MA Boston Residence Inn Framingham

[footloose]

This property was an amazing value for our family! We stayed 3 nights in April, 2005 for a winning bid of $48 per room, per night. We had 2 suites, each with kitchen, living area with L-shaped sofa-bed, seperate bedroom, bathroom, and two TVs. Each morning we enjoyed a fantastic free breakfast buffet that included scrambled eggs, sausage patties, seasoned potatoes, assorted breads and pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, cooked oatmeal with toppings, cold cereals, hot and cold beverages, and make-your-own Belgian waffles. After a hearty breakfast, we would drive to the Riverside Green Line T station (a 15 minute drive), park our van for $2.65, and ride the T into Boston. We would explore the city all day and then splurge on a great restaurant meal in the evening. The one evening that we came back to the hotel around 6:00pm, we took advantage of the free evening meal which on that night was tossed salad, chicken strips, and beverages. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, although the hours are somewhat limited. Very clean and quiet property with friendly staff, easy highway access, and free parking. Great value for families. We loved this place!

Successful $50 priceline bid

Overall good value, clean but with some noise from the turnpike and at least 3 mile drive to the Commuter rail link to Boston.

Very close to the Mass Pike (I 90) out of Boston on a business park. Ample free parking all around the building

Not obvious from the turnpike as to its location, get directions from the hotel web-site.

No mention of Pl on check-in, given room 235 (see photo). Staff very friendly

This room was adjacent to the turnpike (behind the trees) but the traffic noise was evident most of the time.

Suggest you ask for a room on higher floors or at least in the range 09-025 (see map)

Floor plan

Spacious room clean and with the usual Residence Inn facilities.

Nice shower and towels clean and in good condition.

Plenty of closet and drawer space.

Free Internet access.

Daily, Free breakfast was very good, juices, coffee, eggs, sausage, muffins, toast, yoghurts, fruit.

Weekday Free evening snack OK, pasta or salads with non alcoholic drinks.

Small pool and gym

Pool open at hours dictated by the presence of the life guard. Mainly most of the evening and some hours in the morning.

Commuter link operates daily but with very restricted times outside of commuter hours (obvious really!)Parking is $2.00 for the day. Drive to rail link is about 3 miles.

Shops etc on the close I 90 in the direction to Boston.

Reception hands out directions cards for local supermarket, train station etc.

A good bargain and location to tour the area. Train access to Boston a little awkward.

I would revisit if I was touring the surroundings.
