Hampton Inn Boston Natick

8/10 Good

"Location"

Aloft by Marriott Framingham

10/10 Excellent

"I was impressed by the decor, the good size comfortable room and it was the quietest hotel room I have ever slept in, which was really important as I needed a good sleep before a road race in the morning. Very helpful staff. Well equipped gym and also a small pool, which seemed to work well with kids, although I would have been dizzy doing laps. Also liked the fact it is almost next door to Bertuccis. Would recommend hotel."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Needham Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!"

Monticello Inn Framingham

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Norwood-Boston Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"check in time was suppose to be 3 pm Room was not ready until after 4pm, Room was nice but there was a few of the electrical outlets not working, Breakfast was really good and plenty to eat,"

Courtyard by Marriott Boston Norwood/Canton

8/10 Good

"Hotel was good. Nothing overly special. Modified Starbucks in the lobby was nice for the morning. Layout/elevator situation is weird. Pretty sure there’s only one 1 in the entire hotel and you navigate a maze to get to your room on the other side…or so you think, because when you take the stairs back down, you end up around the corner from the lobby. Anyways. Beds aren’t super comfy, but the showers are prob the best I’ve had in a hotel. Good stay. Would stay again but try to get a first floor room"

Hilton Boston/Dedham

8/10 Good

"Nice hidden hotel off busy I-95 path."
