Vibrant outside, nice and quiet inside
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Within walking distance to Fenway, shops, and restaurants.
Elizabeth, 5-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.
1-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

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

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

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
Brian, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is not a hotel, and I wonder how included with the list of hotels. The code to enter the building did not work and No employee at the property to help. I spent several hours on the street until another tenant came and open for me. The elevator was not working and I had to carry my luggage to the third floor. I had to leave the property 2 days early and of course I did not get any refunds..
Ahmed, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location on Newbury Street in the heart of everything Back Bay Boston! Very clean and comfortable unit with everything you need for a stay in the city. Very convenient to the Prudential Center/View Observation, Fenway Park and the best shopping/restaurants in the area.
Nadine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. No elevator. No parking.

Outstanding unit. No elevators. All walk up units. No parking. Great location

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!

Me encantó la habitación, la ubicación es excelente en Back Bay y la facilidad para mi mami en la habitación con elevador fue un gran detalle. El acceso a Shake es genial. Espero volver el próximo año en verano

Kenia Veronica, 5-night trip

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.
Heather, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Mixed Experience: Great Location, Poor Service The location is excellent and the in-room amenities—laundry machine, kitchenette, and dishwasher—added convenience and comfort. Unfortunately, major service issues overshadowed the positives. The elevator was out of order, and when I called twice for updates, I was told—without empathy—that “there is no ETA to fix this.” I was seven months pregnant with a twisted ankle and had to climb three flights of non-air-conditioned stairs. The staff’s indifference made the situation worse. Customer service was frustrating throughout. I was once told they had "run out of toilet paper," which is unacceptable. A CVS is two minutes away; there’s no excuse. Basic items like paper towels and detergent were delivered only after long delays and repeated requests. Their AI chat assistant on their app even confused “paper towels” with “towels” and sent a bath towel instead. Between the lack of responsiveness, poor communication, and minimal concern for guest well-being, this stay was far more stressful than it should have been.
Rio, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excelente ubicación, limpieza, decoración moderna con todo lo necesario. La zona puede ser ruidosa. Los departamentos estan arriba de un local de hamburgiesas. Estuvimos en la unidad 21 que tiene ascensor con acceso directo. Muy amplia y luminosa. Es accesible. Me encantó el lugar, lo pasamos excelente y lo recomiendo.
Erica, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do NOT stay here

2 wash cloths for 3 adults in a 1bdrm rental. Requested 3x for more to be delivered. Delivered 2nd day after showers. Thin spring mattress on pullout couch low quality and unbearable to sleep on. Adult daughter slept on couch cushion. Requested mattress topper and was told one would be delivered. Then received a message from Sonder they would not deliver one. Entire apt infested with ants. Both my wife and daughter bitten multiple times. How is a property with these issues associated with Marriott? Paying what we did while having these issues is unacceptable. Sonder issued a $50 credit to be used on a future stay which is an insult. And our view was of alley garbage cans with garbage trucks loudly loading garbage at 3am. Bathroom toilet paper holder broken. We will NOT stay at a Sonder property in the future and will be reporting this property to Marriott.

10/10 Exceptional

This was a nice little apartment for my short stay.Other than the stairs which I didn’t know about until just before I arrived, it was exactly as described. Clean and nicely decorated. It is a little loud in the neighborhood but even that was addresses with the amenities. I would definitely use again.
Karen, 1-night trip

Sensational location
Sarah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was in a great location, central and close to shops and dining.
Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location was perfect for visiting. It’s close to everything: market, shopping, dinning, ect. The area is safe & beautiful. The apartment is clean, but the kitchen has no cooking stoves or cookwares, just microwave. So the term “kitchen” is misleading. Unfortunately, my kid has special diet. We struggled to find things for her to eat not being able to cook. The fridge doesn’t dispense ice or water. The noise can be bothersome for some. And, there's no elevator. Be prepared to lift your belongings up the stairs.

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.
