Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton

Where do I even begin? This place is an absolute disaster, and I say that as someone who has stayed in budget motels across the country. I booked this room for a special occasion — a date night — and the moment I opened the door, I knew it was a catastrophic mistake. The smell hit me first. Imagine the most aggressive, eye-watering cheap cleaning solvent you've ever encountered — not the clean kind, but the kind that smells like it's desperately trying to mask something far worse. It didn't succeed. The room reeked, and no amount of time with the door open made a difference. Then came the visual horror. The carpet looked like it had survived multiple decades and at least one small flood — torn, threadbare, and so old I couldn't even tell what color it was supposed to be. The bathroom was worse. Hair on the toilet, the sink, and the walls. Not just a stray strand — a full commitment to filth. The room itself? A glorified closet. There was barely enough space to stand, let alone feel comfortable. My date was waiting downstairs, and I made the executive decision: there is absolutely no way I am bringing another human being into this room. I grabbed my bag and left without spending a single night.

The smell alone should be hurting — cheap solvent masking something far worse. The bathroom had hair on the toilet, sink, and walls. The carpet was torn and ancient. The room was barely big enough to breathe in.

Good Hospitality, location is good

We had a great stay at this hotel. The hotel is literally right off the highway, easy on and off. The best part of the hotel is that it is out of all the madness of Downtown Boston. It is not as packed and hectic. The hotel felt like it was recently refurbished. Everything felt clean and new. Our room was super spacious and comfortable. Although it was literally near the highway, you did not hear any extra noise or anything. The parking situation was on sight and easy to use, not too expensive. The staff was really nice and helpful.

Very noisy

Easy access to I-90, and there are Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks close enough to walk.

The traffic pattern around the hotel is a little challenging

Great staff, nice breakfast, convenient location

Can always be cleaner in my opinion.
