• Excellent, helpful staff. Convenient location.
• Room was small and located near indoor pools - hallway smells strongly of chlorine.

“Excellent, helpful staff. Convenient to the train - and they offer a shuttle. Great hotel overall.”

• No safes in rooms.

“Excellent location close to the riverside plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Nice white duvet covers on quilt; clean neat appearance comfortable room temperature on arrival and throughout the night without any noise factor.”

• Hotel is clean, with fresh decor. Service is friendly.
• Service in the bar was so-so.

“Hotel was recently renovated. Clean, and in the main nicely decorated. Access was easy, service in the restaurant was good. Views over a lake were very nice.”

• Convenience.
• Congestion, ice skating group loud and took over the pool.

“The area where our room was basement level. An ice skating camp was there and were loud and invasive. Chaperones were worse than the girls. No shampoo, soap etc. Outside door did not open with room key, making very inconvenient. Hot tub was filthy. Coffee condiments brought upon request room change request denied. No sleep. Internet was $10 per day. This was not a typical Marriott experience, disappointing.”

• Very nice. The registration person was superb and we had a room with a drop dead view of the river.
• Everything was just fine.

“I highly recommend it. Ask for a room with a view of the river.”

• Good location, nice pool and gym.
• The beds were very soft and shower was dirty.

“This is a beautiful hotel. There was actually hair on the shower floor and it looked grimy. The beds were too soft. Because of the shower primarily, it kind of colored everything else.”

• Great location, clean rooms.
• No refrigerator in room.

“Our room was clean. Beds very comfortable. Room had a great view of the river and you can sit on the balcony and watch Kayaks. Hotel is 2-3 minutes from major interstate. Nice indoor pool area.”

“Extremely helpful staff, excellent location and nicely re-done rooms made this hotel a great bargain.”

• Convenient to everything without the noise of downtown.
• Room had fruit flies that were less annoying than changing my room would have been.

“Shortly after settling into my room late night I noticed several very small flies crossing my television viewing angle. I really did not want to have someone spray the room and I really did not want to gather my belongings and with some discussion at the front desk change rooms. So this frequent camper just went to sleep. Not what I would expect from Marriott. I did mention the flies to the front desk and I will note that the clerk did say I am sorry about that.”

• Nicely furnished room, comfortable bed, great room service.
• Alarm clock went off, should have been shut off by housekeeping before arrival!

“Overall great experience. Friendly front desk staff. Nicely furnished room. Great room service, quick and tasty. The only unpleasant surprise of stay was the alarm clock blaring early in the morning. It should have been shut off by housekeeping before my arrival.”

• Located right on the Charles River in a beautiful park like setting. When renovations are complete it will be 4 stars.
• It was under renovation, but this was not an issue, our room was new.

“Beautiful setting on the Charles River. Almost unbelievably natural setting. Swans, ducks, geese, rowers going by. Although seemingly surrounded by highway it was quiet and all you saw out the back was beautiful scenery. Right off 90 and 95. You cannot beat this place for the price especially being 20 minutes from Bean Town. Will go back for sure. Many room options including river side patio, more $ but worth it.”

• The room was very clean.
• The bed was dressed in all feathers. The staff was not helpful in correcting this matter. I am allergic to feathers.

“The Marriott was very nice and clean. However, there were a few things we were unhappy about. First, we ended up with two full size beds. I am 7 months pregnant and my husband and I had to sleep in separate beds. Also, I am allergic to down. It would have been nice to know this hotel uses down mattress pads, comforters and pillows. We asked that the bed be changed. A staff member came down with 2 sheets and a thin blanket; we had to remake the bed ourselves. He did not even bring a mattress pad.”

• Gave me no trouble when I checked-in!
• No wireless internet access. Oatmeal not hot enough, too thick.

“Other than not having wireless, the hotel was comfy, cozy and efficient. Room was clean. Bed was very comfortable.”

• The best gym I have seen for a long time!
• The beds are not in a good condition (too soft) and the room carpet was not very clean.

“It is a good hotel at a nice location with excellent facilities, especially the gym and indoor swimming pool. The rooms are nice and convenient but would need some refreshment of the furniture and carpets. The sound insulation from other rooms and the hallway is not good enough.”

• Chocolates in my room.
• Not the best beds and Internet not provided free.

“The Marriot Newton-Boston must have been a most prestigious hotel at one time, but in my two times staying with this establishment I've found the rooms old and worn, beds not updated, walls and doors are thin and can be heard through, air system difficult to get right temp, TV's smaller and no free internet.”

• Nicely appointed rooms
• Hallways smelled moldy

“Nice hotel, but older. I was put on the first (ground) floor, and the hallways smelled moldy although the room was fine.”

• Loved the boating theme in the restaurant because the hotel is located at the top of the Charles river.
• The room where the food is located for the Sunday brunch is small.

“I felt welcome the moment I stepped up to the front door-being greeted by the doorman. I was treated warmly by the front desk, and I felt like I was at home when I laid my head on the very soft pillows and slept on the very comfortable bed. I will definitely stay at this hotel again.”
