The 3* Needham property has not yet been identified, but it does not match previous reports for the Hilton (although this property hasn't been reproted thru HOTWIRE in nearly 3 years so it's quite possible the amenities have changed). HOWEVER, if you change your search to 2adults/2children what appears to be the same hotel (based upon star rating, price, and amenities) is shown but along with a Tripadvisor rating of 3.0/5.0 with 20+ reviews... this is a match for the Sheraton Needham and that would be my best guess for this one. No guarnatees that this is the same hotel apeparing for 2adults/0children (i suspect it is, but can't be certain) so if you're interested in trying to target this property it would be 'safer' to do so by purchasing as 2adults/2chidlren along with the TA info being shown.

The 3* Rockland property is a match for the Holiday Inn Brockton so that would be our best guess for that one.

No guess on the 2* property.

Thanks for the feedback. I checked the reviews on these hotels, and actually found a better deal through Hotwire for 3* below for a revised travel schedule as below and just booked it.

3* Braintree - Hampton Inn for $80 for 8/2 - 8/6

This works perfect as it's closer to my biz location + has a complimentary shuttle to Braintree T stop + complim.breakfast, and ofcourse great reviews.

Thanks for all your help.

Trip Report : A great find ! excellent value for money if you can get the Hotwire deal. Key plus points :

> Clean & Super friendly staff

> Shuttle availabilty - you don't need a rental car

> Close to Train, Mall (Southshore plaza - great restaurants and shopping), Corporate offices (Reebok HQ)

> Airport - Loga PRICELINE EXPRESS Braintree ($12) shuttle will get you in 30 min to Briantree Logan stop, and call for hotel shuttle

> Courtesy Breakfast - didn't use much, but looked lot of good stuff incldg hot item daily !

> Indoor Pool - didn't use, but saw quite few folks in it and looked clean

Wish these were better

> Fitness center - small w/essential stuff

> View from room - next to some shutdown plant : nothing great, but didn't matter to me much !

All in all love this place and would definitely stay again ! and would recommend for both business and family visiting Boston.
