Courtyard Hotels in Boston

We stay at a lot of Marriotts, and weren't terrible impressed by this one. We spent the night before leaving on a cruise in the morning. We checked in early (which we appreciated) because we had an overnight flight. The room was fine, but the bathtub needs a professional grouting and to be resurfaced. It looks like it was done by someone who didn't know what they were doing, sloppy and peeling. Being near the airport, the late-night flights made for a noisy night. Construction work being done at night also contributed lots of truck-backing-up noise, plus close-by traffic. The biggest disappointment was the restaurant offered only the buffet option at $21 or Continental breakfast at $19, and the Platinum Elite status only offered a $10 credit. The buffet was at best a $10 value, so we ended up going back to the front desk and taking the points instead. It was an insult to be expected to pay an additional $11 for some scrambled eggs, bacon and potatoes considering that the other choices were all carbs (waffles, pancakes, cereal, fruit, pastries, etc). If I'm going to have a $21 breakfast it would be at a real restaurant with omelets, quiches and other menu offerings.

The roads around the hotel are narrow and public transportation is very convenient. The sound of the heater in the room is a bit loud. No free drinking water.

This location was excellent for experiencing many of the historic sites in Boston. A short walk to Boston Common, and many great dining options within walking distance. Overnight parking is a bit steep ($60/night). The valet and front desk staff were all pleasant to speak to, respectful and kind. The room itself has one of the heaviest doors I've ever had to use in a hotel. Really takes some muscle! Despite this, the door didn't block the hallway sound, especially since we were right across from the ice maker. The room was small but not unreasonable. The bed was comfortable, and there was a refrigerator, but it was awkwardly placed on the floor next to the desk. It stuck out from the space so was odd. There was no microwave, but a shared microwave near the ice maker. There was a desk and chair, as well as a couple of drawers. The closet was small, but had an ironing board and iron, as well as a luggage holder. The bathroom was small, and had a sliding door, which we did not like at all. All sound was heard, which is not pleasant. There also was no exhaust fan. The slider into the shower was very narrow to enter. The water pressure was good, but it was very easy to get water everywhere in this bathroom. There was a good amount of counter space for us to set our things, as well as an outlet for hair products. The TV was large and worked well for us. There is no included breakfast, but there is breakfast offered onsite for a fee. We had the Saturday breakfast buffet for $26/person. We had custom made omelets, as well as waffles and bagels. Lots of options, with serving staff to bring beverages and anything else you may need. A little steep in the cost, but a good breakfast. This was our first visit to Boston, and will probably be the last one we take driving on our own, so having the option to park and walk to places was welcome.

The hotel is a little out of the way from downtown Boston, but the Andrew subway station is 10 minutes away. It is attached to a shopping area with restaurants, Nike Factory, Target, Macy's.... The rooms are very good and clean, and the hotel staff is very friendly. From the airport you can go with the Silver Line and 2 subway stops. They also have a paid shuttle to the airport. The beach 10 minutes walk. To be visiting all day is great
