Was at the Hyatt to meet a few people and was not impressed with the lobby! It did not look like what a Hyatt Hotel I have seen before but then I was told this was an old Sheraton Hotel and changed hands! Was in one of the rooms and was organized and designed for comfort! I thought it would be much nicer but I'm not sure what the rooms were being charged! It does have lots of parking and it was nice to see that HP PARKING was right in front! To see that was a plus! It had a great location for restaurants such as Legal Seafoods! And so many more, even though I don't think it should get 5 stars. The location is the best part of this hotel! read more

Came to stay here as I was going to an event in the braintree/quincy area. I have stayed at Hyatt place before in other states. This hotel was nothing special. Had a cery fun upbeat/outgoing front desk person but that is it oh and a nice gym and big backyard area. The breakfast that we got was tasteless and not many options to choose from. My room was spacious the window seemed a bit small for the size room it was. The bed oh man was the most uncomfortable hotel bed I think I have ever been on. I barely slept the night I was there. Also, the mattress cover was put on inside out and I think they forgot to put a sheet over that one. I slept on the outer most layer. Worst night sleep ever. Thankfully it was only for one night though. I tried to fall asleep on the couch too that was in my room and that too was uncomfortable and I sank into it. One other plus to this hotel besides it friendly front desk person and the gym and courtyard is that it is walking distance from a little outdoor shopping area that includes a starbucks, tavern in the square, ben and Jerry's and more stores. read more

We recently stayed at the Hyatt Braintree when we were in town for a concert at Foxborough. The hotel was in a great location and super convenient. The room was clean and prepared for our arrival. All the staff were friendly and helpful and overall we had a very positive experience for our family. read more

I stayed at this Hyatt for a long weekend with a large group of acquaintances for a wedding. We obtained a group discount, which I really appreciated, because the regular price for a room - in New England during leaf-peeping season - was more than I would want to pay. Cost aside, I appreciated a lot of the little things about this hotel that made the overall experience enjoyable. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but it has a large area to the right where you can seat for breakfast, and it's very good for a hotel breakfast (minus waffles, which is fine with me). Coffee and tea are available around the clock. If you want to stay local for lunch and dinner, there's a variety of restaurants within walking distance. At the front desk, they offer complimentary ice cream sandwiches, another nice perk. There's a small bar with a fun bartender. The liquor is limited, but they can make basic cocktails, and they have selections of beer and wine. Another nice touch in every room is the L-shaped corner sofa. The room was reasonably quiet, and the bed was comfortable, but light came into the room from under the door and above the shade. The parking lot is a nuisance. There are about a dozen spots immediately in front of the hotel (several are for handicap and some are reserved), and the rest are on the other side of the road you drive through the complex. The area in front of the hotel is large enough to accommodate several cars loading or unloading at the same time. read more

Double charged my credit card. Upon checkout, a lady told me to come over and said my credit card has been declined. I said that is a mistake. I believe you are charging me twice. Now I have proof they charged me twice on my credit card. Be careful. Room was below expectations. read more

The hotel itself is in a convenient location and was clean, but unfortunately our experience was unacceptable. Checkout time is clearly listed as 12:00pm. We left our room around 7:30am, intentionally leaving our belongings because we had every intention of returning before checkout. When we came back at 10:00am, a full two hours before checkout, we found our room completely turned over. All of our belongings, including clothing, skincare products, phone chargers, and other personal items, had been removed. We flagged down housekeeping, who casually responded, "Oh yeah, the housekeeper found a bunch of stuff in the room." I had to explain that, of course, they found our belongings because we hadn't checked out yet. They eventually located our items somewhere and returned them to us. Unfortunately, after we got home, we realized three of our Apple chargers were missing. Whether this was the result of poor management, a serious breakdown in housekeeping procedures, or something more concerning, it is completely unacceptable for staff to enter and clear out an occupied room before the published checkout time. Guests should never have to worry about their belongings being removed, or disappearing, while they are still checked in. We will not be staying here again. read more

