Hotels in Newton

Oct2022: 3⭐: I selected this hotel as a result of needing a place close to the house with easy access to the airport. I selected this hotel through the Bonvoy app based on it fitting the criteria I desired. I wasn't able to get to the hotel until the afternoon hours about 1700. I picked up my spouse from the airport and we decided to get her checked in at the hotel on the way to the hospital down the toll road. I noted that the hotel was difficult to enter and it took a bit of concentration to locate the front entrance of the hotel as it sits over top of the tollway 90. There were two handicapped parking areas available at the check in lot. There is a pay parking garage attached to the hotel and adjacent to the front entrance into the hotel. The parking garage has more handicapped parking areas available and regular parking as well. The areas are not good for large trucks or RVs. The entrance was located and I parked and we went into the hotel. We walked to the front desk and a female worker didn't greet us, didn't say hello, nor did she say welcome to the hotel. The worker said ”give me your id”. My wife was standing there to my side and I looked to see if there was someone else there we had stepped in front of or cut in line. There was no one there but us. My wife said what did she say? Is this the check in desk? I commented that this is the check in window, right? What happened to the smile, good afternoon, welcome to Sheraton, or just hello. DEMANDING my identification upon entering the building was definitely not appropriate. Having a bad day isn't MY fault. I have a choice to choose this location, not the other way around. We finished the check in at the desk, paid for parking, and we went to the room. We dropped off the bags and found that the bathroom door sags and does not properly close as it's hitting the bottom of the frame. One of the window blinds wasn't properly functional. The noise canceling device and the traffic was something to tolerate. Some vehicle drivers passing under the hotel on the tollway, enjoyed throttling the engine. This added noise to an already bad situation. Decent area food spots are walking distance from the hotel.

First impression one gets of the hotel is the lobby which is very dark and depressing. It felt like the freight entrance. Second impression, I had to pay in full for my two night stay upon check-in. To me, that's not a very good sign. So, now I'm wondering if I've made mistake. I was looking to stay somewhere convenient but inexpensive as it was just me and I'm not particularly fussy. To the hotel's credit, my room was immaculate and recently updated. I was very pleased with this and expected a restful night's sleep. There was a tv, a coffee maker, a fairly large mini-fridge, and a clock radio along with the usual hotel room furnishings of a dresser, desk, desk chair, armchair, nightstand, etc. The towels were plentiful and thick enough for me and soap and shampoo were provided. However, there are powerful floodlights mounted to the exterior wall above my room's (Room 310) window that poured so much light into my room I thought it was daytime. In fact, it was 1 a.m. I only slept in short, miserable spurts after that. At any time during the night one could easily think he had overslept and a blazing mid-morning sun was shining outside. I could not risk another night without sleep so, despite having paid for a second night, I packed up and left the next day. Is it possible that those lights could be turned off past midnight or could heavy blackout curtains THAT REACH THE FLOOR be added to those room under those lights? I cannot be the only one who has brought this to your attention.

Nice hotel, about 1.7 kilometers from the nearest subway, walking distance. Many country houses nearby are beautiful, and the Charles River can be seen by opening the window.

The location is relatively good. There was also a convenience store nearby. I'm happy with my life. Although we stayed for consecutive nights, it was disappointing that there was no cleaning at all after the first night.

The hotel room is very clean, the sheets and pillows are white and white; the breakfast is very rich, you can make waffles yourself, super blueberry flavor, original flavor, and cinnamon apples. The hotel is very cost-effective, I booked it in Ctrip, a very successful choice, I have the opportunity to choose this hotel. I don't know why I can't upload photos.

I would be remiss if I didn't send a note to say THANK YOU for the hospitality I received while staying at the Homewood Suites Boston/Cambridge-Arlington, MA. This was my longest work trip since before the Pandemic and although it was all work and no play the Assistant Hotel and Guest Services Manager, Luis, and ALL of the front desk agents; Angel and Brandon in engineering; housekeeping; and the kitchen staff were SO pleasant and accommodating to make me feel at home I had to send a note expressing my appreciation. The cleanliness of the property, hallway greetings and smiles from staff, etc., confirmed I made the right choice in choosing the Homewood Suites Boston/Cambridge-Arlington, MA for this extended work stay. Having been a former employee of the Hilton chain while in college, it is Awesome to see the Excellence of the Hilton brand I loved working for continues to live up to the quality of the Hilton standards. Again, thank you and I look forward to visiting this location again for vacation.

Very cost-effective hotel As a college student, I have to stay here for one night each time I return from Boston to the village. The traffic is also very convenient. It is close to logan and south station ~ Chinatown is next to it

The hotel is strategically located, opposite naitick mail, there is Macy's Department Store, there is food court on the second floor, there is Chilefang and pizza, there is a supermarket Aldi not far away, I am very convenient to buy fruit, and the elevated road to Boston is also very close.

The friends maintained the standard they deserved, the room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was good, not too many categories but they did a good job! Parking is free, and taking children without bed is free.

I arrived at this hotel in the middle of a heatwave. There is a lot of glass in the entry ways so it was hot but I’m guessing it’s not always like that. I did really like the window nooks in the room. If I had more time it would have been the perfect spot to curl up with a book. Some staff wasn’t overly friendly but others really stood out; particularly after my stay. Just as I boarded the plane to go home, I realized that I left my full makeup bag in the bathroom of my room. I called the hotel and was told that housekeeping had collected it and saved it for me. Then enters Frank… he happened to be who answered the phone when I called and helped me coordinate getting it shipped back home. I had just purchased all new higher end makeup so Frank made my day! Moral of the story is the staff at this Hilton will help you when you need it!
