Please avoid this place. There's an additional fee on everything...and it feels like a scam. I booked thru Expedia , who have been totally pro to deal with, but once I checked in it all began. Parking is 54$ every day. Destination fee is ($35, IIRC) and while it allows you to use some of that...they keep the what you don't use. So ...we were tired from traveling..might as well go with the flow. After a few hrs when to the little shop to use up some of that destination fee. I bought a small orange juice and a small packet of pretzels covered on chocolate. It was $22!!!!!!!!! Right there I started thinking, we might need to get out of this place. But it late...so I slept on the decision. I didn't sleep well. The jets fly over this Marriot first thing in the morning. One after another. It was ridiculous. I made calls. And got out of there. Marriot needs to be transparent on all the hidden fees. It really was a waste of time and money. The staff was kind...but always acted like they were on camera and being watched. They explained every hidden fee while smiling to each and every customer. read more

I had a layover at the Aloft Boston Seaport. It's a super quick 10-minute ride from the airport. I like the secure elevators that only take you to your floor, so it never feels crowded. There's a lively bar scene downstairs in the evenings if you want to grab a drink before heading up. There doesnt seem to be a restauratn for Breakfast though - it was a simple chalkboard-style menu at reception that you order from and take back to your room. Rooms are a decent size with double windows, but fair warning: because the building curves, some rooms sit at an angle to each other... so if you're changing, close those curtains unless you want to accidentally put on a show. Ask me how I know -- I unwittingly became a voyeur. ‍ read more

Stayed here due to convenience for a work conference at the convention center. Can't beat the location but room was a bit small. Was staying here with a friend. The main downside to our trip was when we had returned to our room-we found a complete stranger sleeping in one of the beds! Turns out the front desk hadn't checked the stranger's ID carefully and the front desk just went by the stranger's last name verbally which was the same as my friend's and they had given the stranger a key to our room! Thankfully none of our stuff was taken, but when we brought this up to the front desk it was shrugged off. Only when we brought it up again to a manager was a small credit offered for our troubles. We'd also asked housekeeping to change the sheets and found the dirty pillow case with the stranger's makeup still there later too. My cousin also stayed here and had dirty cups in her room. If I was in Boston again, I probably wouldn't stay here. read more

Aloft in general is hit or miss. This is one of the better ones that I've stayed at. The lobby is nice; the rooms are ok. Air conditioner is really noisy and the style feels very "college dorm". It's fine for a shorter stay, but not sure I'd choose this property again for more than one or two nights. Also, it's in the seaport district but still a bit of a walk from all of the bars/restaurants/shopping at the seaport section. read more

I would only recommend staying here if you need fast access to the convention center since it's right across the street with access to a main entrance. I've stayed here twice with a co-worker for a work meeting and the rooms are a bit small and tend to get hot due to the mid-day sun, there's a fridge but I don't think they have a microwave and the air conditioner / heater is a bit noisy. Definitely adore the complimentary morning coffee and larger bar/seating area, elevators are fancier touch-less read more

If you've ever read any of my reviews, you know that I love aloft hotels so this one was no different. The Aloft Hotel in the Boston Seaport District has everything you need. There's an onsite restaurant, and a full bar. There are activities, such as an indoor heated pool, state of the art gym, and games such as Connect Four & Uno. You also have access to a self service area for snacks such as cookies, cakes, donuts, breakfast food, and any alcohol you can dream of. During my stay, I ordered food from the bar, which is open until 11pm during the week. I had fall off the bone ribs, and a tasty chicken quesadilla. While they don't have microwaves in the rooms, the one in the lobby is perfect for heating up items. The rooms are beautifully furnished, with ample closet space, lots of working space in the bedroom (2 desks), a giant shower, and comfy beds! Can't wait to return! read more

Having stayed at several Alofts across the country, I like the cool funky vibe of the place. I stayed at this property as it was the site of a conference I was attending. I was warmly greeted at check-in and recognized for my Bonvoy Titanium status. I received two $20 breakfast vouchers to use at the restaurant. My room on the 13th floor faced south was sun-filled. The room was spacious with a king-size bed and a great shower. I love the contemporary design of the hotel and my room. If I had any disappointments, I wished there was more lighting in the room, the wi-fi signal was stronger and the AC unit was quieter. There are tons of great restaurant options, many in walking distance, with others only a 10-minute Uber away. It's right next to the convention center. It's a great lower-priced lodging option. Check it out! read more