The people who work there are exceptional but the room was disguising. There were holes in the ceiling in the bathroom, TV channels would change off others switched theirs since the "improvements. House cleaning was horrible especially when all I asked for was towels, trash taken out and used cups taken away. I'm handicapped and was forced to go down and get ice because no ice machines worked on any floor. The grout hasn't been cleaned properly in a long time. The barrier between the bed and the living room rattled. I want to complement Vee, Reyna and the twinsfor exceptional secretive. Everyone parks in front of the ramps and no one does anything about it. I stayed here because my daughter and bridal party stayed there the night before her wedding and I wanted that memory after burying her. I've never been so disappointed. I should also mention Jamie was extremely helpful. From now on the Hilton along with the rest of my family. read more

Braintree is a great location to stay in when visiting Boston if you want space from the hustle bustle of Boston. It is conveniently located 20 minutes outside of downtown, Foxborough and the airport. I love all the free parking the hotel has to offer. It's located right next to a mall and Target. Right outside the lobby, there are a bunch of food spots like Dave's Hot Chicken, Qdoba and Ben & Jerry's - to name a few. (+) The rooms are very spacious, we expect nothing less from a Hyatt. We also were given a handicap room for some of our party, the room is basically the size of an apartment. (+) The gym has one working Peloton with downloaded classes which was great. (-) Dropping two stars because the customer service misses here. During breakfast, one of the workers was yelling at a couple of tween boys to move. (-) Front desk, the guy's name starts with a T...we stood in front of him for a few minutes and he ignored us. When he looked up from the laptop, we asked if he saw us or not and he's like yes I did. (-) The detail to cleanliness also misses the mark. Our shower had hair on the wall which was never cleaned. The floors throughout the weekend were sticky and the hallways reeked of rotting trash. read more

very unhappy. At breakfast there were no napkins, paper towels, no service napkins. I asked the front desk and they finally gave me a box of tissues that I passed out to our entire bus group. I asked the desk for a room refresh. They assured me it would be done. we came home after a long hot day of touring and the room was not refreshed. I called the desk and she said they would send housekeeping. After a half hour I called again and she told me the housekeeping was on break. I demanded fresh towels. After 15 minutes she brought me towels, no bath matt, , no wash clothes. she said I should have talked to the supivisor. how could I have talked to her, I didn't know they weren't going to refresh my room. read more

I absoutely love this place! I have been coming here for ten years to take care of my mother and everyone has been kind to me in all ways possible. A big thank you to Adam, LaToya, Nicole, Cece and the wonderful kitchen staff who could not had been nicer to me. The best place to stay in Braintree! read more

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and comfortable. They serve free breakfast in the mornings with various selections like bagel, toast, cereal, oatmeal etc. I would definitely recommend staying here. read more

Wow! I was surprised by some of the low posts here. I don't know if there's been a management change or what. We were so pleased with our stay. The staff is so friendly and professional. I need to give a shout out to Vienna! We got back to the hotel at 10:55 pm and I was starving. She walked over to Legal Seafood with me and begged them to let me order something. I got a wonderful spicy tuna roll. That you so much. Who does that?! Our Bartender Saturday night was awesome too. Really everyone was so friendly. Not what I expected coming to Boston. lol I would most definitely stay here again! read more

While gathering breakfast I alone was downstairs at the buffet while my overworked husband caught up on sleep upstairs. I had to improvise to make fewer trips downstairs so I stacked our breakfast on the same plate. While passing the front desk I overheard the workers Latoya and Shahi saying that "She could barely make it upstairs" followed by giggles. I turned to confirm what I heard but was only stared at before they denied the claim. I know what I heard. On my second trip for drinks I asked the workers their name, that is when Latoya said "We were talking about the waffle maker". Latoya what waffle maker? I didn't see waffles, and why would the waffle maker be headed upstairs? Latoya proceeds to loudly deny the claim, making excuses, creating a hostile atmosphere for the other guess when I had only asked for names. Instead of talking badly about the guess why not just offer assistance? The rooms that are available are "Ok" but those two employees has made my experience not so "Ok" I can't even enjoy my bland breakfast. I will be notifying higher ups. read more

