My wife and I stayed at the Marriott for a special getaway weekend. Bonnie and Eric were fantastic helping to make our anniversary stay special. We went to the Boston Wine expo and this location worked well to get to the Seaport and also allow us to be in the Fanueil Hall area where the action is. This is a suite hotel and the extra room and amentities are wonderful.
The one downside is that, becuase you are in the bar area, when the bars close, there is a lot of commotion on the weekends. Even on the 19th floor, the noise (yelling, honking of horns) was enough to wake you from a sound sleep. There is nothing the hotel can do about this and we will stay there again but wanted to share this with the readers.

Great location and building. Certainly to remember. Rooms great, suites. Yet: breakfast very poor, and ony starting at 7am... weird hours. I guess more tuned toward vacationers. All in all, quite expensive for what you get. PS: check the lookout terrace, quite stunnig view 360 over Boston

This is a beautiful historic building. There is an observatory where you can see the whole city from it. The location is perfect. You can walk everywhere. We did not try the restaurant. But there are so many good restaurants within walking distance. The rooms are very comfortable and the decor very elegant. It is pricey but well worth it.

My family of four was looking for a place to stay the week between Christmas and New Year's. We looked around at a bunch of places. The issue was, with two teens, we needed two separate, adjoining rooms (but two hotel rooms x three days adds up to a lot) or a suite somewhere. Marriot's Custom House was far and away out best option. The suite is super-spacious, with a longish hallway separating the central area from the bedroom. Everything was comfortable and clean and we loved the kitchenette. Beyond that, it's a really interesting, old space --a domed lobby, a clock tower, an interesting mezzanine level where you can have tea and look out over cobble-stoned streets. I have never stayed in a hotel like this. Very special! Close to Quincy Market, Boston Aquarium, but somehow you don't feel like you're in a tourist trap. The 'T" is a stone's throw away, as is a quickmart-type place, where you can basic stuff like a banana. We would definitely stay here again!
