The Best Western location on Route 9 in Framingham gives you good access to MetroWest or Downtown Boston via the Turnpike. The location is amid a sea of strip malls and across from Shopers World and the Natick Collection. For dining there's actually a Legal Seafood and the venerable Ken's Steakhouse within walking distance.
The desk is friendly and the rooms are clean but the halls and elevators have an odor. Not much ambience but well maintained rooms in a convenient location

Picked this place based on reviews to do some college visits. It's not The Four Seasons, but for the price this place can't be beat. Clean, roomy rooms, clean bathroom, and a 1970's tv. Breakfast was ok. Friendly staff.

OCTOBER 7TH, 8TH, AND 9TH WEEKEND COST LESS HERE THEN ONE NIGHT IN BOSTON. My wife and I drove up from Jersey to do the Boston scene. Our room was clean and inviting, oversized actually for just us. Supposedly there are pets allowed...I didn't see or hear one. The pool is big and clean, cool if you have kids. Free Continental Breakfast is above average: bagels, cream cheese jelly, pre made egg and muffin sandwiches, just heat up, cereals, sausage and gravy for your warmed biscuits, fruit, coffees and juices, etc.There is a Melting Pot, British Beer Company, and Walmart in walking distance. Across the street is Shoppers World DON'T TELL THE WIFE>
We chose to drive into boston but there is a T line available(Bostons bus and rail system). 15 minute drive to Boston from here. Our AAA realtor strongly reccommended Best Western in Framingham as she is an avid Bruins fan. Boston is extremely congested, you will pay three small tolls to get there (all highway), and $35. to park. JUST SUCK IT UP I know but it is worth it, there are no options. If you find a meter you will be too drunk to remember to fill it up every three hrs. Quincy market and Aquarium and North market is where to go. Everything within blocks of each other. 200 restaurants is an understatement and bars are endless. Be selective as you have so many choices. Somehow after 8 hours in Boston we got back to our well lit Best Western and was greeted by the front desk associate. Totally excellent value!!!!

The reviews on Trip Advisor about this hotel are pretty much spot on about the state of the hallways etc. of this hotel.."The Shinning" comes to mind. However, the rooms are just fine..well appointed & up to standard for a national chain. If you like being in the center of commercial sprawl, this place is for you. There is every conceivable "casual dinning" restaurant, Starbucks and shopping up and down the road. The pleasant surprise was a non-chain restaurant, right next door..Unfortunately I have forgotten the name..but it is an English Pub w/ nice character and good food and saves you from the sameness of chains.

I was here to visit "Garden in the Woods' If you are a native plant enthusist..this is for you!