This hotel is very conveniently located for things we need to do but it is quite dated and the cleaning staff do not do a great job. I have to agree with the other reviews. I think this is a popular hotel for youth sports teams cause the breakfast is super packed with kids and sports equipment. They often shut down breakfast 15 mins before 9:30am so make sure to get there early. It's not great but we do stay here every once in a while. read more

We arrived at the hotel at 4pm on a Friday. We were part of a large group staying for a wedding in Boston that weekend. Upon getting to the front desk, we were told we would be unable to checkin due to electrical issues. The fire department was investigating the issue and would provide an update "soon". We immediately informed them we were party of the wedding group staying at the hotel and I visually saw them note that on their printed list of reservations for the day. The building was determined to be unfit for occupancy due to ongoing electrical issues preventing the fire and safety equipment from operating. To be abundantly clear, we have no issue with this. We would rather not stay in a hotel that is unsafe, and obviously they wouldn't intentionally cut power to their own building. Accidents happen. We waited in line at the front desk to be rebooked and again informed them that we were part of the wedding party staying at the hotel, though we were not able to book the hotel with the group code. A friend of ours who had a separate reservation was with us during this interaction and also had been unable to book with the group. We were assured that they had set aside 40 rooms at a hotel in Norwood for the wedding guests. They took our names, did some stuff on the computer, and told us we were all set. We can head to the front desk at the hotel in Norwood to checkin for the night. We again reiterated we were part of a wedding party staying at the hotel for a wedding the next day. We would need a room for two nights as check-in, check-out, and moving between hotels was not something possible in the middle of a wedding ceremony. They refused this request and said we would only be moved one night at a time, regardless of how long the hotel is shut down. We get to the hotel in Norwood to be told we aren't on the list and they do not have a room for us. In fact, they were only told to reserve 30 rooms, not the 40 needed. Fortunately our friend was able to check into their room, so this was not an issue of booking with the group code. I called the Hyatt 10 times and the phone was not answered and their voicemail box was full. It was now midnight, so we had no choice but to drive the hour home and try again in the morning. Our five calls the next morning were not answered either. We never even received a call back or an email. This was a similar story we heard from other guest as well. Just don't stay here, there are two Marriott properties within walking distance that are better suited for your business. read more

I stayed overnight at this hotel, and upon entering my room, I was quite impressed. It was clean, modern, open, and quite large. I had a king size bed and a nice size sitting area with a sofa. Upon entering the room was ice cold. I don't mind air-conditioning but this was absolutely freezing. So I fiddled with the thermostat to get it down a bit, but it took quite a long time and I had to go out. Upon returning the room 2 hours later it was muggy and hot and I had only lowered the temperature three or 4°. So I upped it a little bit and about an hour later I was freezing again needless to say that keeping the thermostat at a comfortable temperature was a challenge that I never accomplished. The bed was a little bit hard for me but I guess doable for overnight, Not much to watch on television unless you want to pay for a movie. Just local channels that were quite boring. And I save the best for last... The toilet bowl is so low to the ground that it feels like you're squatting. I thought it was really uncomfortable. And even more so when you have to get up in the middle of the night. Not a fan of lowered toilet bowls. Would I stay here again? NO. I did not sleep well because of the hardness of the bed, freezing and sweating all night from having to adjust the thermostat, and having to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and squat. Not ideal. read more

Do YOU know the definition of the word "vacuum"? The Hyatt housekeeping department does not. They have one on every housekeeping cart, but you'll never hear one fired up. Don't believe me? LISTEN. Also, you have to request FROM THE HOUSEKEEPING STAFF if you want your room turned (minimally, not according to national hotel standards); if you ask the front desk, nothing will happen. Don't believe me? Try it: put a tip on the bed, leave for the day, and come back to your $20 bill still on the unmade bed. read more

