Hotels near Playground, Brookline

We were moving our daughter into college nearby - she and her dad drove xcountry with her car and we needed a place to park a car while we were here that was easier to access than her campus parking. The people complaining about the parking clearly have not paid the parking fee at the larger hotels in the city. $9 is a bargain and the reason we chose this place. We also appreciated the very reasonable room rate and location in a leafy neighborhood walking distance to some of our favorite places and our daughters dorm. It is not fancy, the furnishings are dated, linens just ok, in room bathrooms adequate but tiny, very little space for clothes and the breakfast is nothing to write home about. On the plus it is clean and the location is great. The value for money in Boston is hard to beat. If you need more modern updated accommodations without the quirks of an old home you will pay a lot more. Honestly, some of the higher end places we stayed had similar issues due to age but had just put a prettier cover on top and charged several times more. We would definitely stay again for visits to see our daughter. Very responsive and nice staff. We made a request to move to a room with a king bed our third night when it became available and they had no problem accommodating our request.

Me, my wife and 15 year old stayed here for one night for the Dead and company concert at Fenway. This hotel was only 1.2 miles from the park. It's a great hotel! Clean, quiet and very nice front desk. Parking is 40 bucks a night, but free on the street for handycap parking only. You can grab an uber to Fenway for 10 bucks,nor take the trolly. But you need to purchase a CharlieCard to ride the trolly. Also, we walked back to the hotel after Fenway and it took 20 minutes. Would highly recommend for a night or more. Pricey, but all hotels in Boston are high priced in summer.

I arrived early and they were able to find me a room that was available which was very nice. As a Globalist they offered a 4 pm checkout and free breakfast. Got a nice room facing the Charles River. A pleasant stay and very convenient to MIT. Also nice that they now have a shuttle that will take you to Kendall, Central or Harvard Square.

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.

As a travel nurse, I need a good extended stay location. Located in Waltham right off 95, this usually quiet hotel has friendly staff, clean rooms, and located 20 minutes from everything you need. Housekeeping was thorough and punctual, all of the appliances worked as intended (when my kitchen light blew, they had it fixed before I came back from work,) and they’re able to fix all property-related issues that arise. Overall, I stayed 9 months, and if I had to, I would stay 9 more.

Very well-appointed, modern rooms, large bathrooms, great meeting space catering. My only complaint was that I came down late one evening to get fresh towels for my room and the front desk associate rolled her eyes and sighed because housekeeping was already closed and she would have to search for towels. Another associate was coming to the front at the same time and I believe she saw her reaction and volunteered to grab them for me. I was shocked and puzzled by this behavior, but didn’t say anything because the other associate went above and beyond to remedy. Considering housekeeping now comes at request only and some of us are still figuring that out, you might want to leave extra toiletries and towels somewhere assessible to the front desk so the staff doesn’t have to go far too find them for guests in need - and most importantly - not be annoyed by such a simple request.

Clean and comfy. Appreciated the breakfast which had hot food (scrambled eggs , sausage make own waffles as well as pastries/bagels/cereals/yogurt/fruits - Used their airport shuttle. But a bit noisy from vehicles on the street. Didn’t sleep well.

I just recently stayed at this hotel Four Points by Sheraton in Norwood. I will say thank you to Jane, Front Office Manager, she was very helpfull from when I check-in till the end. She gives me some details, where to visit, and shopping area. The Restaurant Bistro very nice, food are great. Not even to mention Zaccharia's Restaurant for breakfast is very very good. I will definitely recommend this hotel. What about the room, spacious and comfortable and clean. A Big Thank you too all staff👏👏👏👏👏👌

Dont the unique decor of the hotel fool you. Outside the decor of the hotel, the rest is just gabbage, it shouldn't be part of the Hilton branch. I travel into Boston every week on assignment and it so happen that am currently staying in this hotel right now. I always have great experience in all the Hilton hotels I have been staying with except this particular one. I am suppose to be staying here for 4 days, and 3 day into my stay. Last night, as I was relaxing and having a cup of wine, the glass felt off my hand and spill on the bed. I had to use a towel to cover that side of the bed in order to be able to sleep on the bed till in the morning. I got in touch with the front desk at 7am this morning before going to work to let them know that I needed my bed sheet changed due to the spill drink. The lady at the front desk, assured me that it will be changed before I get back. when I got back from work at 3pm and got to my room, the bed sheet is still not changed. I called the front desk, to enquire as to why it wasn't changed. BILL at the front desk answered the phone and told me that, am not staying more than 4 days so, my room cant be clean. If I need towels, it can be send up stairs. I had to let him know again that, I had stopped at the front desk earlier today to let them know why I needed my bed sheet changed. From this point onwards he became condescending and repeat the same thing he said earlier of me not staying more than 4 days, and as I was about to say I will go down stairs to collect the bedsheet, he hang the phone on my ear. I call again to ask what was his reason for hanging up the phone on me, he didn't pick the phone. After that, I went down stairs to talk to him in person, and all he could say is, ”I did not hang up the phone, I thought you hang up, Maybe the phone got disconnected”. what a LAME ASS EXCUSE, for been UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE! This is the WORST experience I have ever had at a Hilton hotel and will never stay here again. Can't wait to check out
