Just ran my 10th Boston Marathon April 18, 2022 and was thrilled to find this gem of a hotel nestled in the Copley Place/Prudential Center area of Boston a hop, skip and a jump from the Boston Marathon finish line. Hotel is modern and clean with an amazingly professional and kind front desk staff. No attitudes anywhere here. Kimi saved my life as the new Apple iPhone update invalidated my cell phone charger and she allowed me to borrow her charger for my entire stay God bless her! She also has such a kind, welcoming smile and perfect personality for front desk staff. Jessie was delightful at check-in providing me with a huge bag of marathon treats on the house which made my stay even more amazing. Such a welcome surprise! Welcome marathon glass in my room which I was able to take home free of charge. Beautiful keepsake! Lovely historic stained-glass window in front lobby. Quaint and cozy lobby. Glass water dispenser with fresh fruit in front lobby. Delicious water! Clean. No dirt anywhere. Parking is right across the street at Prudential Center with easy access to Star Supermarket for out of town travelers. Bar and food available in lobby also. Rooms are delightful, new carpet with no stains, plenty of room for stretching pre and post run; comfortable, cozy beds; guest-controlled room temps. Can order out food from your room from Joe's, a local tasty restaurant. Boston Marathon after party right in the lobby for marathoners with free Sam Adams 26.2 beer! Hotel manager Todd Lincoln was a true gem making certain that my Prudential Center validated parking was taken care of when I had misplaced my credit card in my post marathon fog. I was with this hotel staff for 48 hrs and it felt like I was home with family. They were all so nice and cheery! I am truly grateful to the Courtyard by Marriott Boston Copley Square for making my 10th Boston Marathon so special. Hotel is one block from finish line. Easy to get to post run. Ice bath was easy post marathon! Plenty of ice available at this lovely hotel! Cannot wait to return next year. Thank you Courtyard by Marriott for making this marathon runner feel like an elite runner! A friend staying at the neighboring Copley Plaza did not have their room until around 9PM the night before the marathon. So, be careful where you book. Marriott has always been the most reliable hotel for me.
