Nice location-close to cruise pier and transit
I stayed in this hotel using Marriott points for one night while attending a meeting inn Boston. I chose it due to best value for my points. As a Lifetime Platinum member, I hoped to at least get a nice room with some sort of view, other than a parking lot or construction site.
When I arrived, I was given a room with 2 beds overlooking nothing. Part of the Elite benefits guarantee is that I get my chosen room type (King), a welcome amenity and an upgrade to best available room. None of that happened, and honestly, the staff at the front desk during check in were all aloof and indifferent. I really felt insulted, as though staying on points made me less than desirable. Give me a break! 
Upon contacting the manager on duty and suggesting that I either get my guaranteed benefits, or they could pay me the $100 cash that is part of the program, a nice king room, on a concierge floor, with a view miraculously became available. This room was very clean and comfortable and had a great view of the cruise pier. From that point on, and once I spoke with another manager, things got better. The guest services staff that worked later in the day were much nicer, except for the Concierge who told me flat out that I should walk to the pier area and that mass transit did NOT go there. The distance was about 1/2 a mile (in July?? In hot humid weather? NO!) AND in fact, the silver line stopped RIGHT opposite the door to the pier.
But I digress. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. I attempted to get a cocktail and dessert in the lounge that evening but no one came around to take my order after sitting there for 20 minutes. I relocated to the restaurant where I did manage to get something as a sweet treat. The menu is very 'foodie' oriented and I was somewhat disappointed with the selections, even for dessert. Everything on the menu had at least 1 ingredient that i cannot eat. That said, the chef was kind enough to make me something using alternate components and it was very good. (Strawberry shortcake with normal whipped cream as opposed to creme fraiche)
The concierge lounge was lovely although the attendants were basically just filling things in, cleaning and not interacting with guests. I really miss actual 'concierge' personnel in the lounges and I have grown to dislike the food servers that have replaced them. Not to say that they are bad, but if you have a Club/Concierge lounge, there should be someone there who has INFORMATION and who does not just look at you with a blank " I DUNNO" stare.
All in all the hotel was very nice and I would likely stay there again, but only with points, or a reasonable rate. (The rates were going for close to $500 NIGHT when i was there...ugh) And I will say that the second manager with whom I spoke really "gets it" and he was nice and helpful.
The hotel is also walking distance to a wide array of dining options and again, it's easy to get the Silver Line to South Station or the airport-thus traveling around is a breeze.
