Stayed at the Marriott Copely Place for a business meeting. Was there by myself thus I don't have a great feel for how this property would work for tourist or a family vacation.

Pros:

1. Nice rooms with large functional bathrooms.

2. Great bed

3. Good location - in Boston business district but close to many good restraunts and shopping.

4. Hotel sports bar (Champions) stays open late for Boston.

Cons

1. Not real close to North End or Boston Commons but this is Boston so nothing is really that far away.

2. Parking is VERY expensive.

3. Elevators can be slow during peak times.

Ran the Boston Marathon this past weekend and this place was great. Central location, everything you could ask for, connected to an amazing mall, tons of food options, and really nice beds.

I would stay here again in a second!

Parking is expensive, so factor that into the budget!

Very nice hotel. Check in was very fast and efficient. I was offered a two queen room, but asked for a king and the clerk cheerfully fulfilled my request. I booked the room on Priceline, but didn't get the "Priceline Treatment" you sometimes get at other hotels. Room service was pretty good. Loved the French Onion Soup. :-) The location is great with easy access to the Hynes Center, shopping, and restaurants.

I stayed here for one night during a business trip. Check in was a breeze and the room was great. Super clean and comfortable. The bed and linens were amazing. Food was good, Room service was on-time and staff were friendly.

The only downside was that I would have liked a 3pm checkout since I arrived at midlight the night before and had a 7pm flight that next day. They would only give me a 1pm check out. It would have been nice to have the room a little bit linger to nap in. Many hotels will give a 3pm check out if you ask for it.
