"We had a terrific weekend at the Marriott Boston Custom House Villas. My husband and I spent the weekend with our 3 children. The location was perfect,the villa was immaculate and we used the pool facility at the Marriot Long Wharf which was in walking distanct from the Marriott Boston Custom House. We would definitely stay there again."

"We were staying with family in the burbs but decided to chnage it up and spend our last night in the city. I couldnt have been happier with the choice. It wasn't the cheapest place in the area but clearly the best bang for the buck. Location Location Location. Could this hotel be in a better spot in the city. It became a perfect meeting place for friends. Very easy to find (being the only clock tower). The roomwas freshly painted and very comfortable. Large sitting area and seperate bedroom. The upper floors offered a very cool game room, laundry and spotless workout facility. Great vistas from EVERY window. Would 100% stay there again next time I'm in the city."

"This Marriott hotel is the cream of the crop for Boston visitors with mixed agendas. The accomodations are more than just a bedroom. The condo convenience lends itself to a bit of self catering if desired, non bedroom space for entertainment and in general a wonderful atmosphere of historic luxury meant just for you and your family. The location is perfect for the carless traveler who is willing to explore the city via the "T" and on foot. All this for less than the average cost of a similar 4* hotel. We would definitely visit again during our daughter's 4 year college years."
