“Everything a little creaky”

Courtyard by Marriott Boston Tremont Hotel

Jun 27, 2008

I extended a conference visit for leisure and moved downtown for a couple of nights at the Courtyard Marriott at the end. Have stayed at the Marriott several times but never at the Courtyard. I was disappointed. Yes, it is downtown but I did not found the location so completely fabulous.

The rooms are ridiculously small (and this is a European saying this!). There was a kingsize bed but this left very little room for anything else. The desk and wardrobe were jammed up against the window so I could not even properly look out the window.

It is an old hotel taken over by the Courtyard and adding just a signature red Marriott carpet does not make a hotel room or a hotel. It was all a bit creaky from the slightly wobbly lift to the periodically gurgling toilet. The airconditioning is pre-preprogrammed for all the rooms according to the "New England weather", so you are left with the options of high, low or off with no temperature adjustment.

I checked out a lot of hotels online before choosing this one and this was the best one of its class that I could find (or so I thought) but still 250 dollars + tax ( it was midweek) was way too much for what I got.

“Courtyard Marriott always the best”

Courtyard by Marriott Boston Tremont Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Alexandria VA
Jun 26, 2008

I always enjoyed staying in any Courtyard or any other Marriott chain. This one is well and conveniently located in downtown and close to chinatown. Boston Common is one block away, faneuil hall and Quincy market are only 10 mn walk. I had a clean double room in the 10th floor overlooking tremont street with free wired internet. The service was great and breakfast reaonably priced was outstanding. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Boston.

“Convenient, efficient, friendly”

Courtyard by Marriott Boston Tremont Hotel

Jun 9, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

My wife had booked this hotel for a business trip weeks before I came across the reviews. We followed the suggestion to book a higher room, we were given a room on the 11th floor. The staff was very nice to us especially to our 14month old son. The location is great and the rooms weren't as small we had expected them to be.

Room: Large enough for 3 guests (including one child)
Bathroom: Clean and spacious.
Location: Near the commons and lots of places to eat. Chinatown is one block away and Children's museum within walking distance.
Staff: Very nice and accommodating.

The only flaw may have been the noise, we heard a lot of police activity at night and construction during the day, however, we had no problems with sleep.

“good location for first time in Boston”

Courtyard by Marriott Boston Tremont Hotel

4 of 5 stars

Chose hotel over six months ago for a treat for my mum. Location and price made it appealing. Then I read the other reviews. I am pleased to say there was no problem with the air conditioning, no night club noise (I believe the club next door to the hotel is closed down). It is right opposite the Citi Performing Arts centre where comedian Chris Rock does a gig on 14 June. Most of the noise in the corridors, I think was the men's lacrosse team coming in from a night out! Just five minutes away are several restaurants, we particulary enjoyed Remingtons opposite the Boston Common. Hotel staff were helpful swapping pillows for hypo allergenic and fixing the noisy fridge. As a previous review we also had problems with the taxi from the hotel to the airport charging us $45 instead of $35 which we had paid from the airport. Some taxis do charge extra for four people which is what we had in our party. Overall we enjoyed the free coffee in lounge and the variety of the breakfast menu especially the make your belgian waffles!

“Location wins again”

Courtyard by Marriott Boston Tremont Hotel

4 of 5 stars
London, England
May 28, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We (two couples, no children) stayed in Boston for two nights - the first stop on our three city trip (followed by Washington and New York) and we chose the Courtyard Tremont in Boston for its location, also taking into consideration the cost of the hotel compared to others in perhaps more central places. In hindsight we were happy with our choice and would stay at that hotel again and would recommend it to friends.

The hotel was nice - a standard Marriott with decent sized clean rooms, nice decor and comfortable beds. We were a bit disappointed that we could hear conversations in the next bedroom word perfect through the seemingly paper-thin adjoining (but locked) door, but we were too exhausted from travelling to ask to change rooms, and in the end too tired to be kept awake by any noise. The other couple travelling with us did not have an adjoining room and did not have a problem. And I'm sure that the hotel would have moved us had we complained.

Breakfast at the hotel was nice with a decent enough selection - nothing to rave about but nothing to complain about either. The hotel bar was a bit dismal, dark and expensive though, and reminded me of seedy looking comedy clubs that you see on tv - not in a good way - we opted to take our drinks to our rooms.

The location of the hotel made it perfect for us. It was easy to get to from the airport (take the airport shuttle to the blue Metro line then change once onto the orange line) with the entrance to the Metro station just across the road from the hotel. And it was a few minutes stroll away from the start of the Freedom Trail which was one of the main things we wanted to do while visiting the city, and a few minutes more to Fanueil Market and the waterfront. It's also near a Metro station for the green line which made travel to the Skywalk Prudential Building quick and easy.

I recommend lunch at the restaurant at the top of the Prudential Building, the cocktails are lovely (and strong). And our whale watching trip was the highlight or our whole holiday. Both Cheers bars (there are two) are worth a glance but the Beacon venue is much better to the touristy Fanueil Market location.

If you order a meal in Chinatown check whether the dishes on the menus are portion sizes for several people or individual portions! We were mortified at the volume of food that turned up at our table after ordering one main dish each plus side orders of rice and noodles.
