Comfortable for a great Boston visit
Our room was immaculate and nicely appointed. Comfortable bed and sitting area. Kitchenette with full sized fridge. Staff were friendly and professional. While it is obviously perfect for visiting Fenway, the location is also pretty convenient for visiting downtown and universities such as Northeastern and NECM as well as nearby museums. We visited in late November outside of high season.

The Residence Inn is conveniently located, just a 5-7 minute walk from Kenmore Station. The room included a kitchenette, which was a nice feature. The breakfast was good, offering a variety of options, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, there are a few things to consider before staying here. The room size was adequate if you don’t plan to use the sofa bed, but with the sofa bed open, the space felt cramped. Additionally, the sofa bed was too soft, noisy, and not comfortable for sleeping. The bathroom lacked storage space, such as racks or shelves, for clothes or personal items like a phone, which was inconvenient. I also had an issue with the USB charger in the room—after charging my phone overnight, it wouldn’t turn on the next day. There is construction outside the hotel, which wasn’t noisy during our stay, but the sidewalk was closed. There was no pedestrian crossing directly in front of the hotel, requiring guests to walk in the opposite direction to find a crosswalk before heading toward Kenmore Station. This might be inconvenient for some travelers. Overall, the hotel offers a convenient location and decent amenities, but there are some areas that could use improvement to enhance the guest experience.

Very close to Fenway Park, and all the amenities are here in the suite room, which was spacious and had the basics, including a very well-lit bathroom mirror. Also, the breakfast was robust and plentiful, and we enjoyed the small, heated indoor pool. The layout was awkward in a few places, such as where the shower door hits the bathroom door and blocks off the towel rack, and the TV stand making it hard to get to the left side of the bed. And I was hoping to have an in-room safe. But overall, very good experience, and we'll likely be back!

While the hotel looks nice and was clean, we encountered what I would deem austerity conditions. We received one half dollar sized bar of soap to be used at the sink and in the shower. When the cups in the lobby for coffee ran out they were not replaced. When going to the desk to alert them to this fact, we were handed one cup. There are none of the niceties that most hotels supply like shower caps, sewing kits, etc..I, in fact needed a sewing kit because a button on my coat became loose. We received a small sewing kit after going to the desk. In order to use the internet, you have to join the Bonvoy club. Unfortunately our room was right next to the gym and we were awakened at 6 am because of someone working out and banging something repeatedly. Not used to this type of service from Marriott.
