Courtyard by Marriott Boston Hotel

The Courtyard's location in South Boston means it's a little further from the action and sightseeing, but there is a stop on the Red Line "T" within a few blocks for quick access to Cambridge, or with a transfer to the Green Line, to points of interest in greater Boston. The hotel also offers a shuttle to Logan Airport on the half hour. Breakfast is served every morning, and there is a 24-hour fitness center with a pool that is open 6 AM to 11 PM. The hotel is near a sprawling shopping mall with all manner of shops and restaurants. Those driving would be well advised not to enter "63 Boston St" into their GPS devices, even though that is the hotel's physical address - there is no access to the hotel from Boston St. Instead, use 7 Allstate Rd, which is the address of Target in the mall, and the hotel is accessible from there.

There were not enough locations and they gave no advice.

This hotel made me feel important: The courteous service and promptness made you feel special.

The location was in an older part of Boston, more run down, mixed with some newer stores on a main road. The hotel itself was very nice.

This hotel made me feel relaxed: They had cookies at the front desk at night. Also, the front desk help at night was very informative as to the whereabouts of everything for the next day so I was able to rest better at night. The rooms, the bed and chairs specifically, were very comfortable.

I am always very satisfied with this chain and use it exclusively.

The front desk woman was not nice. She was frustrated because of a mix-up and was taking it out on guests. She had no manners to speak of. But the room was very nice; it was clean and comfortable. The bar was also nice. It's about what I expect at a hotel bar.
