If the Marriott is going to host weddings and other events, they should designate sections of the hotel for event people to stay in so that regular guests don't have to hear loud talking, shouting, loud music, kids running through the halls, doors opening and slamming at 1:00 in the morning, etc. I've stayed in other hotels that were hosting weddings, but the hotel management in those places knew how to organize space to make wedding attendees and regular guests both comfortable. Not this Marriott, sadly. And I am a Marriott Bonvoy member. FYI, no lobby coffee. Starbucks opens at 6. Early morning in the lobby there is rather loud piped in music, so I tried to go outside for peace and quiet -- wrong -- the patio was blocked off for somebody's special wedding event, at 6:30 in the morning already. There is no other outdoor seating. Also, there is no microwave in the room, which is a normal amenity for even lower priced hotels. Water $5 in the lobby market. There is a mini fridge in the room. Staff is nice and professional. But I wouldn't stay here again unless I was assured there were no private events being hosted.

A relaxing getaway in the South Boston…read more After a trip to Montreal and NYC, we were seeking a little solitude from our typical trip to Boston. In most cases, we would stay in the heart of the city. This is a great side trip outside of summer, when the rates are great and you don't want to go as far out as Cape Cod. This trip took us from plane to city, from train to boat, from taxi to city and from car to village. In Hull, we were 30 minutes or less from everything we needed to access; Plymouth (the rock), Milton (the grand babes) and the towns of Cohasset and Hingham (for coffee, food, and shopping). The owner of the Beacon Luxury Waterfront Inn greeted us, as we arrived before dark, with easy upfront parking. Into the Atlantic suite, with water views (and although fall, the weather was temperate, not hot, but not too cold yet). We selected this room, as it was on the corner with water views. The suite itself was huge with a private bath, jacuzzi tub, fireplace and I must admit they were both used nightly to not only to slow down from all the traveling but also after sightseeing, outings and spending time with family. Each morning a simple continental breakfast is served. This is probably the thing we liked the least, but we knew what to expect. We prefer a bed and breakfast with a full breakfast, but we did enjoy our room and slept comfortably with the amenities available. If anything, not being food focused got us going earlier in the morning for a new adventure. I highly recommend stepping outside the city sometime and exploring the smaller places. This is what makes New England so charming. #OutsideBoston #Hull #TheBeaconLuxuryWaterfrontInn #NewEngland

This luxury bed & breakfast was absolutely amazing!! The owner greeted us upon our early arrival. She was so adorable, polite, and warm welcoming. She even allowed us to check in 1hr early. Also Heather did an outstanding job with cleaning the suite for check-in ready. I suffer from obsessive control disorders. The way Heather cleaned the suite actually helped me cope with my disorder. The entire suite passed my white glove cleanliness ritual. The smell was so delightful. It was almost like smelling fresh air inside lol. This place was so calming & relaxing. I didn't want my little getaway stay to end. This place is definitely a 10 out of 10.

What a wild and crazy night I had here. I was looking for a place to eat with my parents. They had…read morenever been to Boston before and I was thinking, "What better place to eat than in the Fenway/Back Bay area?" I wound up finding this place on my Open Table app, since The 86 qualifies as a local eatery (who knew mayonaise, ham and cheese sandwiches, soujouk, and deviled eggs qualify as a full menu). We stopped in and the atmosphere was cool. There was chalk all over the walls and a mish-mash of furniture, leading to a cool ambiance AND decor. The waiter was a man small in stature, but compensated with sarcastic remarks and being generally ornery. The chefs cooking up the food were strange as well. One of them was blasting 90's tunes and thought it was more important to strum a guitar than to devil my dad's eggs. The other one alternated between giggling like he saw kittens and some weird Sean Connery impression. Despite this, they made mean devil eggs! After dinner, I inquired about where to stay overnight in the area. That's when a tall man with a halfway-decent beard and a striped shirt told me I could stay there! He went on to explain that they have an extra bed because one of the "assholes" that used to work here couldn't stand living with them and had to move back in with his parents. At that point, my parents and I decided it would be best to stay there. This is where things got weird. I am in the bottom floor of the establishment, with my parents on the other side of the room in their bed. I hear the door jiggling, which I thought was strange because I knew I locked it. That's when I saw the silhouette of a man with an odd haircut standing in the doorway. He said, "I have the same key, duuhh." Then he exclaimed "RTFM" and "Let me sleep in bed with you!" and "I promise I won't do anything weird." There, with the man in the doorway, I stood silent. I didn't know how to react. Suspense kept building as he was waiting for my reply. I could hear him huffing and puffing, and as I was beginning to speak, that was when my mom got scared and say "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air!" I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo home to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabby, "yo holmes smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there. To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

