Boston Marriott Newton

This being a Marriott, the hotel is decent as usual. But considering the price of over 200 per night nothing to rave about, overpriced in my opinion. The food is good, the location is great of course, the service is good, and the rooms are clean. No complaints. The facility itself is outdated and worn, however, in need of renovation in many respects. My room had a football size bubble on the popcorn ceiling, right over the bed, lol, the only place I am guaranteed to stare at the ceiling. Previous water damage left to be there for every guest. The elevators are tiny and can't handle the number of guests. It's a decent place overall and probably an awesome one for the Boston crowd, but my expectations were greater considering the rates.

I made a mistake when I reserved the room.. Jeremia fixed the issue and then made us Is customer of the day. Top notch customer service. When I come to Boston , I will not stay anywhere else.

The room is clean and neat. I wish if they could provide a kettle in the room to boil water for some cup of tea. Prices are reasonable for the location and the view. Kayaking is just next door "5 minutes walk" which I enjoyed very much.

This place is the real deal. Completely decked out for Christmas when I was there (Dec 24) and amazingly great service in spite of the major holiday. Room with a view 651 and a great site of snowing on the Charles River through a tree - a very peaceful moment was found. The beds are top notch, the shower could have been a little better but water pressure was good and overall the room as quaint and cozy - a super stay. I ate breakfast as well which was pricey but delicious. Overall this place is A+ and I'd definitely recommend and stay here again!

Satisfactory, but no longer a crown jewel The Newton Marriott is a large hotel/motel more than 50 years old. It’s near routes 128, I-95 and I-90, but as of late November 2025 there is construction at the nearby highway interchange resulting in some inconvenience. The architecture is somewhat brutalist. The good points: The staff is knowledgeable and courteous; service at all levels is excellent. The rooms are clean and everything works. Happily, there is no stereotypical hotel odor in the rooms or corridors. The restaurant food is good albeit with a rather limited menu. For dinner, I had boneless beef short ribs, low fat in a nice jus sauce; my wife had an exquisite Italian wedding soup along with generous, meaty wings. The breakfast bar (included in the room rate) is comprehensive, and I see no need to order any additionally priced items. We enjoyed a very nice though expensive Thanksgiving buffet brunch. There is a resident swan in the river behind the hotel, visible from the rooms on our side. The weak points: Rooms have refrigerators but no microwaves; there is only one customers’ microwave in the hotel, located in a corner of the top floor. Although the rooms are adequately renovated, you can find a bit of wear and tear in corners. Rooms contain a comfortable desk chair, but the accompanying “lounge” chair (see photo) is uncomfortable.

We went to a Cultural Festival there and the service was great. We had a buffet of all types of food from different countries. The function room was beautiful and well kept up.

Brisa is a wonderful front desk representative. She helped us with all of our questions and we really appreciate her genuine desire to make sure we had what we needed. Thank you for having such a wonderful person on staff she is a person I would want to represent my organization.

I travel quite a bit - don’t normally notice too much or leave reviews. However I feel that the kindness of the staff at this Marriott was notable. Overnight staff went above and beyond to accommodate me.
