Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton ★★★

"Nice staff. Room was heated by a very loud blower. Windows not double-glazed so sounds from highway very loud. Windows themselves filthy."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Acton ★★

The Royal Sonesta Boston ★★★★

Families will love the amazing heated indoor pool here, perfect for kids to splash around after visiting nearby museums.

Courtyard Boston Natick ★★★

"Excellent, highly recommended place to stay for those driving."

Harvard Square Hotel ★★★

"I arrived at the hotel at 8am, and they kindly accommodated my early check-in. There was a drink bar next to the check-in counter, so I was able to relax and have a cup of coffee while I waited. I would definitely use this service again the next time I visit Harvard."

Aloft Lexington ★★★

"Good service, clean"

Red Roof Plus+ Boston - Framingham ★★

"Poor sound insulation, dirty carpet"

Cambria Hotel Boston Somerville ★★★

"I stayed here during my school visit. Next door is Fried** and Donuts. The hotel's own restaurant is highly rated, but unfortunately I missed the Italian food I had at Italian Street in the evening. I took a taxi for all my trips, which was quite convenient."

Encore Boston Harbor ★★★★★

"It was a generally good stay, with nice amenities and a spacious room. There was one issue that came up: the Trip.com website stated that the room would be on the 27th floor. However, when checking in, the reception at the Encore hotel said the highest they could give me was the 17th floor, 10 floors below what was promised, even though I showed them my reservation detailing that reserved room was on the 27th floor. A second issue to be aware: this establishment that calls itself a "resort hotel" does not have a mini-fridge in the room. One can rent one for $40/night, which is a bit mind-boggling. The only fridge in the room is dedicated for the mini-bar. However, one cannot use that fridge because any movement of items in it would incur a charge since the sensor system, which tracks each bottle, would trigger a charge to the room. This meant I could not place my perishable item in the mini-bar fridge by shifting the alcoholic bottles to make space for my perishable items. Otherwise, this was overall a pleasant stay."
