid this type of mistakes in the future I would not leave this comment here if it was not a branded hotel like Marriott, one would assume the personnels are more professional I would give this hotel a 5 star if not the experience I had during check in and first night of stay

Allison Morgan

Really clean, sleek and modern looking hotel Thoughtfully designed in terms of outlets, small seating area in room, etc Location is great

Staff friendlyDownsides: you could hear noise from other rooms and planes overhead in the AM Coffee supplies in room were lackingOverall would stay here again Great value for a really nice room

This hotel is dirty, with poor service and dishonest practicesWe paid $ 560/night for a room with king size bed Instead we were given a tiny dirty room with a queen bed with dirty sheets; there was a dirty sock in the bed, from the previous guest

Also the sheets had make-up stains The side table was stained, the bathroom was dirty, there was no hand soap in the bathroom A request for some shower gel to wash my hands with turned into a major problem with the front desk clerk The room had a very noisy refrigerator, the walls were badly stained The entire place looks dirty, tiered and unkempt, truly not by any means a Hilton No person should be subjected to such a treatment They should shut down this hotel for a complete revamp including the management!

Mark Russell

Decent location and very friendly employees The hotel very much is missing on most points Absolutely not a value at the price they’re asking and regret our stay

The rooms are quite old and dated, our window was cracked, peeling paint, cracked outlets, a bit of a mess Will say the bathroom was decent and where they concentrated on the last renovation Could have and should have gone further, will look elseware next visits to the area

Benji Stone

We showed up in Cambridge not knowing what to expect Noah was at the front desk and made our stay absolutely perfect Helped get us amazing reservations for dinner, set us up with a beautiful room

After learning it was our anniversary, Noah made sure to make it special by having rose petals, charcuterie board, sparkling water! Will definitely be back! Amazing team! Thank you

A truly unique and pleasure to stay! From the moment you arrive you experience a unique musical experience with retro nostalgia from various music artists Cole, Annette and Chris at the front desk were so welcoming and friendly They took care to be sure we enjoyed our stay during the concert

I absolutely loved listening to vinyl albums in our room on the turntable The rooms was comfortable, clean and conveniently located to do many excellent restaurants Would definitely stay here again the next time we’re in Boston

The actual hotel was lovely, the room was clean, the staff was amazing But DO NOT eat or drink at this hotel One of the night desk employees went on and on about how amazing the breakfast was, online it said it was 20 a person

My family was on board to try it We got there at 830, on the weekends they open at 8 The food was BARELY warm It was powered eggs, bacon, sausage and some potatoes The pastries were are frozen and thawed The “chef special” was perhaps the grilled zucchini? It was a pitiful breakfast spread The coffee literally assaulted my mouth it was so burnt and bitter Than the second pot was a watery mess They brought us the bill and it was 31 bucks an adult and 10 for my 6 year old I spent 100 bucks on a breakfast spread that was no better than the free breakfast at a comfort inn And the wine prices?! Holy hell 2 glasses of wine cost over 55 dollars! And we didn’t get super fancy wine I looked up the prices on both and I basically paid for the price of the bottle with one glass Not worth the money I literally bought a 1299 for a bottle of wine that tasted just as good Great hotel, horrible pricing on mediocre food

Jessica Bailey

I booked this hotel specifically because it had a pool and hot tub While the room was as expected, bed comfortable

the pool left MUCH to be desired Bottom line, it was gross The pool water was brown legit brown Not to mention the yellow scum-line The hot tub was the same but be sure to add the floating hair balls and no joke, large sand/dirt granules covering the bottom As if it has never been vacuumed So disgusted and disappointed! All that said, the pool gets 0 stars (negative if that were possible) but the front desk staff were very nice, helpful at check in Oh, and paying almost $50/night for parking on top of the room charge is ABSOLUTE RIDICULOUS!! If I wanted to get real petty, I could also mentioned that the TV had no guide so you have to click into each channel to see what’s on Ugh Probably will NOT stay here again sure I can find something better than this in BostonI do not recommend this hotel if you are interested in the pool area

Nik Rama

I absolutely love this hotel in Boston Staff are extremely helpful, and rooms and amenities are kept pristine The food served in the restaurant is excellent, and we grabbed several pizzas from there throughout our stay

Next to the check in area, there is a great place for cold food and snacks as well as a professional coffee machine Hilton diamond members get $18 credits per person per day for up to two people This means you are able to use your credit on any snacks or restaurant foodI really like that they have an indoor pool which is excellent and a pretty good sizeThey have four elevators that are really fast, and the close and open door buttons are extremely responsive The elevators have glass windows pointing inwards so that you could see the entire hotel as you go up and downOne of the best parts is that they have a free shuttle bus every hour that will take you to certain locations This is excellent if you need to be dropped off near the Harvard area and I don’t want to deal with finding an Uber or LyftOverall, this was a great hotel and a great experience and I would stay here again

We enjoyed a most excellent stay in every way! The accommodations are modernistic yet quite comfy and cozy The pool is extraordinary! Here it was, the middle of winter, and I felt like I was vacationing on a dreamy tropical island The water was so warm and inviting and there was no lack of fresh, thick, thirsty towels available poolside

Perhaps best of all was the kind, courteous, and caring hotel staff Each member was uncommonly gracious The lobby Starbucks was also a true winner! Just an awesome hotel experience in every way and aspect!

