MA Boston Hampton Inn Boston Logan Airport

[thesqueegeekid]

I presented my HH Gold card at check-in and was upgraded to a suite for my five night stay. The suite ... huge huge huge ... the size of two of their normal rooms combined. One room contained a full living room, small dining table, an additional round table, kitchen with a fridge, microwave, toaster and dishes. The second room, was their normal king bed room. My only minor complaint about the layout was having the desk in the bedroom instead of in the living room. Highspeed internet was $10/day ... I took it for a week at $25 but was only charged for one day.

The hotel is new and they offer 24 hour shuttle service to the airport and some local restaurants.

Breakfast is simple but they do serve Tropicana OJ ... the muffins, waffles, bagels etc are 'thaw and serve' ... they need a couple seconds in the microwave to taste almost fresh!!!

This Hampton Inn has a lounge which is pretty popular with the guests and is open till midnight. Many guests also order in and eat in the lounge.

squeegee has covered most of the points, I will just add a few. We arrived early (before noon), but they had a room ready and let us check in right away. We were given a king-bed room which was very clean, nicely furnished and quite spacious. It had a small sitting area with a sofa bed, coffee table and floor lamp at one end of the room. The room and all the common areas we saw were very attractive. The property is still quite new but it seems well cared for. Staff were very nice.

The location is great for airport access - you can take their free shuttle or if you are returning a rental car (as we were), you just turn right out of the hotel and drive straight to the airport. Since you are coming from the north, there are no tunnels and not much of the usual Boston street chaos to contend with.

However, the location is not great if you don't have a car and are looking to walk somewhere. There really is nothing interesting right by the hotel as it appears to be mostly an industrial area. Fortunately, the shuttle will take you to local restaurants or to the nearest subway station which will allow you to get almost anywhere in town. You can phone when you get back to this station and they will come and pick you up and take you back to the hotel.

We were very happy with our stay.