Good location if you're going to the convention center or the seaport district, although the latter is a bit of a walk. So is the convention center if you're convention is closer to the rear door as the Aloft is on the rear side. To get to the door of the convention center was about a block or so (with jaywalking), but once inside, we had to weave around to get to our convention. Outside of the hotel, there's an outdoor entertainment area which can get kind of noisy. It's between the convention center and the hotel. There were also some restaurants in the hotel (Brazilian Steakhouse) and kind of close (maybe a Dunkin' and a sub shop), but most of the "good" restaurants are a bit of a walk. The room layout was a bit odd and they were set up for charging lots of devices. However, the hallways seemed to accumulate trash. When did people think that just putting trash outside in the hall is normal? Animals! Some strategically placed trash cans would help with this. I'd stay here again if I was going to the convention center, but as a tourist, I'd probably go somewhere else. read more

I found aloft Boston to be tremendously welcoming after a cold and rainy journey. I arrived via rental car thanks to my own crappy car ceasing to operate immediately before my short work trip. Valet and concierge were both helpful and supportive. The room was small and well appointed. I had a lovely shower and will plan on returning again. I wish I tried the Brazilian restaurant located in house. Maybe next time! read more

We stayed at Aloft Seaport in December of 2023 because we were visiting the Seaport Holiday Market. This hotel was walking distance to the market. Our room was spacious and clean. The lobby had a bar and different games to entertain. We loved the photo opportunity in the lobby as well. A perk was the free coffee machine in the lobby, to warm up while we walked to the market. This hotel has a fun atmosphere and vibe! read more

The hotel itself is 4 stars. Spacious lobby area with plenty of seating and workspaces, alongside a lovely bar. Upstairs is an event space that we did not check out. They also have a Brazilian steakhouse in the lobby which we did not get to try but smelled great and always had a crowd. The rooms are the typical Aloft-style room. On the smaller side but the bed makes up for it. We had a corner room which would've been great except one side faced residential balconies, and another faced a truck depot. We were barely in the room so it was fine but we did keep the shades facing the balconies down. The inner handle of our bathroom door had been practically ripped off so I chatted on the app and they sent someone up to fix it in 2 minutes. It was great they were so receptive and thanked me over and over for reporting it. Staff is friendly from the concierge to the bartender. Plenty of snacks and drinks (including alcohol!) for sale in the lobby area. You will need these as I get to my final point... This hotel is in the middle of nowhere. It's a good 15 minute walk to the actual seaport. Besides the Brazilian steakhouse and on-site breakfast, there is only a Dunkin and a Jimmy John's nearby. Everywhere else is at least a 15 minute walk or a 5 minute drive. Valet and Lyft can both be expensive but necessary if staying here. We don't mind walking but if you're trying to get back from the heart of Boston you will require transportation since the T also does not stop in this area. I would stay here again but plan in advance. read more

First time at Aloft and it was top notch. We had a room booked while in town for a volleyball festival at the convention center. The location was perfect with the back entrance to the venue about ten yards away from the hotel. This place was jamming all weekend and the staff was polite, professional and prompt. In terms of service, this is probably my best Marriot experience ever of over a hundred stays. They serve food in the open lobby area street 5pm but they have a fully stocked grab and go that has just about anything you could want from meals to snacks. The salads, sandwiches and açaí bowls were fresh and tasty. The free espresso machine was also a great add. We opted to valet and it was pricey. About $54 a night but there are no overnight options (I don't think) with onstreet spots reserved overnight for residents in the area. The location is a little bit of a walk to the seaport but no more than 15 minutes. Besides a Dunkin and Jimmy John's there's limited dining options aside from the upscale steak house. The in house food after five is doable. The room was nicely appointed. Somewhat squishy beds but didn't interfere with my sleep. Knocked off a star because the heating was either super hot or off. There's an open lawn area across the way that holds events in the warm weather so I expect that could get noisy (there was a sign posted saying you could request ear plugs). Even with the spotty heat situation, I'd rebook this place in a heartbeat. Family friendly with a small pool that was actually open. read more

