Barman has an attitude problem… why? Cheer up mate. Serve with a smile because we pay your wages.

The food and service were excellent. No vegan options identified on the menu, but they were happy to work with the kitchen to provide a meal I could eat. Girlfriend had a lobster pasta and said it was some of the best she'd ever had.

The food is constantly well prepared and yummy, employees provides excellent customer service. I really like how clean it is and mood. I highly recommend this place.

I'm not used to rude staff when I stay at a Marriott, but the day-shift clerk easily convinced my wife and I to leave 10 days early. The night-shift clerk (Diana) was tremendous, but for the girl on day-shift, obviously customer service is not her forte and she should seek employment elsewhere so not to have to deal with customers. We easily found another hotel, where the room air conditioning actually works and they have maid service, and were treated like paying customers.

Stayed here overnight without the wife so maybe that put me in a bad mood and thus this mixed review! Brought my son for an overnight at Brandeis and this property is located about 4 miles from campus. There is a ton of construction going on around this hotel and the roads are confusing, and I got the feeling the car GPS literally threw her hands up in the air and said "enough!" Above the hotel, further up the hill, there is a blasting zone and the roads are even more confusing up there. My hotel window overlooked the free parking area, a gas station, construction and an office building. The property is directly off 95 and if you cross 95 there is a Costco and a Home Depot and some chain-type restaurants. This entire area also has several hotels to choose from from that range from much nicer to similar and imagine no one is choosing Courtyard Marriott for the ambiance.As for the hotel, I booked last minute, meaning day of arrival and the price was $79 for a 312 sq ft. room with a king bed and a sofa bed. The lobby looks like it was renovated in the last 5 years while the rest of hotel looks like a 1970s to 1980s interior design job with boring coloring and worn carpets. BUT remind yourself $79! The room itself is relatively standard but the TV is large which is a nice touch. I imagine we all have stayed in rooms where binoculars are needed to see the tv screen... but hot here, maybe 50 inch screen which was surprising. There is a small Keurig machine which is a nice touch, as well as a small fridge. And whomever designed the room needs to be spoken to because as far as I could determine there is a light switch on the wall for a weak overhead light when you enter and one in the bathroom but everywhere else you have to manually turn the lights on whether wall units or stand alone lamps. Imagine fiddling around in really low light finding the switches. The desk had some weird bumps on it. The AC is loud as in you eventually give up trying to fall asleep and turn up the temp so it doesn't come on. The hall noise is really loud as in sounds of doors slamming all night long which is among the reasons I slept for about 4 hours. I get the feeling a lot of families stay here and looked like there were tournaments going on with teams staying at the property. There was a pretty bad stain on the bed which I didn't see until the low light gave way to more brightness after the lights were turned on. Not sure what the stain was and definitely don't want to know! I was debating asking for a new room or getting a new bed spread... but see first line... no wife = me being in a bad mood and I have to believe she would have raised hell whereas I just dealt with it. The bed itself was too soft for my liking. The shower, along with the TV, are the best parts of this room. That shower has some serious power and the massage mode is perfect. The breakfast was grab and go and for me it was just go! No coffee or tea, just small cartons of milk, name brand cereals and some mass produced danishes.Guests and the employees were wearing masks which is important and there are hand sanitizers around the property. All in all, if the price remains below or around $80 per night this is a hotel to consider. Because of that price I feel like one should expect a mixed experience. If you want a little more luxury and a hot breakfast there are other options nearby that will range from $120-$180 per night.

The Bistro – Eat. Drink. Connect.® Is a wonderful small place inside The Marriott Hotel is a wonderful little place to get wonderful food an they make good drinks. The staff a very polite. The prices are a bit high but to be expected from a Hotel restaurant. Very clean tables. Overall a very nice experience. Definitely will be back for the best Southside drink I have had. And there Green Goddess dressing I have tasted.

Rooms are ok. Staff friendly. Lobby and Bistro have been redone recently and are pretty sleek. Bistro food is actually pretty good and has full bar. Wouldn't necessarily travel here for the food, but if staying at the hotel a night, certainly no huge need to leave and find food

Quite don't understand why all courtyard cannot be the same. Highly disappointed as this location was definitely not as modernized and clean as the other locations I have stayed at. The 1st floor is beautifully renovated but it surely doesn't match the rooms. The first room assigned to me had a hole in the bedsheet and immediately called the front desk to notify them. Later I was assigned another room that also had a hole in the bedsheet. Considering this is Marriott this was not expected. I do appreciate the room change but that honestly made no difference as the same issue persisted despite room swap. The room was decent size, clean for the most part expect for ants crawling by the tv area. Bathroom was ok as the tub had yellow stains. Upon checkout these issues were mentioned and the host simply said sorry. No further acknowledgement as to if they are going to resolve it or not. Definitely not my top pick for next time. Better than this was Best Western which is across the street about the same price.

We stayed in the Courtyard in Brookline traveling from Anchorage, Alaska to watch some baseball and tour Boston. The Bistro bar in the hotel was a great place to get something drink or eat either before you left for the day or winding down at night. The Bartender was very helpful and very proactive in making sure everyone was taken care of, she was great.

Beautiful room & hotel. Comfy ,large bed,great shower. Has a cafe inside to buy dinner. Nice not to have to leave for dinner .Had the burger & salad. Didn't like the salad but the burger was delish! Had there chocolate chip cookies, they offered to warm them up. Of course we said Yes! Such thoughtful, helpful staff. You can also buy breakfast on site

Only ordered coffee at the Bistro but the service was excellent. Pleasant and efficient even though the breakfast rush must be daunting. Starbucks products are featured. Nice area to sit a spell to regroup and recharge. Clean restrooms right nearby.
