What guests think

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Boston Marlborough/Apex Center earns consistent praise for its friendly, helpful staff, very clean spaces, and a highly convenient location near Apex Center, restaurants, shops, and area sports venues.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, with quiet floors available on request, though some guests noted occasional noise, minor wear in common areas, and isolated maintenance issues. Facilities cover basics: a small, warm indoor pool with some safety concerns, an adequate gym, and ample free parking; one elevator outage was reported. Breakfast is frequently enjoyed but inconsistently executed, with a 7 a.m. start, occasional slow service, and limited hot choices for some diets. A practical choice for families and event travelers seeking straightforward comfort.

Perfectly located hotel in a high attraction area. The hotel appears well-maintained, with only minor aesthetic blemishes. Our room and the beds were very comfortable. Kids enjoyed using the indoor pool, which is open daily, 6AM - 11PM. The pool is a little on the small side, but water is warm and depth is fairly shallow (3 - 4.5ft), which is ideal for younger kids. One major caution is that the outside of the pool is VERY slick when wet. We had 3 falls in a short period of time, 2 of which were from just walking. Complimentary breakfast the next morning was fairly average, but appreciated. The employee working the breakfast area, however, seemed to be in a bad mood. We witnessed him bark at a young child who had closed the waffle maker, causing it to beep. Not a great look. All the other staff we encountered at the desk and through the halls was very kind and courteous, however. Overall a good experience and very good value for the price. Will plan on making a return visit.

We liked the area of the property and the fact that it was a convenient location. The property was clean but pretty basic. We had some very noisy neighbors who were running up and down the halls until 11pm at night but that is not the fault of the hotel. The breakfast was very disappointing and could have been better. The fresh fruit was good, but for the hot breakfast there were no scrambled eggs or potatoes, only two options with pork, which we don't eat so we had no hot food option.

My stay was less than desirable. My air conditioner didn’t work and froze up. When I called the desk was told they couldn’t help me as there was only 1 employee on duty in the hotel. My toilet then wouldn’t flush and I again called for assistance and was told they couldn’t do anything as only 1 employee and that person couldn’t leave the desk. I had to insist on a new room and had to go downstairs to the desk to obtain another room and room keys then move all my belongings . I had requested room service with clean towels each day as it was offered and this didn’t happen either. I had to make trips down to the lobby with my dirty towels in order to get new clean ones. Every time I used the elevator the smell of pot was so strong that I wanted to vomit. I have stayed at this hotel in the past but this visit was the absolute worst. Very didi for a Marriot hotel.
