It is a perfect place to stay in Boston close to shopping and dining, in the heart of Newbury street. However, there is no elevator so check the floor you are staying in advance.

The room was in a great location and access was straightforward. The living area and bathroom was good although the kitchen had nothing to cook in apart from a microwave. The best was comfortable and the room spacious but the room we had overlooked an alley where bins seemed to be collected at 4am everyday which was not really conducive to sleep. The blinds also didn't do much so we didn't have the best night's sleep. This is a brilliant location and was really easy to communicate with so I don't want to put anyone off, but just be aware of the noise and light pollution and the lack of cooking equipment

Ants in room with 2 rolls of toilet paper for one week stay. Tried to communicate this information but no action taken. Loud noise in the evenings and early mornings. Good location.

This was a nice little apartment for my short stay.Other than the stairs which I didn’t know about until just before I arrived, it was exactly as described. Clean and nicely decorated. It is a little loud in the neighborhood but even that was addresses with the amenities. I would definitely use again.

Hotel does not have an elevator

I realized the hotel doesn’t have an elevator once they assigned my room and shared I needed to walk up to the third floor. They were not able to accommodate an accessible room and would not refund my cancelation. Beware. This was not listed in any of the reviews. I am virtually certain this detail was omitted on the property details when I booked. It is now listed under accessibility. They should call this what it is - a walk up apartment. I expect more from a Marriott property!

Close to restaurants, coffee shops, and retail

Comfortable, functional, and clean suite. While no reception and consierge on site, they have have a good chat option for questions and lockers to store luggage. Great area with lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and retail. The bedroom had a sound machine and sleep mask in case street noise and light becomes an issue.