Been here many times in the past never any problem. First Post Covid Christmas vacation, this time around absolutely disgusting. First room we checked into, a pile of used towels and bath robe in the closet. Front desk service was good. Changed a new room for us, of the same floor (very thoughtful saving us the trouble of moving around with luggage's). Second room after we settled in, the following I found, didn't even have to look hard: 1)finally realize the thermostats is not working (and maintenance crew went home early due to Christmas Day. Unable to fix it so we were given extra blankets in case the room gets cold. They can only come the following day. 2)after taking a shower, one of the 3 towels on the rack (still have pubic hair on it) 3) 4 pillows, all the pillow cases still dirty (with hairs still on them) did they even change the pillow cases? It is really making us thinking twice before coming back ever again. If this is the corporate way of cutting cost to recuperate their financial loss from the pandemic it is very sad to say they lose my business forever. read more

We visited Boston for a wedding and we were advised to stay at the Hyatt Place Braintree, MA as a recommended place to stay. I was very impressed with the fact that it was not too far from Logan Airport in Boston and about 20 minutes from downtown Boston by Uber. The hotel is nice and clean. It offers a complementary breakfast which is pretty good. It has a workout room and the sufficient with our needs. The room itself is clean, spacious and accomodating. Staff is nice and they have maid service. The hotel is next door to a shopping mall which is within walking distance. It also offers a little mall that has several places to eat like TGI Fridays, a burrito restaurant, Starbucks, and a sandwich shop. Right next door is Legal Seafood Restaurant which is a very good seafood style restaurant. I would definitely recommend this hotel. read more

My stay at this hotel was pleasant. The rooms are spacious, quiet and comfortable. The checking in and checking out process was smooth. My room was clean. While it was cold when I entered, I adjusted the thermostat to make it much warmer, to my comfort level. My only disappointment was the advertised Resturaunt and Bar, The Placery, was inexplicably closed during the duration of my stay. If it was closed, it should have been reflected on both the signage in the hotel and on the website. Thankfully, there were places to eat and drink near by. The staff was helpful and the other patrons were pleasant. It is a good hotel for rest and relaxation. However, for another visit to Boston, I will stay at another similar hotel with a fully operational Resturaunt and Bar. read more

One of the worst experiences I've had in a hotel. 1. Upon check-in, there was only 1 person working. He seemed to be checking everyone in, answering phones and trying to help people at the 'bar'. 2. Toilet was clogged as soon as we got to the room. Tried to call the front desk but were unable to get through because there was only 1 guy working. Told him on our way out and he said it would be taken care of 3. We went to get dinner because there is no real restaurant on site (even though they advertise it). Then went out for an event. 5 hours later, the toilet was still clogged and the room did not smell great. 4. Finally got someone to the room. He gave us towels and walked away. He was nice but didn't speak English. Finally got him to come back and unclog the toilet. 5. The TV didn't work. Called the 1 guy at the front desk who said they were having technical difficulties. 6. Couldn't get the AC unit to decrease. Room was freezing. 7. 8 am false fire alarm that went off twice throughout the morning We come to Braintree regularly for an Irish sporting event. We usually stay at the Marriott and decided to try something different this time.. What a huge mistake. read more

Stay here monthly while on business. My flight from Denver was delayed and I arrived in over an hour late. Got to the hotel and thought I would have a glass of wine at the bar. I was presented with a bill for $18 for a glass of Malbec from a bottle which cost $15. Price gouging at its worst. It would have been much less had I walked 30 seconds over to legal seafood. Next time I will bring my own. wine. Lest people think that it's the government hiking prices - no, it's greedy corporations like Hyatt that price gouge. Taking advantage of travelers, of faithful customers . Was unbelievable that with tip, I paid $20 for a glass of mediocre wine. read more

I was a guest here for a weekend course at Landmark. The service at this hotel was absolutely delightful! How about that hot breakfast?! It's definitely one, if not the best breakfast I've ever seen at a hotel/motel. I loved that there was fresh fruit, several dairy choices, hot breakfast items, and an Oatmeal bar. I really enjoyed the selection of dried fruits available. Breakfast was served and set up promptly. The attendants were very clean, and kind, and then there was the coffee and tea selection. Regular, decaf, and a thing of hot water for tea drinkers. I recall seeing juice dispensers as well. Don't fret if you're a quick bagel and run type, there were some of those too! Great place. read more

