The hype
Travelers love the breakfast staff and the suite layout, but maintenance is slipping with reports of worn-out bathrooms and smells.
Homewood Suites By Hilton Boston / Andover
$150-250 / रात
इसे बुक करें यदि You need a full kitchen and space to spread out near I-93, and you have a car to escape the office park.
लोग इसे क्यों पसंद करते हैं
- Sima at breakfast — she's a local legend who treats guests like family
- Suites with full kitchens (full-size fridge, stove, dishwasher)
- Free parking and reliable Wi-Fi for business travelers
त्वरित सारांश: A functional extended-stay base that nails the 'home' vibe in the lobby but plays Russian Roulette with room cleanliness.
@AshleyH द्वारा समीक्षित: I stayed here for a week and honestly, having a separate living room and that outdoor grill area made it feel like a real apartment. The free breakfast was a huge bonus, and the pool was perfect for relaxing. Definitely my go-to for longer trips near Boston.

Reality check
You might get a pristine renovated suite, or you might get one that smells like wet dog and cigarettes — consistency is the main issue here.
- You're on a long-term work contract and need to cook your own meals
- You're visiting Phillips Academy or Merrimack College and just need a bed
- You travel with a dog and need easy outdoor access
स्वच्छता और रखरखाव
6
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report missed scheduled cleanings and having to beg for towels.
- Bathroom hygiene: Hit or miss. Reports of cracked sinks, weak water pressure, and 'gnats' in some units.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Peeling wallpaper and worn carpets are common complaints in non-renovated rooms.
- Linens & towels: Generally clean but can be scratchy. Check sheets for stains immediately upon arrival.
- Odors & scents: High risk of stale smoke or 'wet dog' smell in certain rooms. Request a deep-clean if you detect it.

बुकिंग से पहले
अच्छी जानकारी
- Breakfast is free and actually good (waffles, eggs, oatmeal station)
- The pool is OUTDOOR and seasonal (June-Sept only) — don't promise the kids a swim in winter
- There is zero walkability to food; you must drive to eat
क्या पैक करें
- Earplugs or a white noise machine (for the highway drone)
- Your own favorite spices/oil if you plan to cook (kitchens have pans but no pantry staples)
- Slippers (carpets can feel a bit worn)

सामान्य प्रश्न और छिपी सलाह
बुकिंग करने से पहले जो कुछ आप जानना चाहते हैं
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a hot buffet breakfast is free daily. Look for Sima, the attendant — guests adore her.
Is there a pool?
Yes, but it's an outdoor seasonal pool. It's closed from roughly October to May.
Can I walk to restaurants?
No. You are in an office park. The nearest dining (Chili's, The Chateau) is a 5-minute drive away.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, but it costs ~$75 per stay (non-refundable). Max 2 pets.
Is there a gym?
Yes, a small fitness center with a Peloton-style bike, treadmill, and some dumbbells. Good for a quick sweat, not a heavy lift.
How is the Wi-Fi?
Reliable and free. Good enough for Zoom calls and streaming.
अंदरूनी सुझाव
- ✨
The 'convenience store' in the lobby is pricey — drive 5 mins to the Market Basket in Andover for real groceries.
- ✨
There is a basketball court on-site if you want to shoot hoops.
- ✨
Coffee is available 24/7 in the lobby, not just at breakfast.
जाने से पहले 5 बातें जानें
💡The 'woods' view actually overlooks a quiet office park parking lot, which is peaceful at night.
💡The in-room dishwashers are tiny — don't expect to wash a full dinner party's load.
💡The elevator can be slow; taking the stairs is often faster if you're on the 2nd floor.
💡Housekeeping is often 'on request' for shorter stays — you have to ask if you want fresh towels daily.
💡The bathroom ventilation fans are weak; steam lingers for a long time.