Stay anywhere else but here. All of the reviews about the air conditioning are 100% true. It's loud and freezing when on, and when off the room is very warm. There is no nice medium. Here's the best part! 1:15am we are dead asleep and get a knock on our door, its security. "You have a car at the valet but never checked in". Ummmm how was I inside the room then? I checked in at 7:30, had multiple conversations with the front desk. Went to dinner and walked by the front desk again around 10pm. There was NO courtesy call to the room before sending security. In the morning I spoke to the manager, Nicole. She informed me it was a new front desk agent and she didn't save while checking us in. I hope she implements my suggestion moving forward for new hires.... We shall see! STAY ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE. read more

Decent hotel in the Seaport District of Boston. The room is pretty average but the views are nice. There seems to be a lot nearby within walking distance if you are visiting the area. As far as the amenities they seem to have quite a bit to offer. There is a breakfast counter served a la carte, a bar which serves drinks and fried finger foods to snack on, and then a high end Brazilian steakhouse! The staff were very nice and friendly during check in. The room is clean with no stains or dirty marks anywhere on the bedding or mattress. Bathroom is also spotless. Overall I'd recommend this place if you're in the area for a visit. read more

REVIEW YOUR BILL! They sneak in a $3 DAILY fee, preemptively & supposedly for an "employee relief" fund (in the event of an emergency). Absolutely ridiculous and sneaky! It is unnecessary & deceptive. They will remove the surprise charge but you must insist. read more

Well kept and appointed. Only ask I have is an entrance closer to the seaport where we are all walking from. The late night bar was much appreciated and your connected restaurant is amazing. I highly recommend the lamb chops. read more

All in this is not a bad hotel. First thing I will say is that the staff was amazing, literally every single person we encountered was extremely friendly and accommodating. We were in town for a volleyball tournament so the whole hotel was completely booked and it seemed that it was all volleyball players and the staff handled the crowd exceptionally well. The location is perfect if you have an event at the convention center. The issue we had was that we were in room 830 and that room has 2 exposed pipes that run along the ceiling directly above one of the beds. Those pipes made a very loud noise for the entirety of our stay, especially throughout the night while we were trying to sleep. We notified the front desk the first night and were told they would send maintenance up. We never heard from anyone if maintenance ever came so we mentioned it again and were told maintenance would come up, again nothing happened so the next day I recorded the sound on my phone and when maintenance finally arrived the following morning I played the video for the worker and he said that there was definitely something wrong and that the noise is not normal and said he would see what could be done. We never heard anything from anyone at the hotel. We know the hotel was completely booked so we knew that there was no way we were going to be able to be moved to another room. We also knew that the hotel staff was extremely busy with the hotel being fully booked however, the fact that no one followed up with us or even tried to fix the issue was very disappointing. We had the worst sleep of our lives. I attached the video of the sound we heard for the entirety of our stay. We will be back in October and will undoubtedly be staying somewhere else. read more

It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We arrived a little early and expected to wait in the lobby. On arrival at 11:30 am, I was told our room was ready which was fantastic. The staff were helpful and friendly. I had something printed, too. The room was generous and had a great view of the lawn on D which we stopped by later. I would recommend to anyone staying in the Boston seaport neighborhood. read more

Live music in the lobby on Saturday night. Great location with Lawn On D across the street. Great fun for families who enjoy pickle ball, lawn chess, checkers, connect four with a bar. Rooms are what you expect from Aloft. Nothing different. Free coffee, hot chocolate and lattes from the machine in the lobby was nice. Gym is okay. Free weights, treadmills and ellipticals always available. Foosball and fmpool table in the lobby. read more

Decent place in a great location (Seaport) that is really up and coming. Walking distance to many places too. Staff are very welcoming. The elevators are fast and work great. Nice bar area and lobby seating plus a pool table. There's a small area to purchase snacks and order some hot foods during specific hours. There is also a Brazilian steakhouse inside too. The rooms are decent size, but if you're staying for more than 4 days you might want more space for clothes. Two small drawers for clothes and a very small area to hang clothes. So if there's two people in the room, well, space is limited. Good for a weekend getaway in terms of clothing space. We'd come again for a short stay. read more

