We are Platinum Marriott Rewards members and stayed one night on a free certificate to play in a lacrosse tournament nearby. Positives: The location was great for the tournament, a few minutes from the Fore Kicks facility, there are a number of family restaurants a few minutes away, including Five Guys Burgers (a favorite of my son), the hotel managed to get us a room with 2 Queen beds although there were non available on the internet, the work out room was small but looked nice enough and wasn't crowded. We were really just looking for a convenient place to sleep to avoid a
1 3/4 hour drive in the morning. Negatives: Around 1:00 AM a group of people, probably from the wedding being held, continued to talk and laugh LOUDLY in the hall for at least 25 minutes before we called the front desk. We've stayed in many hotels over the years at all price points and I've never run into such rude behavior. Since I assumed they were coming from the wedding and it was a special occasion, I kept telling my husband to hold off on calling since they would probably quiet down. We were on the first floor, around the corner from the front desk and I hoped that they might do something on their own since I knew they could hear them, but that didn't happen. That was the main problem but the walls were also pretty thin, we had a hard time controlling the temperature in the room, either really hot or cold, I found a Gatorade bottle on the floor from a previous guest, the beds were not that comfortable, and the indoor pool was small and had such a strong chlorine smell my son passed on taking a swim. There was no free breakfast for being Platinum but that wasn't a problem because all we wanted was juice which we bought in the snack area and coffee in the lobby was free. I realize we were staying on a free certificate, but I had considered paying the $140 internet rate and I would have been really unhappy. There was a hockey group that stayed there the same night and I'm sure sports groups can get a lower rate. I would have probably given the hotel a "3" if there wasn't a noise problem. We'd prefer not to return but might give it another chance since it's so close to the sports facility and we can use Marriott points. We might also try the Marriotts in Westborough but it adds to the AM drive time and we are not morning people.
