Boston – Boylston Properties is planning to construct a 148-room Marriott Residence Inn on Arsenal Street in Watertown, a new extended-stay hotel in an underserved area that will have amenities including a pool, fitness center, and a top-floor lounge and balcony with views of Boston and the Charles River.
The planned six-floor hotel will feature a meeting room for guests, dining room for daily breakfast and evening socials, a small guest marketplace, guest laundry facilities, a business center, and a lounge with seating for hotel guests and visitors.