Fraudulently charged my card after the front desk employee said I could extend my stay with points. I have NEVER had a worse Marriott experience. They blatantly lied and then claimed there was nothing they could do to remedy - even though their employee caused the issue. DO NOT STAY HERE. You'll pay more at Omni but they are crooks!! Will be reporting them. read more

The hotel could improve by getting rid of the bed bugs. I was bitten several places, which I told the hotel after my stay, and unsurprisingly nobody reached out to me. Bad experience. Will never go back. read more

We were lucky to have access to early check in and it was awesome! Our view was of the city and omg what a view! The kids were going crazy playing tag and arguing over squishmallows, but I was in scenic heaven!! I watched the sun go down. The kids saw the "purple pink sky" from their beds and watched the lights of Boston start to turn on. After the kids went to bed, hubby snuck down to the bar/ Brazilian steakhouse and said he had a great time watching football with patrons and the staff. The food smelled amazing but we had just filled up on fresh seafood :) I sat on the bed watching the lights and enjoying the skyline. The staff was very courteous. The hotel was clean and Sanitized well. Masks mandates were being enforced. Best was our pups joined the party and she was welcomed! Oh! I read they have events and live music and outdoor games in their front yard during summers. We'd love to experience that and will be back! The view. read more

I like this Aloft it is basically like most other Alofts, with the loft feel, sort of industrial but still comfortable. I find their beds to be comfortable and the room was well equipped. We got a corner "suite" overlooking the Lawn on D and the Boston skyline. Windows on two sides let us see all the way to the ocean. Tons of bright light too. I said "suite" because that's how it was offered, but it did not have two rooms as a suite should have, and like all Alofts there is really no where to sit other than the desk chair, the bed, or the hard bench with a thin pad on top. The staff was friendly. Check in was quick. The bar area was comfortable. The location is good if you are at the convention center (not directly connected) or want to explain the fast growing Seaport district. Overall a very nice stay. read more

Aloft by Marriott Boston Seaport District - View from my rooM. - Hotels Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This was my first time at Aloft Seaport and I thought it was fine. Check-in was easy and I was impressed by the large selection of snacks one could buy. It was almost like a minimart which had icecream, chips, protein bars, fruit, microwaveable food items. There's also a nice bar and restaurant attached to the hotel. My room was spacious and because they ran out of rooms with king sized beds, I was upgraded to a room with a lovely view. I loved the blackout shades. Like many hip new hotels, I would say Aloft captured that same vibe. Minimally decorated rooms with a nice shower and comfortable beds. And that's all I really need. I would come back. It was very conveniently located to South Station. Pricey but it's Boston during high season. read more

Aloft is a beautiful, techie and artsy hotel located in Boston's Seaport district. Considering we took the bus into Boston from NYC; Aloft was a 10 minute cab ride from South Station - one of Boston's main bus and train hub. Also, there is a ferry that runs from Boston's airport to the Seaport district and Aloft is about 8 minutes walking distance from the Harbour. That's very convenient! Aloft is about a 12 minute cab ride from downtown Boston if traffic isn't insane. The hotel's lobby was stunning and welcoming. They have some of the most creative and mesmerizing paintings displayed in the lobby. Very colorful! They also have two bars and a restaurant. In case you are just looking to rest for a bit until your next adventure then take advantage of their lounging area and definitely play a tune on their pink user friendly guitar. My room was clean and techie with a touch of colorful artwork. My favorite was their bed. It was so relaxing and comfortable. I didn't want to get up the next morning. The shower head was powerful and felt as though I was experiencing a massage in the shower. In case you are wondering there's a lot of drawer and closet space. They also had a nice coffee maker. If you walk about 8 minutes towards the Harbour; there you'll find a few amazing restaurants and bars. I'd recommend going to Legal Harbourside. Overall great experience and I enjoy my stay at Aloft. I appreciate the white glove customer services. read more

