Courtyard by Marriott Boston Cambridge

The affordable rate (for the area) and very friendly reception staff unfortunately cannot make up for the drawbacks in the hotel itself and housekeeping issues.
Please understand that the pool has been out of service for at least a year and a half, and I’m pretty sure that from the looks of things, the hotel owners have to plans to fix it. We could see the pool area from our room and the stacked chairs and tables piled against the window. Luckily, the Doubletree across the street was kind enough to allow Courtyard guests to use their pool, though the staff chuckled about the lack of any progress in fixing the Courtyard pool. Very disappointing.
Room service would not replace the shampoo /​etc after each use, despite requests, so there was a call to the front desk every day during our 4 day trip. They would fill the request promptly, but I don’t get the pushback from housekeeping on this.
No real breakfast option if you want more than ‘cold stuff’.
There are probably better options in the area.

This is a very nice hotel, clean, spacious rooms, nice views, comfortable bed, nice staff, etc. All good. And it’s relatively affordable compared to other hotels in the area. However, if you’re a tourist, it’s not particularly convenient in terms of location because it is not within what I consider walking distance to any T station. Central is *somewhat* close but not really in these summer months. I stayed just one night here in order to visit Cambridge before moving on to a longer stay elsewhere, and it got the job done, but we had to rely on Über big time. They do cater to conferences, though, offering shuttles to the big ones going on at any given time.

We had a great stay at this hotel the night of my bachelorette party. The room was very clean and comfortable, newly renovated, spacious. Awesome city views! They have Paul Mitchell shampoo in the bathroom! The staff at the front desk could not have been nicer. I’d absolutely stay here again.

Can’t get much better in the Boston area for under 150 $ a night. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from central station and about 15 mins to the Garden/​Logan airport by car. It is a very convenient location.
The staff was prompt asking for a license and credit card upon arrival. When checking out they make sure your bill is square.
The place/​room is very clean and simple, or at least they made it seem that way. Clean sheets, pillows, bed, bathroom and no weird smells in the room. Enjoyable view of the Charles with a window that actually opens! All hotels should have windows that open, but some don’t and I hate that
Great place can’t wait to return again!

Love this place, not only because its across the street from work, but because the staff and managers have gone WELL out of their way for me over the last several years and they make all my meetings there WONDERFUL…
Love the food, Love the service, Love the restaurant, Love the rooms. Love it all…
Whenever we have people in town or meetings for offsites, THIS is where we go.
If in town definitely check out the Marriott, Say Hi to Alan, Best Mgr EVER!!!

What a great experience! I was visiting Boston from California with plans to go to Burlington. With weather advisories at the time, I was able to get refunded at our hotel and did a quick trip over to Cambridge for a change of scene.
Courtyard Marriot was perfect!
I’ll start with the only thing that I wish went differently. I was given a little card with information into whats nearby and what not, however, being the person I am, I didn’t even look at it. It did inform me that for $ 5 I could have bought a day pass for the shuttle. I didn’t realize this and was using Über to get around. It wasn’t until we returned after 2 trips, that I asked the man in the shuttle and he told me. This is completely my mistake by not reading, but I would have loved it if I was told this when I checked in.
Other than that, our stay was wonderful. At check in, we were able to get in 2 hours early. Not only that, but after bringing up my visit and the occasion, we were put up in 1504… WHAT A VIEW! The room was wonderful, but even if it was just a bed, I would have still loved my stay, given the view alone. A mini fridge, nice bathroom, and comfortable bed all made our stay great. The two of us had plenty of space to hang out a bit before heading back out that night.
The location is a bit far from anywhere we wanted to go, but it’s location to the Charles River makes it worth taking transportation. We spent all day and night in Harvard Square and I cannot wait to get the chance to go back. It is guaranteed that my next stay in Cambridge will be here again. I could not be happier.

The worst hotel ever，they don’t allowed anyone who is under 21 years old. They shouldn’t accepted the reservation in first place.

This courtyard Marriott is so conveniently located surrounded with Starbucks, Trader Joe’s, and whole foods. The jogging trail along the Charles River allows the runner in me want to jog, unfortunately it was raining.
It is a less busy area but still a hop away from Boston and Allston area where good restaurants located. Parking fee is $ 35 a day. Ouch! Beside that the hotel and staff are great.

Stayed here for a long weekend in late August. From the front desk to our daytime shuttle driver, the service was phenomenal! Any issue or concern we had was immediately rectified, attentive is an understatement.

Nice remodeled hotel. Great Japanese restaurant in hotel. Entertaining if you like Tapanyake. Super location. You can easily cross street and jog by Charles River. Friendly staff.