Tsuharesu P

The view from my room was good, the bed was really comfortable, and the desk with Herman Miller chairs was really good The pool was good if you want to relax as well, good size when there are not many people aroundAs a normal hotel room it’s fine, but I don’t think it was worth the very high price

The lever to open the shower fell the first time I opened it and the toilet had running water until I opened the water tank and fixed the seal myself The blind was really hard to open so it stayed close most of the time

Diana Sánchez

The location of this hotel, halls and pools are great It has also a nice gym The service was also very gentle and the room was large with a good view to the river

However, several points are not expected from a hotel that charge more than 400 dollars per night: the premises are already showing signs of aging, I stayed for an entire week and not even once my room was cleaned (hotel policy), the shower has no preassure and takes ages for the hot water to come out, there is no breakfast area only a Starbucks where you can buy coffee and some snacks, the room lacks basics for a such a extensive hotel as a water cooker or a decent coffee makerIt seems cost reduction has been the policy now for that hotelIt is in general a good hotel but definitely overpriced

Encore is a beautiful establishment and a great destination for a day, night or a weekend stay The rooms are very modern and aesthetically pleasing but they are a little small The suites have the same issue but they surely have an incredible view

The staff is great in some areas such as the wait staff, cleaning and customer care but the staff on the floor could use more training in customer service and hospitality You will find most table games to be full on a Friday or Saturday but on any other day you can find a seat at most tables I recommend the high roller area depending on how you play The slots are definitely top of the line and a lot of fun (if you’re one of those people who just loves throwing $100 bills in the trash) with a wide variety to choose from Dining is definitely a 5 star experience All of the restaurants are large portions and priced fairly for a casino There aren’t a ton of amenities like Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun such as pools and steam rooms go but they do have a very well trained massage and spa staff which can be great after a long run I would recommend planning out your stay rather than just going with no reservation Overall I give Encore 4 stars out of 5 and besides a few very small things, closer to a 45 I hope you enjoy your day, night or stay here as much as I do

Jason Sargent

This casino is absolutely gorgeous! I’ve been to many casinos all over the country and in my eyes this easily compares to the best of themI only visited for a few hours, but was impressed with the size, layout and offerings found here Lots of table games (they were packed so the limits were a bit high for me) tons of slots, a sports book and bar and several restaurants from quick service to fine dining

Parking was free (apparently that was a point of contention for a while?) and plentiful in the garage below the casino with elevators straight to the casino It was refreshing to be in a non-smoking casino—that was a first for meService seemed to be easy to find, though I don’t drink so I didn’t need a server for anything I did see them walking by quite a bit, and several asked if I needed anythingNow I did get the luckiest I’ve ever been in my life with slots–which is not the norm by any means, so it helps that I left way up, but as always I started with a budget If you’re going to gamble be smart, plan on losing and never gamble more than you can afford to lose Have fun! Should be easy in such a nice place!

Brad W

The rooms are just incredible Luxury, luxury, luxury Everything is high quality, smart-connected, clean, comfortable

The bathroom is enormous, especially the soaking tub The bed I didn’t want to go back to my own bed after sleeping on that thing Best night of sleep I’ve had in months This was my second stay and we opted to spend an extra $40 for a harbor view and it was 100% worth it Watching the sun set over the city and the water is magical Service is fantastic, though of course the minibar and room service are very expensive But there’s a free water taxi that can take you downtown!Even if you aren’t a gambler and don’t care for the casino, check out the hotel It’s wonderful

The overall aesthetic of the location is welcoming and beautiful The check-in process was effortless and the staff was friendly The room overall was a great space and I loved the under sink lighting of the bathroom

They offer a lounge robe and FULL SIZE shampoo and conditioner, this was a welcome surprise The restaurant was also great, food/drinks/service Will definitely be my go to for future stays

Katherine Rudzki

My now-husband and I stayed here for our wedding week We got a room block for our guests as well The process was easy, and the hotel staff was lovely! Our guests really enjoyed the amenities