For the price I paid, this hotel was such a steal! The suite was big and included a fridge and a giant L shaped pull out sofa. Hotel was clean, service was friendly & welcoming (especially the maids they were the sweetest!), and location was perfect. It's literally across the street from a mall and Target which makes it very convenient!! They also offered free continental breakfast and every day they had different items. I came in the winter & stayed for 4 days when there was a snowstorm going on, but it wasn't much of a problem because they had the trucks clearing up the parking lot around the clock. Plenty of parking and it's in a safe area about 15-20min drive from the airport (learned the hard way they don't offer shuttle service to airport from the hotel). The bed was really comfy here, but walls a bit thin. The fridge actually worked perfect and kept our leftovers really cold/frozen LOL. If you need to microwave anything they have a microwave downstairs to use along w/ plates & utensils. I definitely will be staying here again my next visit to Boston. Something about it made me feel like I was at home. read more

Did you know that "Hotel" is etymologically similar to "Hospital"? This is a good thing, because the front desk clerk was nice to give me a bandaid after a small shaving accident. That's great service! Sharon and I stayed at the Hyatt Place during my first trip to Boston, and this has been my favorite hotel (including her two Miami visits) thus far. The room itself is about the size of a studio apartment and we had a view of the highway and famous Boston traffic. I'll just hold off a star because we didn't have a chance to try the pool. Room service was professional and well done, even coming in later when we overslept. Our bathroom was real clean, stocked with plenty of towels and perfect water temperature and pressure. The AC was freezing cold as well for me (Bae had plenty of blankets :) There are a couple of chain restaurants in the strip mall next to the hotel, though we stuck mostly to the Friday's for nightcaps and late night bites. I only had breakfast before my flight back and found the kitchen staff to be pleasant and the silverware (not paper plates!) clean. My coffee was strong, and the egg/cheese/bacon sandwich warm and not greasy. My waffle was also done right, with a little bit of syrup. read more

I was taken a summer cruise, leaving from Boston. After an exhausting search for a hotel conveniently located between train station and the cruise port, I found the Hyatt Place Boston/Braintree. Upon arriving at the hotel, with two young children and my mother I was greeted with nothing but smiles and accommodations. The check-in was quick and easy. I was informed about all the specials that was offered as well as given some great advice as to where to go to enjoy my stay in Boston. The next day we woke up and enjoyed the breakfast buffet that is available on the main floor for a minimal price but high quality. After breakfast we decided to take the advice the front concierge, both me and the children were off to the Museum of Science. We exited the building and got into one of the shuttles that were provided to the train station. On my way back I realized my phone was dying a few stops away from our final destination I called the hotel telling them my dilemma and to my surprise the shuttle was waiting for both me and my kids when we got off the train. I had a great time in Massachusetts and the Hyatt Place Boston/ Braintree was to thank. read more

I visit Boston once every 2-3 months. I have my go-to hotel but I decided to give this one a try based on location... totally not worth it. It was full of insects since day one. If you towel falls to the floor at night, you'll wake up to a little nest of bugs. It was ridiculous!!! They have a decent buffet in the morning and I got the impression that the staff does the best they can with what they have but I wouldn't stay here again. Poor experience and rooms don't look anything like the pics. read more

The photos and info on this hotel are not accurate. Pool has been closed for repairs for over 2 years. No property info in the rooms. No gift shop. A bottle of water is $3. Looks clean, but there are no guest services except a bed etc. The toilets are the lowest I have ever seen, be careful. If you have physical problems with getting up - stay somewhere else. The place reminds me of a storage unit. The bed was fine, nothing else to complain about because there is nothing here except rooms. Stayed in July 2021 read more

I wish YELP had a negative star review option because I would be using it! Hilary at the front desk needs to find a new job that does not involve working with people. Customer Service is about problem solving, and Hilary was only interested in going out of her way to be rude and condescending. I tried to be nice and problem solve and she was only interested in cancelling my employees reservation and putting her out in the dark in an unfamiliar area to find a new hotel. Hilary (who is the front end manager by the way) has not been pleasant the last few times my employee has stayed there, but this was a new level of incompetence. Hilary is a definite liability to Hyatt. We are only one customer, but we will NEVER return to this hotel (unless Hilary moves on) and apologies and reparations made. read more

