Great and convenient location on the Charles with onsite parking. Short taxi, shuttle ride or drive to Harvard and other Squares. Staff is pleasant, approachable and committed to making one's stay enjoyable. Issues are handled immediately. Conveniently located next to Trader Joe's and Starbucks. Casual atmosphere. Rooms are sufficient for the business and casual leisure traveler. Not ideal for the... More

We had a wonderful time in the Boston area. Harvard Square was the closest T. At least a 30 minute walk. Had to pay for the shuttle service so we walked everywhere, which was okay as long as the weather cooperated. We like to walk. Alot to see there. Hotel elevators needed repair work. Room was very nice. Marriott reward... More

Great place to stay, great view of the Charles River, and comfortable room. The breakfast was great and the staff excellent. The breakfast staff were very attentive to our needs and made us feel comfortable. I put a request for an early check in online and when I got there at 8:30 am our room was ready. More

My room was comfortable and quiet - no complaints about that. But since I'm vegetarian, I wasn't able to eat at the hotel because the only on-site restaurant is a sushi grill. It has very limited vegetarian options, and the options available seemed very unappealing. I don't know if they have room service available, but I ruled out room service... More

The room was decent, but the elevators are terrible enough that I wouldn't stay here again unless they renovate them. Our room was reasonably up-to-date, and the view from the 10th floor was quite nice. The amenities that we used were all good; the fitness center had several newish machines, and the business center had two computers and a working... More

My mom and I stayed here last Friday night to today, Sunday. When I went to get a shower at 11pm Friday night the water was freezing cold! It took a good 15 minutes to warm up enough for it to be tolerable. I was chilled the rest of the night and could not get warm enough to sleep well.... More

This is your basic "box" hotel, a Howard Johnson's once upon a time, with all of the lack of imagination that this implies. The rooms are okay - standard bathroom, small fridge, fairly comfy beds and reasonably well insulated. As with most aging properties there were a few glitches. In our case, only one elevator was working, and the public... More

Spent three nights here with a team of 12. Rooms were fine, clean and staff were friendly. Location was good a little outside Boston but we took cabs for a few bucks in the evening into town. Breakfast buffett was well stocked. Can't really find anything negative to say as stay was short and everythnjg worked well. Have no worries... More

I stay at this Courtyard for business once a month. It's a great location on the Charles River and is next to a Trader Joe's grocery store. The Marriott standards are not met in a few ways however: refrigerators are very noisy, parking is expensive @ $32/per night and it could be a little cleaner. Highpoints: Beds are comfortable, service... More
