I stayed there this weekend and was highly disappointed in the service I received. I paid $279/night and to find that I had to pay another $42 for parking upset me. So for just a room for one night and parking I left paying $299 including taxes. The located was great, right near the aquariam and Legal Seafood. We were able to walk to area attractions from the location. I was also upset because on their website it indicated that children eat for free. Apparently if your hotel room has a specific code that means you're free. So I guess you have to "pay extra" to have your kid eat for free. My husband and I went to their restaurant for breakfast buffet ($16/ea.) annd they charged me for my 3 yr old that ate two pieces of watermelon. I got up and went to the front desk and asked why my child didn't eat for free and they explained that I had the wrong "code" on my room. Needless to say, my child ate the two pieces of fruit for free! I have never stayed at a hotel where you have to pay to park your car, ridiculous. I will be back to Boston to do the children's museum and aquariam again, just won't stay at the Marriot.

We were able to see a lot of attractions close to the hotel by walking. If you don't mind the Big Dig all around... which, it's Boston? We were there on the 4th of July, a great walk/subway ride/walk to see the Pops. Our little one got cranky before the fireworks so we headed back to the hotel. We were still able to catch about a 60% view of the fireworks from the little park like area next to the hotel.

Loved the location..close to the aquarium..Flanuil (sic) Hall..and very nice rooms and service..I highly recommend it..we were also able to get tour bus services around the city..tell a funny story..a great tour guide..who was a local was telling us the story of when Paul Revere got on his "hoss" to warn us about the British..well the bus giggled about his Boston accent..he quickly quipped.."I am the only one on this bus without an accent!"..the bus roared with laughter..anyway..check it out..

Wonderful hotel with a fantastic view. The service is outstanding and it is very clean. The rooms wer spacious and children friendly. I took my family there for the weekend and it was great because the New England Aquarium was right across the street and all the other attractions were only a walk away. A must see city and a fantastic place to stay!!

Located right next to the Aquarium T station and the MBTA pier for the Charlestown ferry, the Marriott Long Wharf is an ideal location for those who want to visit Boston without a car. The hotel's unique architecture and interiors evoke comparison to the nearby harborside warehouses and the tiered decks of a ship.

Locating besides Charles River, Boston city is a solemn beautiful metropolis of Massachusetts. Many famous colleges and universities locate in this city, for instance: MIT, Havard, Boston College, Boston University... These campuses create a distinct characteristic for the city as the educational capital of the North America.

I brought four children under 8. We were treated like family by the entire staff. I usually take advantage of the "Priceline" hotels, so paying a little more was out of character for me. It was worth every penny.
