Boston Marriott Newton
Room was nice and customer service was great. The proximity to the train was good - about 8 min walk. The breakfast was not worth it - many hotels offer free breakfast of the same quality. Overall, a nice stay.

Bedford Plaza Hotel - Boston
This was an okay place for the money - comfortable bed. Breakfast was a joke. Had to move from the first room because tv didn’t work. Second room was better but when I went to take a shower in the morning there were no bath towels!