I was hesitant seeing some of the negative reviews here. But my stay at Hyatt Braintree was good. The king suite was spacious and clean. Bathroom could use some updating but shower and toilet worked fine. Online check in/out and digital key were great and had no issues. Breakfast had a good selection as well. Conveniently located with plenty of free parking. I would recommend this hotel for a no fuss stay. read more

It's my first time doing business with Hyatt and the experience was horrible. I think it'll be my last time. I sensed there is something wrong with the corporate culture. They don't care about their customers. I booked two days in June and soon found that I couldn't make the trip. So I called (before the check-in date) to see if I could move the reservation to a later date. I was told by frontdesk that I could move the dates and don't have to worry about it. But when I called today (a month before my new check-in date) to confirm. I was told by a manager that my original reservation was not modifiable and it was too late to change it. Ridiculously, the frontdesk manager didn't trust me and asked me who I spoke to previously. I didn't end up staying in the hotel so couldn't comment on the service. Good luck if you decide to stay in Hyatt. read more

This its an ongoing review .... I still waiting from my deposit money back in my account, 7 days already is over. I called today and the receptionist very sweet, very nice, responded that I should ask my bank to call them, but the bank is not going to do it, bank doesn't do that because is not the bank responsibility to do so, it is Hyatt "Braintree" responsibility. The week before I was in this Hyatt, I was at Hyatt Place Medford, I had my money back the day after, I was at Hyatt in Hollywood, Fl I get my deposit the day after .....Please put my money back so I will write about the good things at that hotel. Thanks read more

Worse than 'Not Good.' My wife and I attempted a stay at the Hyatt Place Braintree while on vacation in late September of 2023. I say attempted, because we ended up leaving and booking a non-Hyatt hotel. Parking and check-in were no problem. We checked in late evening, grabbed a sandwich at a nearby restaurant and were just relaxing for a couple of hours. As I went to get ready for bed I discovered (fortunately without using it) that the toilet did not flush. I went to call the front desk and the phone in the room did not work. I went down to the front desk and the young man working was no help. He stated that there was no one else working that could help and that there were no other rooms available. He offered to bring up a plunger (for us to use, because he wasn't plunging the toilet), but after I returned to my room he never showed. He also claimed I threatened him (my words were something to the effect of 'we have a problem'), and threatened to call the police. My wife went down to try her luck and he had the plunger. While she was downstairs I tried Hyatt Corporate to see if they had a room available at a nearby hotel. They offered a room at the downtown Hyatt Regency but only if we paid close to $600 a night (the rooms we had booked were in the $200-$250 range). This was not an option so we packed up and booked a room at the adjacent Marriott (this ended up costing us more than $200 over the original booking). After trying to get in touch with the general manager for about a week we finally connected and he said what the front desk person told us was true about only having a single staff person working (the other person that was supposed to be working no-showed) and that they had no empty rooms. He said because his front desk person felt threatened there was nothing he could do for me other than offer a few loyalty points. Obviously based on this experience I will try to avoid using Hyatt Hotels in the future, so I told him not to worry. PS - The pool was closed with no notice when we booked. read more

I tried mightily to overlook the subpar accommodations but every corner I turned it was front & center. Hyatt has a strong rep in our family so I hope they take a closer look at this location before it hurts their brand. The hotel is dated. The rooms are dark and dank. The toiletries consisted of soap, shampoo and conditioner...couldn't even swing a little lotion. The comforter was stained as was the carpeting. The staff was hit or miss...housekeeping must learn that we can actually hear your conversations at 7 am. Inside voices should be standard training protocol. And to finish it off the elevators weren't in working order last night or this morning. I don't have a problem with carrying luggage down from the 5th floor but I can imagine others found it difficult. The front desk staff was kind as was the bellman. That's where the 3 stars deserve to be awarded. read more

