"SO CLOSE FOR FAR LESS"
Overall Score4.5/ 5
I recently visited the Courtyard by Marriott in Brookline Ma and was very impressed. A boutique property so close to Boston, you need to consider this hotel when you are in the area. They have a convenient Bistro featuring Starbucks coffee in the lobby and great restaurants just steps from their door. The rooms are very nice and the hotel is very clean, but all the employees emphasize the importance of friendly service since there are many options for the travelers coming to this area. For the business person that needs to be in Boston, the MBTA green line is directly across the street that can get you into Boston in minutes. Close to Cambridge, there are many colleges and historical areas this make this the perfect hotel for a getaway weekend. The convenience of staying in the hub of activity is important, but more importantly the cost of staying in Brookline is more cost effective than staying in Boston proper. Being able to enjoy such a quality property only minutes from Boston makes this property the perfect option on your next trip to the New England area.

Verified Reviews of Courtyard by Marriott Boston Brookline
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Convenient hotel in Brookline."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
They try hard and are very nice. The place is a bit tired and the housekeeping could be better. Amenities are slimāno robes, one tiny bar of soap. No magnifying mirror in the bathroom. They recently got new towels finally. If you want to be in Brookline, this is the best hotel there. The lobby cafe is a great addition for good coffee and snacks and there is a small indoor pool!

"Excellent Hotel, Service & Breakfast"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I was only in Brookline for a couple of nights but was very impressed with the quality of the building, restaurant and most of all, the always polite, kind and helpful staff at the front desk! Will be returning in October and am looking forward to it very much. Breakfast was outstanding, the room outstanding, the TV and also appreciated the excellent hot water in the bathroom!