You have to go to the front office and remind them that you just paid for your room 5 minutes ago and would actually like the heating to be ON in the winter. Also the bathroom door AND window are busted, so there's no vent for the steam from the shower- good luck breathing for more than 2 minutes at a time. The TV bricked itself when we tried to adjust the angle because it counted as "touching the sensor" (which bricks their TVs for some reason, according to the sign?), and we were harassed in our car by someone who tried to claim you were only "allowed" to park in front of your room. They did not work for the hotel, but decided that since they'd been there longer and "everyone knows them", they could do that. I highly doubt anything would come of trying to report their harassment based on every other aspect of this place, since someone tried to force their way into the room without identifying themself, and it took three "who are you, what do you want, stop it"'s before they said "oh I'm from the front desk". A totally normal and healthy thing to experience when you're half naked. Totally fine. Wouldn't have even left this review if that didn't happen, by the way, because it's not their fault they can't afford to fix a lot of the stuff here or if their customers are gonna be rude. But it's absolutely on them if their staff is going to try and harass people in their rooms without identifying themselves instead of just, idk, saying what they want before trying to open a door they can hear someone on the other side of?

No plug in the bathroom, windows are inaccessible, so no opening the one in bathroom and the only other one had the non-working AC in it. At least I had a camp fan with me to circulate air. The ceiling fan was clanging around and LOUD! Very outdated! When I booked online it showed 2 beds, nope only one tiny full size bed, but for the price it was doable. Very outdated. On the upside, the room was super clean. If you're looking for a quick one night stay, to literally just sleep there after a concert at Gillette or Xfinity, it's okay. Anything else, I'd say no.

WARNING: DO NOT STAY HERE. Management and the owner Ed Are poor communicators, are deceptive, and…read moredo not have the tenant's well being in mind. I am a traveling healthcare professional and my wife works from home and we do not expect a five star accommodation, but we expect a sense of safety and rest; which is important to us as we move around to different areas for work. I have lived in a few apartments in my life and this by far was the worst experience I have had in my life. Do not trust the pictures on the website, as they are false advertising. Carpets are stained and there is visible water damage throughout. We lived in two different apartments in this building, so it is not a one off. We had a fridge that kept losing power over an eight month period, multiple electrician visits, told we should just flip the circuit ourselves and we lost tons of food because it would go bad if we left for work/vacation. I had to have the building refund me $150 one time because of all the food we lost over a weekend. We had noisy neighbors above us with dogs barking, the tenant yelling in the middle of the night in and outside the building, and throwing soda cans out of the window. Told management, it didn't stop, and they did nothing about it. We had three different leaks in the ceiling in one month. The owner Ed emailed us that "things happen" and was very disrespectful. One was so bad that it was pouring out of a fixture and the super had to bring in a machine to suck up the water. With the third leak we had to make three different phone calls and wait two hours for someone to come to the apartment. The super wasn't available because he was playing golf and there wasn't a back up super, that we know of; so the owner was forced to come. In person he offered to give us $500 refund as compensation for everything we had been through since we only had one month left on the lease. He then responded to an email, that we had sent twice with no response, and only offered us $100 refund because the rent increased that amount. Never acknowledged the in person $500 refund that he offered twice and tried to gaslight us by claiming everything was fixed in the apartment and that we didn't communicate that we had all these issues. Once we realized that management and the Owner Ed couldn't be trusted, we told them all communication had to be done via email so that we have a record of all conversations. We had to call the department of health so the inspector would call them to do repair work from the three leaks. And the owner Ed never issued us any kind of refund; whether it was the $500 he offered us in person or the $100 he offered via email. We sent a final email and the owner Ed took over two weeks to respond and by then we had moved our stuff out of the apartment, I had left the state for another travel job, and my wife was flying out. I informed all the travel companies that I am affiliated with and they had heard some complaints from previous travel healthcare workers but this was the worst instance. The travel companies will tell future travelers not to stay at this building. And this was not a cheap stay at $2,800-$2,900 a month. Save yourself the stress, the trouble, the money, and people that treat tenants poorly. Avoid this place at all cost

Finding JE Furnished Apartments in Quincy was the solution to our problems. The apartment building's manager (Stephanie Gortz) was professional, helpful, and kind at every turn.
