The property was nice, clean and modern. The room was basic though and pretty small. The shower was awesome but the room was underwhelming for how much we paid. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

My teen and I stayed at AC Hotel Marriott Boston Downtown and couldn’t be happier. The location was really good; walkable to Chinatown, Boston Common, and more and, easy for Uber/Lyft. There are bus stops nearby (the bus stops on Washington Street and Union Park were super handy) and the Whole Foods right behind the hotel has hot buffet, pizza and other hot/cold food to take away. Our room was quiet, comfy, and well appointed. The resort fee gave us extras: tickets to the top of the Prudential Centre, a full day of bus/train travel on top of the $25 to spend at the bar/restaurant. We used it for drinks and had such a nice evening winding down after exploring the city. The staff were friendly and helpful, with the bar team making special off-menu mocktails for my teen. Overall: For the price, this hotel exceeded our expectations which was a great result. Great location, fantastic staff, and perks that made our stay even more enjoyable. Definitely recommended!
