They withhold the fact that they have noisy construction at two close by location until the last minute. The bathroom was dirty with broken shower. The air condition was noisy. Etc.

The lobby is under renovation. The breakfast offered has literally no healthy choices. How about some PLAIN non-sweetened yogurt? Hard boiled eggs? Room was well appointed. Convenient location in Fenway, short walk to T sop and ballpark. Parking is valet only. Which I wish was not the case - prefer self park…but they were fast and efficient. Marriott also needs to rethink snacks available for purchase. People do not want candy bars and potato chips.

Dear Michelle,Thank you for providing us with your honest feedback regarding your most recent stay with us. I apologize for the lack of variety with the breakfast. I am also sorry to hear that the snack we offered at the Market were not good! I understand the frustration of not having healthy choices on the go.Good or bad, we really do appreciate this feedback and want to improve guest experience and satisfaction. I will definitely pass these feedback points along to our team including your feedback regarding the valet.If you can give us another chance in the future, we would love to make your next stay perfect.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Keys to the room didn’t work - issue was never resolved. We were unable to get in at night, or after breakfast in the morning. City view was not city view (either I we saw the parking garage or the building that was being torn down next door). Staff couldn’t care less and had defensive tones instead of understanding. I expressed the inconvenience of our key not working, the city view issue, and I received stoned faces, and accusatory responses insinuating ignorance. Pool on terrace level was under maintenance. Bartender on the terrace was the best part of our stay.

Dear Lauren,Let me first say I understand how frustrating this experience must have been. You paid good money to stay with us and did not receive the service you deserve. I sincerely apologize for these issues and rest assured they will be addressed right away. I hope you give us another chance in the future to make up for this.

The staff is fantastic, from welcome to valet to breakfast!! Very kind and courteous! Love the easy accessibility to MassArt and Fenway. Hotel parking is very expensive at $65/night and the room wasn’t overly clean (there was a used Zicam nasal swap in the garbage can and hairs in the sink area).

The appearance in some parts of this hotel looked disorganized due to construction, but don’t be fooled…this is a top notch place to stay.
