    Riverfront Boathouse - evening sun at the boathouse

    Riverfront Boathouse

    (7 reviews)

    North Meadows

    A beautiful park! It was the perfect place for the Head of the Riverfront Regatta wasn't pleased…read morewith the parking situation but that had nothing to do with the park. When the crew races are there it is extremely packed so it's not really a good time to take a leisurely stroll as there are literally thousands of people there. Beautiful place to take pictures by the water or the boathouse especially at this time of the year with the leaves.

    What a hidden gem within Hartford! I was here for a low-key corporate picnic. The Boathouse sits…read moreright on the Connecticut River and functions as both practical boathouse (lower level) and event space (upper level). The parking was incredibly convenient and directions to the Boathouse itself were very clear. We did have a small spot of difficulty finding the door to go to the upper level however. Once upstairs, the view of the CT River, East Hartford, and Hartford was spectacular. The late summer afternoon sun plus faint breeze made for a perfectly comfortable time. People mingled at standing tables and around the benches on the upper deck (and there were a respectable number of benches, which isn't often the case). Inside the event space were polished wooden floors and high ceilings. A coworker noted the restrooms were somewhat oddly placed behind a long hallway closed off by a door and there were some cobwebs in the window frames, but otherwise the space was quite nice. The staff at the bar on the deck poured wine just shy of the adjective "liberal" which was great. However, some other coworkers had to request adjustments of the food arrangement to prevent cross-contamination for those with allergies (adjustments were made promptly). The food - seasonal tapenade for appetizers and build-your-own pasta bar for the main - were well done otherwise with a good array of options. On the whole, a respectable event space on a scenic river. There were other groups actively using the rowing space/lower level, but you could barely tell because the upper level was high enough away.

    Let me start by saying that Marx Entertainment provided both DJ services and Photo Booth services…read morefor our wedding. We were very unhappy with the DJ but happy with the Photo Booth set up and staff. My husband and I had DJ Craig for our wedding in September 2023. We had two meetings with him beforehand were we discussed how we would like the night to run. In addition to a list of "must-play" songs (something we were encouraged to complete), we discussed how we would like our table-dash, anniversary dance, alumni photo, and private dance to operate. We also noted on multiple occasions during both calls that we DID NOT want a lot of remixes. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with how DJ Craig managed all of these aspects except for the table dash and private dance. Here is where our issues lie: - Out of our 30 or so must play songs maybe half were played. - As laid out on the Marx Entertainment website we chose a "last song" for the dance floor. DJ Craig played the song we designated as our last song as a way to open the dance floor. - The first 30 minutes were exclusively remixes and bad ones at that. It got to the point where we said something to DJ Craig, and while the music did get better, he still continued to play remixes. Honestly, a Spotify playlist would have been better. - The anniversary dance was something DJ Craig suggested and we loved the idea. However, instead of doing what he had described to us where he starts calling people off the dance floor after some dancing and starting with short time increments, DJ Craig called for anyone married for less than 5 years to leave the dance floor after approximately 20 seconds. People hadn't even REACHED the dance floor to start dancing at that point, including the parents of the groom. Not to mention we are a young couple and that kicked more than half of the people off the dance floor in one sweep. - College alumni photo was announced at a very weird time and very rushed. Just felt awkward - We were immediately asked once the lights turned on to provide a positive video review for DJ Craig. This was extremely uncomfortable and we gave dishonest feedback during it. We would NOT recommend him. Like I said previously, the Photo Booth staff was excellent and we loved the book they made us. We also had no issues with booking or prior communication with Marx. While the set up and logistical execution of the event went well we didn't feel our opinions were considered at all in song selection and that the fun mini-events we had throughout the night went poorly

    We used MARX Entertainment for our wedding. They were easy going before the big day making sure…read morethey had all our speciality music. Day of they arrived ahead of time and set up both the ceremony area and reception area. they selected excellent music and our guests had a blast.

    I booked for one night since I would be at the (almost) end of driving after a long-distance move…read moreand thought this would be a good way to sleep so I could wake up early and get the last 120 miles of the trip in. I stay - on average - 20-25 nights per year at Residence Inns and am rarely disappointed, but this was really exceptional in terms of bad: I originally thought I would arrive around 9pm, but called around dinnertime to say I would still be there but it might be closer to 11pm (this was actually the most pleasant interaction as the woman who answered the phone was very nice). My 325 mile trip wound up taking almost 10.5 hours, so you can imagine how tired I was when I arrived at the hotel just before 2am, right? Unfortunately for me, the night auditor doesn't understand much. First he asked if I had a reservation? I cannot stand that question, isn't it obvious at 2am on a weekday, I'm tired and have luggage?? Then he told me all about the "no party" policy and had me read/sign a consent form (I just signed, I have no idea what it said). Then he gave me a key and said I was all set, but I told him I couldn't be because I needed to give him my new credit card. He INSISTED that the credit card was in the reservation; well, technically "A" credit card was in the reservation, but that was connected to my Marriott profile and had been in there for years. Someone stole my card a few weeks prior, so there was absolutely no way that card would authorize for the stay. He insisted it would. I insisted it wouldn't. Was the room any better?? No, it smelled as though I was the first person to be in there in months - an odd combination of mildew and some random odor - which was less than desirable but I was tired and couldn't imagine dealing with the night auditor again. The bed was awful - no idea how old the mattress was, but it was definitely lumpy and everytime I moved the slightest bit, it creaked. Thank God I was on the first floor otherwise the people below me would have thought it was a wild party in that bedroom. The icing on the cake was the bathroom (pictures attached), see that gross tub and wall/floor behind the toilet? Maybe housekeeping thinks no one will notice, but how could anyone NOT notice?? And all of the dirt/dust on the closet door tracks?? Gross. I left at 8am, thrilled to have had almost no sleep and a nasty shower but so glad to be gone! Unfortunately I did not receive a survey from Marriott 48 hours later, and when I emailed Jim Marcil (the GM) directly, he never replied. NEVER. REPLIED. He is also the GM of the Courtyard across the street, so I have crossed that off my list and you should as well.

    DO NOT STAY HERE. Pick another hotel in the area. General manager lacks any and all ability to…read morehave a cordial conversation. As a platinum elite member, my experience has lost any loyalty I have had for Marriott and have already completed a status match to Hilton and will be taking my loyalty elsewhere. I stay on average 100+ nights in hotels a year and the actions of the general manager have caused me to AVOID MARRIOT AT ALL COSTS.
