My husband and I recently stayed at this hotel to be closer to my husband's work during the blizzard. As both a former front desk employee with Marriott and now a Titanium member, I cannot say enough about the staff at this location. Both Brody and Joyce at the front desk were so fun to talk with and they made my husband and I feel at home. This stay also happened to coincide with my birthday (I did not tell the staff this), and Joyce went above and beyond to ensure our short stay was special. Joyce surprised us with a beautiful room, snacks, drinks and even a birthday card from the front desk staff. We only live a few miles away in Malden, but after our experience at this location we will absolutely stay here again for a "weekend away." It's rare to find staff that are both professional and so genuine/authentic. Brody and Joyce are lovely humans and true assets to the Marriott name. Thanks, Emilie and Ben
I would like to thank Brody and Joyce for the warm welcome at reception; the service was excellent, the room was lovely and very clean. I recommend this quiet hotel.
Best stay I've had in years Brody, Maria, Katie and team were outstanding. I stayed 2 days and felt like I was family!!! Thanks to the whole team!! Stay here!!!!
AC Hotel by Marriott offers a clean, modern atmosphere with a calm and comfortable setting. The service is professional and courteous, making the experience smooth and pleasant. Food quality is good, with a well-presented menu, though options can feel a bit limited at times. Overall, it’s a reliable choice for a relaxed stay or casual dining, especially for those who prefer a contemporary hotel experience.
This hotel was clean, recently refurbished and comfortable. Showers were quite nice. It has a parking deck which is nice if you have a vehicle, but it is not the most convenient hotel for things within walking distance. Harvard Square is about a 20 minute drive away.
The hotel its self is pretty nice! Good clean rooms, nice amenities, would recommend it to anyone. However I’m not here to talk about that, I’m here to talk about the incredible staff. Our car had the battery die and the staff went out of their way to help jump start us. Even went as far as to help us figure out how to put the car in neutral with a locked gear stick. Everyone was incredible and deserves a raise I swear. Very very grateful for all the help we received and highly recommend this place for your next stay in Boston.
Wonderful greeting at the reception desk from the Guest Supervisor, Expert Brody Runyon. So friendly, accommodating, professional, and welcoming! He went above and beyond to make our stay an excellent experience! Rooms were spotless, modern, and upgraded. Comfortable beds with fresh, new bedding. Great breakfast! If you ever stay at this hotel, ask for Brody Runyon, and you’ll be all set! Definitely recommend.
Extremely clean and modern. Rooms spacious and beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend!
Off a turnpike access road and surrounded by greenery, this contemporary hotel lies within the Discovery Park research campus, 5 minutes' walk from the Alewife T station and 3 miles from Harvard Square.
