It did the job, with the extra costs I would have probably paid more to stay closer.
Pros:

Nice aesthetic, good sized bathrooms

Cons:

Mattress not so comfy, blocked toilets multiple times, confusion about the 25 dollar food and beverage credit

Enjoyable Stay
Pros:

In town for a business trip. Fantastic location. Nice rooms, excellent staff, good breakfast. Overall an enjoyable stay. I stay at either Marriott or Hilton brands for the points. This was the first time staying at an AC Hotel (Marriott). I will be back again next time I'm in Boston.

Hidden fees be aware
Pros:

Be careful when you booked a room there the parking is an extra $60 and they have hidden fees that they charge on top of the room. Very disappointing I don't think I will go back just for that reason.

Good experience
Pros:

Good location in a separate enclave with good restaurants, cafes handy. Good sized separate dining room for breakfast, nice bar and casual eating either from the bar menu or bring in. Next door to a fantastic supermarket ‘Wholes Foods Market’ where you can buy ready made food and eat on their premises. Easy walking to subway. Good value all round.

Pricey, some issues with cleanliness, but
Pros:

It was comfy and dark for sleeping

Cons:

It was dirty. There was a shirt left by the couch, the were some dust bunnies behind the chair, hand prints on bathroom door and the sinks had hair in there and were dirty. I asked for a special gift since it was a special trip. They said they’d put chocolate strawberry’s , which is I get is above and beyond. But there were no strawberry’s. Just don’t say you’ll do it you don’t.

Cold water in shower. Very dark room.
Pros:

Cold water in shower. I stay 75 nights a year in Marriotts and almost never get a hotel that doesn't have hot water. Very dark room. I would look elsewhere for a nearby hotel in Boston to airport.
