SpringHill Suites by Marriott Boston Peabody

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for a little over a week and the room and staff were great! Pool and hot tub were clean. Breakfast wasn’t the best breakfast I have ever had but it did the job for a quick fuel-up before we started our day!"

Hawthorne Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was perfect for exploring. Loved the historic charm of the building and decor. Breakfast was fantastic, Eggs Benedict were delicious, waiting on team were attentive and friendly. I only had breakfast once as the more mature manageress/senior hostess (not sure what her role was) felt unapproachable. Check in/check out was friendly and helpful. Room was clean, bed was comfy. Would definitely stay again for the location and room :)"
