Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Chris wrote a review Feb 2024
Westminster, Colorado51 contributions8 helpful votes
The room was aesthetically appealing, albeit a few hairs in the bathroom and a cracked toilet seat. Had the hotel not been located right next to a highway and my room on the second floor directly facing the highway, I might have liked this hotel. As it stands, I didn't enjoy my two nights here because it was so noisy and difficult to sleep through the night. They provide ear plugs but they should have built hotel better to block out the noise. Instead, they rely on travelers to shove something into their ears. I will look at other options if I'm in Boston again.

We were in town for a Boston College Game and to visit Family. The AC Hotel Downtown Boston was phenomenal. The location was convenient. The rooms and overall hotel were great, but the service was the differentiator! Evan, Shawn the Houseman, Tashiana at Front Desk and Anna in Housekeeping made our stay memorable. They were incredibly kind and helpful going out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. We will return because of how simple they made it. In what was a very cold weekend, they definitely made it warm through genuine hospitality. I’m grateful and want to salute this property on service.

Really lovely stay! Rachel and the rest of the staff were very helpful and welcoming. We were pleasantly surprised how quiet the room was, despite the close proximity to the major highways. Very comfortable way to spend a snowy day in Boston! Walking distance to Chinatown and the rest of Boston (although be prepared to walk along the main roads for a bit). Great stay all around!

Courteous staff, clean property, and prompt customer service. The hotel is in central location to downtown Boston and the price is reasonable. We walked to most of Boston from the property, and ride shares were also readily available due to the location. Would recommend!

We have stayed at this AC Marriott location several times and always have a great stay. Clean comfortable rooms, pleasant staff, and convenient location. Extra holiday touch over Christmas with hot cocoa and complimentary breakfast items in the lobby. We will be back!

This hotel is my go to hotel for Boston Business and Personal travel. The location is optimal for the airport and close enough for downtown meetings. I have stayed in a lot of Marriot properties, enough to get a “lifetime” status. With that said, this place is exceptionally well run, clean, professional and accommodating - and that is in comparison to 1000’s of night staying in other places. Would highly recommend.

Very clean modern hotel in the heart of the cool Ink Block area.... great proximity to the South End/Back Bay if you are a walker. Bathrooms were very clean and functional. Stayed on the side towards the Ink Block....it was quiet. Will stay again!

Great location & surrounding. Many great restaurants and facilities. Great staff that is welcoming & appreciate customers. Hotel is modern, clean and has one of the best European breakfast in town. Although I think they need to add a chocolate croissant ( from a French bakery) to complete the experience. Parking is a bit expensive and they should find a way to minimize that cost so it’s a no brainer for anyone coming to this hotel with a car. Thanks to the staff for always having a great experience.

I stayed last week for a brief overnight business trip. The valet was simple and seamless, as was check in. I was upgraded using a SNA that was set to expire at the end of the year, and the room was nice. The only problem was that it was on the highway side, so it was a bit noisy. There was a white noise machine in the room which helped to drown out the road noise. I had breakfast in the morning downstairs, which had an additional charge for prepared eggs, but they were worth it. I would stay here again.

AC Hotel by Marriott is my favorite Boston hotel. It's away from central downtown and borders South End next to new restaurants. It is an easy walk for me to work in Back Bay. The rooms are clean and I like that the room floor are not carpeted. The staff are always welcoming and on top of it. The bartender in the lounge is personable and a joy.
