10/10 Exceptional

My first trip to Boston. Loved the location with all the cute little shops around it. Easy to access. Has all the amenities for a lovely stay. I would stay here again.

Great stay in a lovely location. Highly recommended! Spacious and secure with lovely street views.
Vanida, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel does not have an elevator

I realized the hotel doesn’t have an elevator once they assigned my room and shared I needed to walk up to the third floor. They were not able to accommodate an accessible room and would not refund my cancelation. Beware. This was not listed in any of the reviews. I am virtually certain this detail was omitted on the property details when I booked. It is now listed under accessibility. They should call this what it is - a walk up apartment. I expect more from a Marriott property!

It was in a great location, central and close to shops and dining.

Ideally located in heart of Back Bay
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Updated, minimalist interior design. Near Copley Station on the green line. Easy, keyless building access. Walking distance to loads of shops, restaurants, and parks. Dangerously close to late night eats. Combined washer/dryer unit can take several hours to dry clothes completely. Don't use anything above a medium spin cycle or it might shimmy down the hall. Noise mentioned in other reviews was not a big issue. The street can get very busy which is great and you will hear the neighbors walking with purpose upstairs. The pluses here outweigh any drawbacks.
Nathaniel, 9-night trip

Great apartment in a great location.
Erik, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Close to restaurants, coffee shops, and retail

Comfortable, functional, and clean suite. While no reception and consierge on site, they have have a good chat option for questions and lockers to store luggage. Great area with lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and retail. The bedroom had a sound machine and sleep mask in case street noise and light becomes an issue.

The apartment was better than I could’ve expected. The location was perfect on Newbury St., it was very spacious, super clean, furnished pretty, and overall a great place to stay and would come back!
Eleonora, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was in the heart of Back Bay. It was a cool experience to stay right on Newbury street. I had heard people complaining about noise but with some ear plugs it wasn’t a problem at all (they even supply a little white noise machine) but you are in the heart of the city you can’t be complaining about noise! The light in the bedroom was amazing. Our unit was the accessible unit so it had its own elevator! Quick walk to Copley station which is the perfect location on the Green Line cause you can use any train to get downtown and north station.
Karen, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, secure, hip lcoation

Great location, right among shops and cafes on a hip street. Clean, large 1 bedroom apartment. As others have noted, it is super loud overnight with trucks loading nearby stores. They provide a sound machine but bring ear plugs!
Ella, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Parking turned out to be easy but might not have been if we arrived at a different time. Don't know, but was great for us. Great area to be in.
Catherine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very close to basic necessities and close to the station. Place was relatively clean. Would recommend. Just for other peolle looking at this place to stay the only downside is that there isnt any elevator. It was a good workout going up and down the stairs.
Martin, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room/unit we were in was above shake shack so you could here the music and noise from the restaurant. Location was great for us though it was Midway between fenway and Boston common in back bay. We took the free logan express bus to back bay and the room was 1 block away. Only $3 to go back to the airport.
Catherine, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place was great, I would love to come back next year. My only issue which is at 9 am this morning, housekeeping came into my room while I was in my underwear sleeping in bed. Our check out time was at 11 am. It was quite embarrassing and not a fun way to wake up.

Newbury St

Tired apartment. No elevator
Hans, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

You really can’t beat the location right on Newbury St! The unit was in great condition, clean, spacious and nice decor. Just note it is a walk up so if you have super heavy suitcases you will need to carry them up at least one flight of stairs. Check-in and check-out process was super easy. Access is also really easy with the door code or using a mobile device key. Impressed with Sonder and will definitely consider for future accomodation!

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing property. Although 4th floor walk up the unit was so large and comfortable with kitchen and a washer/dryer. The location was fantastic, walk right out the door and find lots of good places to eat, walk to Fenway Park, walk to Boston Common and Waterfront and even to TD Garden for Celtics basketball. Not a hotel so may take a little longer to get more towels or help but you get it soon enough. What a great vacation!
Robyn, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Well-equipped lovely apartment in great location

Great location on very upmarket shopping street. We walked to downtown and Fenway within 20 minutes. Copley T station was a block away and easy to use. Have seen some complaints about stairs but we were on the third floor and despite being relatively unfit 50-somethings we managed absolutely fine. Apartment had really good facilities- washer/dryer was very useful. Definitely would stay here again.
Sharon, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall super convenient. I expected a stove because the listing said it was a full kitchen but there a microwave and toaster. All up, property was clean and modern.
Bindhu, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

There are four floors without an elevator. Makes it difficult when carrying luggage. Other than that it was a great place to stay in Boston