Very pleasantly surprised. Nice accommodations. Location off the beaten path but walking distance to the Seaport, Broadway strip in southie, and longer walk, or short uber ride, to the North End and Fanueal Hall. Hotel has a huge, wide open lobby, with a pool table, bar, and several seating areas. Rooms are small with a functional layout. Very comfortable. We had a little trouble adjusting the air and fan, but it ended up being fine. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Room and bathroom clean and uncluttered. We will be back! read more

Where do I begin? Certainly not anywhere in this hotel where there is a working heater. The lobby was cold. Our room on the 13th floor was cold. Our second room on the 7th floor was cold. If you're looking to be in the heat , this is not a good hotel motel ALOFT Inn. The heater in the rooms and lobby were not working. When turned on, sounded like a JET ENGINE taking off at Logan Airport, only to blow out cold air. Perhaps this is more of a summer hotel destination. Additionally, a car horn went off on the hour, every hour, for 37 minutes straight. I can confirm, the windows are thin. Which brought us back to sleeping next to a cold-blowing Jet Engine instead of the car horn sound. God Bless. The location is good and the staff were friendly - hence the 3 stars. Amenities in the room require an investment in the Maintenance Dept. read more

Great perk is the Brazilian restaurant that's downstairs. Due to covid, a lot of attractions in the area were closed but at the same time, it's a bit separate from a lot of good restaurants/convenience stores in Seaport. Complaints would be that my ceiling seemed unfinished - you can see the panels that were screwed in pretty clearly and the water would not heat up when attempting to shower at night. Tried again in the morning, and it got hotter (though it took a bit of time). read more

We have stayed at Aloft twice and both times it was a very positive experience. The location is great, easy to get into downtown Boston quickly, easy to walk anywhere in the Seaport, the Convention Center is right there. We like the swimming pool, especially because both times we stayed nobody was there, I'm not sure people know it's there. My son and I swam on our own for over an hour, very fun. There is live music in the lobby and a pool table, again, my son and I had fun. We will stay here again as the price is reasonable, the rooms are clean and there a decent pool. read more

Was in the city for one night recently and the Aloft seaport had reasonably priced rooms available. The area it is in is so built up with new developments, hotels & restaurants. It's an easy Uber ride or walk to downtown and the train station. The rooms are clean, spacious and I love that you can just walk in and out as you please as if you lived there. The staff leaves you alone but is there when needed. Overall a great stay. read more

Looks great from the outside, but it's clearly an older establishment that's had a facelift. Rooms are very basic, very little lighting. Internally mounted air conditioning unit that is very loud. Hot water takes way too long to warm up. If you are going to the convention center, it's a great location. It's not terrible, just basic with a few minor annoyances. read more

We stayed at the Aloft this past weekend for a Volleyball Tournament. The hotel is right across the street from the Boston Convention Center so that was really great. Check in was easy. Our room was nice and clean, alittle sparce on space especially bathroom. The hotel staff was available to ask questions and very helpful. I will stay again in this hotel for the cost and comfort of the place. Be prepared: Parking not so easy. Be prepared to walk and good luck finding a spot. The lot was all full and so was the street parking. Food choices very limited. No real restaurant on premise for breakfast or lunch. We had to go in to the Westin across the street. read more

Urine Soaked Mattress We stayed on July 11 and had two rooms booked. While we experienced a number of incidents of disappointing customer service prior to and during check in, nothing compared to the surprise awaiting us when we got into bed in room 1119. After about 20 minutes of lying in bed, we noticed our clothes were wet and the bed was wet. We stripped the bed to find the mattress soaked thru with urine. We called down to the front desk and had the mattress switched out and sheets changed, all of which took about an hour (this happened around 11:30pm, after a long day of travel to Boston from Los Angeles). While the staff who actually moved the mattress and remade the bed were very nice, compassionate and professional, we were dissatisfied with the level of seriousness the hotel front desk person (who was not a manager and the only person on duty) seemed to take. We repeatedly requested that a manager, and specifically the GM, be contacted by phone immediately given the health hazard this presented. So far, we have not heard from the GM. As you can imagine, this was the most horrid hospitality experience we have ever had at any property worldwide. read more
