What guests think

Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Back Bay/Fenway draws praise for its walk-to-Fenway location, clean and spacious suite-style rooms with kitchens, and friendly, accommodating staff, while recurring complaints cite construction noise and expensive valet-only parking.

Guests frequently commend the hot breakfast for variety and quality, though a few found it average or crowded during renovation. Suites are comfortable and well equipped, but some report maintenance or comfort issues such as spotty Wi‑Fi/TV, temperature swings, or less‑comfortable sofa beds. Amenities like the rooftop terrace and small indoor pool are a plus, yet intermittent closures, limited bar service, and gym access constraints are noted. Overall, expect a convenient, comfortable base by Fenway.

Pool was not available as promised and mgr made no adjustment to compensate, despite our mentioning that we chose the hotel for the pool as described. Bed and couch were uncomfortable, rigid materials rather than the luxurious usually found in a Marriots. Price of $70 per night for in building valet parking is absurd. Not impressed. I have stayed at over 20 hotels recently, and this one was not up to usual. Was clean and maintained though. Expect more than that for the high nightly rate.

Great place to stay if going to Fenway, just a short walk. Staff were very nice. Room had a view of Fenway & Citgo sign. We didn’t get a chance to use the fitness center but just stop in to check it out and looked nice, clean. The roof top terrace was nice. Good buffet breakfast. Only negative was that the pool was closed for maintenance which was a disappointment.

We stayed in a king suite and the room was very clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable and felt clean. The lady at the front desk that greeted us and checked us in was very nice. We signed up to become members of the rewards program because they gift you 5000 points just to sign up which is also free to do. Great location downtown, super walkable to Fenway and to some great restaurants. We had dinner across the street at Yard House and 10/10 recommend eating there, all food was excellent. The only thing I would make clear about the hotel is that the only parking options are $70 valet or street parking. There is no parking garage or complimentary parking. With that being said, we went during a week there was no baseball game so it was relatively easy to find street parking. Overall a great stay, would def stay here again.

The entire room was covered in a thick film of dust, there were hairs in and on the toilet, as well as feces stains. If I wasn't in a time crunch to prep for a medical procedure the next day, we would have left the hotel entirely. As it was, my husband had to go to Target to buy disinfectant so that we would feel ok using the bathroom.

The pool was closed and there was construction being done, which is fine, but it would have been nice to see this on the website before reserving. We stayed on the 4th floor and it smelled like dog poop. There were stains on the hallway carpets as well. Staff were very friendly and nice which was a plus and our room was clean.

Poor communication about absence of housekeeping on daily basis or the fact that their workout facility is not available until you’ve reserved, paid, and past the deadline for a refund. Seems like intentional scamming of clients. The area is under a lot of construction and is always busy

Valet was a nightmare. Chris the person running valet was extremely rude and inhospitable. Lights kept going off in our room due to the breaker overloading. Dirty sheets on our sofa bed that we had to request clean new sheets. Gross. The hallway carpet looked stained and smelt like animal urine. Took 45 minutes to get our car from valet upon leaving. Close location to Fenway but not worth the premium.

The room itself was nice enough but a few things really bothered me about my stay where I can't justify the massive price tag. There was no parking lot or garage, but instead valet-only parking for $68/day. I ended up parking at the 401 garage down the street which had EV spots open. There was also no room service which wasn't a deal breaker but a bit annoying considering they do have a kitchen. The part that bothered me the most though was at 6am sharp the construction right outside my window from the adjacent lot was enough to wake even the most sound sleeper and it didn't stop until I left.

We stayed 1 night here over the 4th of July. The hotel is super close to Fenway Park. We interacted with 3 different people at the front desk during our stay- Philippe, Jazzmen, and another young lady (sorry I can’t remember her name) and they were all helpful and courteous. The valet parking for the car was smooth and the staff members in this area were also very pleasant and efficient. Our room was great- clean and had everything we needed. We had planned on attending the fireworks along the river but were tired and instead decided to watch them from the rooftop terrace. This worked fine as well. We enjoyed the free breakfast the next day. Just wanted to note that we received service above and beyond from Philippe and Jazzmen when dealing with a lost wallet scare.

This is a great location with lots or places to eat and shop around and easy to walk into the downtown. Good breakfast and not crazy busy. I really wanted to swim but the pool is very small and really for kids to play in. We went for a drink on Saturday early evening to rooftop bar but it was not open which not open with was a bit of bummer. Also there was noisy building works next door. We were warned and had asked for room away from it but was right across from it as we were jet lagged it was not that big of a deal. Saying all the the staff, location and cleanliness were all great. I will stay again.
