Solo Traveller · Sep 2026

We'd return

Liked:Safe and convenient location.

Disliked:The elevator would not take us to the.3rd floor which is where our room was. We told the front desk immediately before even going to our room, we took the stairs which we didn't mind but handicapped and elderly folks may have an issue. We went to a Red Sox game and when we returned, it still didn't work, told the front desk again. A few broken lights in our room and the front desk did not answer the phone when we tried to call for information...it rang 20 times, I hung up and tried again and waited 15 rings. Other than those issues, we was a good place to stay.

Nice Hotel, But Not My Favorite Location

Liked:The property is clean, new, and modern. Comfortable rooms & really nice staff. I called ahead to request a room facing Whole Foods instead of the highway and they accommodated the request. We also had an excellent check in & check out with Amy. Breakfast is $21 pp and not included for platinum elites. The $25 daily destination fee included one $25 breakfast credit, two T passes, and two tickets up to the View (highly recommend). I also chose a $10 F&B credit as a platinum welcome gift and applied it to our breakfast for two. The hostess was attentive and the food was fine for an AC. Despite having “Downtown” in its name, the hotel actually sits at the edge of the South End on the Ink Block right next to the highway. You walk through Chinatown to get to Downtown Boston. Same if you’re walking the 1.5 miles to the Seaport. Fine during the day, but sketchy returning at night. No security or bellman in the lobby, but you need to swipe a room key to ride the elevator. Unfortunately, I had to file a missing stay report with Marriott Bonvoy in order to get the points and credit for my stay.
