Our stay at the Residence Inn Marriott was an exceptional family vacation. We had a great time during the July long weekend, and the property contributed positively to our experience. While there were some minor issues, they did not significantly impact our overall enjoyment. Rooms: Upon arrival, the rooms were clean but had a lingering seafood odor from previous guests. We used the air conditioning and sprayed some cologne to mask the smell. The housekeeping service, which was every other day, took a bit of getting used to with kids and diapers, but we managed. The one housekeeping session we had during our four-night stay was satisfactory. Pool: The family enjoyed the pool on the 8th floor. It was the perfect size—not too big and not too small. It was consistently clean, and other families also seemed to enjoy it. Parking: The valet parking fee was a bit of a shock at $68 plus tips, totaling over $300 for our stay. While I understand that parking fees are standard in the area, I would suggest reducing the fee for overnight guests to around $40. The valet service was convenient, with the lot located under the hotel, and texting the valet for car retrieval was extremely helpful. Breakfast: Weekday breakfasts were pleasant with no lines and clean seating areas. However, July 4th morning was very busy, leading to long lines for food. It would be helpful if guests could clean up after themselves rather than leaving plates for staff. Perhaps a sign reminding guests to clear their tables would be beneficial, especially for international guests who may need direction. Despite these minor inconveniences, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the excellent interactions with the staff.

“Fenway Perfect!!”

We stayed at Boston Marriott Fenway for 2 nights - came in town for a concert at Fenway Park. So convenient to everything around Fenway. The place was sold out the day we checked in but the front desk gave us a number and text to call to check when our room would be ready. We were alerted by 2:30 the room was ready. Our room was a nice design, abet small bathroom but fine for what we needed. Bed super comfortable. Fenway has alot of construction and per other reviews, my ear plugs were really needed. The construction starts at 7 AM every day. The Terrace bar is great, views excellent. Highly recommend if you are coming into Fenway for either a game or concert - you can't go wrong - A salute to Carla, at Front Desk - and the Valet team, they were exceptional

“Great location, decent price”

LOVED the location, the layout of the room, the amenities, comfort of beds. Missed having room service and/or restaurant at the hotel itself, although they are eateries and food-courts nearby. Rooms are very well-suited for extended stay (just as the name suggests)

“Decent Hotel Very Close to Fenway”

recently stayed here during a visit to Fenway area for a concert. Best part of the hotel is location - it is about a 3 minute walk from Fenway. lots of restaurants and spots close by for food/drink - like Cask & Flagon and Game On (reviewed separately).

recently stayed here during a visit to Fenway area for a concert. Best part of the hotel is location - it is about a 3 minute walk from Fenway. lots of restaurants and spots close by for food/drink - like Cask & Flagon and Game On (reviewed separately). Rooms are decent and of the efficiency type with a fridge/microwave/dishwasher. Fair amount of construction nearby/next door and that can get a bit loud. our dishwasher was stuck on and I could not get it to go off at about 9:30pm. very loud. so I tried every number on the phone in the room and got some sales contact. Finally dialed the button that said "emergency" and after 15 rings someone answered. I believe they are likely understaffed as the young man apologized. problem was fixed by engineering but was very frustrating at the end of the night. also we never had any housekeeping while we were there - 3 days. beds remained unmade and nothing was done to our room. guess you have to call in due to COVID in 2024 - LOL. all in all would stay there again but it is definitely an average experience. trade off is not need transportation to get to Fenway.