We were able to take out a couple of their kayaks onto the Charles, that was an excellent touch There is delicious coffee in the morning at the lobby, and wine hour in the evening! We would definitely recommend the MarloweThe only downsides – there is construction going on next door that started very early (7am!!) Try to get a room that faces outward so you aren’t hearing the noise echo through their courtyard The driveway was also obstructed by cones for the construction, which made it difficult for Uber/Lyft to see the entry Basically, if there wasn’t any construction the stay would have been flawlessThanks again to the staff! They were a great ray of sunshine for our stay

Stayed here for one night over a weekend, and while I wasn’t able to take advantage of some of the hotel’s offerings due to the short stay, I left a little disappointed We stayed in the studio king suite which was spacious and updated, but some of the bathroom fixtures needed some TLC Our room had a connected room and through the connecting door we could hear everything going on in the room next door as if they were actually in our room

Additionally, I ordered a single bottle of wine for room service delivery from the hotel restaurant An hour after I was told it would be up in 15 minutes I had to call down to just cancel it (only after being put on a hold) Not the most inconvenient thing for us, but if we had just checked in after long travels it would not have been a pleasant night

The hotel is fine for the price I paid The staff is super friendly and attentive They went beyond my expectation

Room had the fan inside, but it was not that noisy There was plenty of space in the room Carpet felt a bit outdated – not major concerns though (I personally prefer hotel rooms without carpets) Breakfast was included and it was properly served

The location is great They provide a lot of practical amenities in the lobby which is extremely helpful if you are staying with a familyHowever, there were some concerns as well:We stayed for 13 days and was very difficult to get housekeeping done

They tell you that housekeeping is done every 3rd or 4th day while it mentions on the website ‘ Daily Housekeeping ‘We lost our laptop in their Business Center We asked them to have a look in their security cameras and they kept saying we need approval front their manager who was barely ever at the hotel So the issue still hasn’t been resolved after the incident took place almost 20 days twenty days ago

What a unique (and frankly romantic) experience for myself and my boyfriend We wanted to make a pitstop in Boston on our way to Portland, Maine and thought this would be a fun location to stay We were not disappointed! The staff was super helpful and very polite

We loved our stay on the sailboat The room was nice and felt very cozy The marina itself is super quiet and has a beautiful view of the USS Constitution and harbor Stay here if you want a fun and unique lodging experience!

We spent four nights aboard the Port houseboat What a great place to stay! Melissa and the rest of the staff are friendly and helpful This is a very small guest room but the addition of both the covered and uncovered decks make it seem much roomier

The double bed is super comfy and being on the water rocks you to sleep! This is a great location for visiting Boston as you can walk to many attractions The USS Constitution is just up the street and you can see the historic boat from the end of “your” dock Included with the stay are breakfast coupons for the bakery across the street and some other discounts for a few local restaurants Would absolutely stay there if we visit Boston in the future and would recommend Bed and Breakfast Afloat to anyone planning a holiday to Boston! Loved it!!

My wife and I spent three nights on the Rozinante When we first got inside the cabin, we noticed that the place was a bit shabby and didn’t feel clean, in fact it was down right dirty There was also a strong sewer smell, which kept coming and going throughout our stay that would wake you from your sleep

We reported this and staff did try to fix the problem, but the smell came back My wife was able to use the shower on our first day with no issues But when I tried to use it the following evening, the sump wasn’t working and the water wouldn’t drain properly So, we were told to use the clubhouse shower There was a black mildewy mold substance around the hot tub that wiped off when I touched it Improve cleaning protocol and make sure sump system works properly Not worth $300 per night We stayed here because we are in the market for a sailboat but was a disappointment Also, twice late at night when we were sleeping, someone would sneek on the boat, this was really weird We even put the cable up every night so this wouldn’t happen Lots of improvement needed

Pay for what you getPro: Nice ambiance Unlimited water bottles

Con:- the front desk is understaffed; the guy working was also at the bar entertaining a guest I called several times and then ended up coming downstairs to tell them we had ordered pizza-The exercise room is well equipped with decent equipment and towels, but no wipes I worked out at 11 pm and felt like there was sweat everywhere Also, I don’t know how this particular design was formulated but there is a door stop on the door so make sure you do not painfully stub your toe like me Why didn’t they put it on the wall?- don’t put your hotel room cards by your phone, it will demagnetize We had to reset several times- rooms were 8/10 clean Check your sheets and bring wipes I wiped down the counters and definitely picked up some stuck on funky gunkPro tip: park in back and request room facing back

Bed was not sanitary There were a couple brown stains that housekeeping just put thin sheets over to hide I left the room for the day with the stains showing to make it obvious to them but they just put sheets over it again

House keeping also didn’t replace our shampoo bottles There is no safe in the room for passports Transit is not great in this area, you’ll have to walk 15 minutes to get to a bus stop that can take you to downtown Boston On the plus side the rooms are furnished nicely, the bed is comfortable, and there is free parking, but I don’t know why this hotel has such a high price given the cleanliness

