The Marriott Residence Inn Boston Harbor on Tudor Wharf was a great place to stay while we recently spent a 4-night weekend in Boston. While not “in the heart of town” it did offer some other benefits, like quiet neighborhood, close to USS Constitution, and close to stop #3 on the Trolley Tour. Also, the front desk showed us a shortcut, walking along the locks over the river rather than the bridge which was very windy. It is, literally, 8 minutes to the Boston Garden, if you’re lucky enough to have tickets for a Celtics or Bruins game. It was also less than a 30 minute walk to Boston Commons and 20 to the North End.
Rooms could use a little TLC, with newer TV’s and a better HVAC system, which was very noisy at times. Front desk staff was helpful with local places to grab a beer and sandwich – check out Max & Dylan’s, Warren Tavern, or Tavern on the Water (good appetizers and views), all less than 10 minutes walking distance.
Nice breakfast buffet, which was crowded, but the staff managed it well.
If flying into Boston, skip renting a car and pack your walking shoes!