Nice hotel Older building but seems like it has been renovated to stay relevant with the times Rooms were spacious but the bathrooms were pretty small

Rooms were clean and maintained well I was there for a conference and the ballrooms, merging rooms were great spaces for at all the people who attended The food was great considering all the food allergies and special requests (vegan, vegetarian, gluten, etc) I eat everything and I didn’t find myself complaining about the food options I love the omelet station and bacon served on the last day! Can’t go wrong with bacon! They had meat options such as chicken and beef which was nice for those who don’t have any food restrictions Starbucks is on-site which was nice too as their coffee and tea options weren’t the best tasting If I’m ever in the Boston area I’d stay here again even with the prices being higher than other surrounding hotels

My family had an enjoyable experience, during our vacation stay, at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel We had a superior two queen room, with a nice view of the city It appeared to be recently remodeled and was spacious enough for the three of us to move around easily

The beds were very comfortable, the room was clean and well appointed The bathroom was modern – but smallThe staff was very attentive and check in was fast The hotel lobby was lovely The lobby restaurant was convenient – but pricey We decided to eat elsewhere during our stay However, the onsite Starbucks was wonderful and we visited there dailyRather than use the $60 a day valet, we chose to self-park at a nearby garage for about $40 a day Though the garage was old and wasn’t as convenient as we would have liked, it was safe and it seemed that many other guests appeared to do the sameOverall, we had a positive experience and would happily return again

Beautiful hotel in a great area One street over from Boston Common and close to restaurants and pubs Very nice lobby, restaurant and bar inside the hotel

Our room (one king bed) was a little smaller than expected but was nice and clean The bed was comfortable and the room temp was fine I cannot give it 5 stars though because of some room issues we experienced:1 The electrically controlled blinds and curtains did not work well One blind didn’t work right and had to be manually pulled down from a very high window Anybody under six feet tall would not be able to reach it The curtains did not work at all and did not want to stay closed when manually pulled closed so we had to clamp them shut with chip clips2 There was no separation from the shower floor and the rest of the bathroom so water from the shower would flow to the rest of the bathroom unless towels were placed on the floor to dam it Very dangerous as the bathroom floor still became slippery from the water3 The TV did not work properly and would freeze up We were only able to watch a few channels4 While the bathroom was large enough, there was very little counter space

Great location, excellent service! The Boston Marriott Long Wharf is located right next to the New England Aquarium The location is great for catching a dinner cruise or taking a trolley tour, as both are available mere steps from the hotels front entrance The room was clean and fresh, with great bath amenities

The staff was friendly and kind The hotel features an indoor pool with a great outdoor sun deck There is a Starbucks in the lobby and the hotel’s in room dining is excellent!

M O

Excellent location by the water Right next to the acquarium and minutes to the market Rooms were very nice and very clean

Very comfortable bed Team at the front desk were exceptionally caring, nice and professional Try to stay away from rooms by the atrium as sound echoes and travels to your room Pool was not appealing but works well for children Outdoor deck is a plus Hotel has food options and a convenience store

Kathy D

It takes a lot for me to think somewhere is a 5 but this hotel is worth the rating Spectacular location Beautiful updated rooms and great pool

Pool is on the 3rd floor with windows as walls on 3 sides so you feel like you aren’t in a dungeon Doors open out to a deck with chairs, tables and beautiful views and depending on the time of day they serve cocktails Staff was helpful and pleasant Overall would highly recommend this if you are going to Boston

Erica Garrity

Reasonably priced Wonderful to have a kitchen and a target across the street with a Starbucks Hubby was a bit disappointed with breakfast options

Only reason for 4 stars is because there were a few things in our room (203) that weren’t 100%: toilet paper holder is loose so TP fell into trash can or In floor Living room black out curtains didn’t close & towel rack on outside of shower glass came off

Alyssa V

Overall this was a decent hotel and is literally just steps to Fenway There’s lots of amenities like a laundry room, rooftop pool, rooftop bar and lounge area, and a workout roomThe room I had was also fairly nice and it had a full kitchen

I had one or two small issues with the door, the shower, and the lights, but it was all pretty minor and didn’t affect me too much The one thing I didn’t care for was the noise; the doors are really heavy and you can hear them shutting in the hallway which was annoying

Joanne Grieco

Love this hotel – the one bedroom suites give you the best combo of space, kitchenette and cost of any hotel in Boston Super convenient to the Longwood Medical area, contemporary vibe and friendly staff Full breakfast included, and a rooftop terrace for city viewing with a cocktail

No restaurants on site, but the area has many wonderful choices Pet friendly! Will definitely return