Yesterday we arrived at 3:30 pm to check into our room. We got our key cards, went upstairs, and settled in - nothing was amiss. Then at about 4:30 pm we went to a wedding down the road and stayed until about midnight. When we returned to the hotel, our key cards didn't work. We went down to the front desk and they told us that we were no longer in that room and, in fact, they had no room for us at all. Our room was already occupied by other guests! Our only notification of this problem was returning to the hotel and not being able to get back in our room. All of our belongings were behind the front desk, some in plastic bags. To top it off, they did *not* properly group or label our belongings - I had to ask them twice for missing items and once we arrived back home, we realized there were still items missing. They offered us NO solution to this problem. They just sent us on our way. Luckily for us, 1) we only live about an hour away and 2) I had stopped drinking early in the evening and was able to drive us. However, it was midnight (pitch black), it was raining, and I was exhausted from staying up until midnight, so driving home was difficult and stressful. Would not recommend staying here. They gave our room away and did nothing to notify us or even attempt to resolve this issue. If you're ok with being put out at midnight in the rain, though, this is the place for you! read more

I booked 7 nights at this hotel as part of Priceline air/car/hotel package for our trip last week. This used to be the Sheraton but has been taken over and remodeled to the Hyatt Place. Every year when I return home to Boston, my friend and I always stayed here as its most central to our friends and the mall and a Target is right across the street. There's a mini plaza built right next to the Hyatt in a lower level that includes Starbucks and Five Guys Burgers. Anyhow, the room has been remodel to a very nice design including a L shape couch which is a pull out bed. We stayed in room with a king size bed which included a shower stall instead of a tub. Its slightly inconvenient for us as we have a baby. We were aware of this in advance so we came prepared with our baby's tub. The tub is only available in rooms w/ double beds. There's a flat screen TV and a hidden refrigerator. The bed and pillows are not as comfortable as the Sheraton as it's medium firm. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. They greet you daily and each time you walk into the hotel. I checked in the hotel early and was assisted by Donna. Unfortunately, there were no rooms available at 8am so she took my name and assured me that she would call me asap when a room becomes available. About 3 hrs later she called me. I arrived to the front desk with my room key ready and information for breakfast and free wi-fi written on the key envelope. There's also complimentary breakfast and an computers with a printer for use in the lobby. A mini bar area is also available serving beer and cocktails, however, the options are limited. They also have a snack case which included desserts. Both the mini bar and snack case are attached to the front desk area. The breakfast served each morning is the same with bagels, toasts, oatmeal, mini donuts, fruits, bacon egg n' cheese Mcmuffin, egg white on wheat Mcmuffin, and pancakes. There were coffee and juice available. Breakfast is pretty busy and was quite tasteful. I'm not giving the hotel 5 stars for the following reasons: -bed/pillow could be softer. Too firm. -key card reader may need replacing as it locked me out twice and I had to go back down to the front desk to get a new card while carrying my baby and chuggling a baby bag from the 5th floor. -room service menu lacks simple appetizers such as fries, wings, mozarella cheese sticks, etc. read more

My husband and I spent three nights (Thurs., Fri., and Sat.) the last weekend of September. It is similar to many other hotels, but if I were to sum it up in one word, it would be "convenience." We didn't want to stay in an expensive downtown Boston hotel room so we booked Braintree. It was reasonably priced for the area and wasn't too far from the city center. We were thrilled to discover that they had a free shuttle service that would take us to the Quincy Adams train station and all we had to do on our return was to call them and they would pick us up. (During the week, the shuttle starts at around 8 or 9 am and stops around 10:30 or 11:00. Weekends the shuttle runs 11:00 a.m. to 6:45 p.m.) You can get an inexpensive or daily or a weekly train pass. Get the weekly if you are planning to stay two days or more. What is really cool is that there are a variety of food option within a few feet for the hotel's front door. They include, but aren't limited to a seafood restaurant, a Friday's, Starbucks,and Ben and Jerry's. Other places are a very short drive away and there is a major mall across the street. The hotel also has a small Starbucks/bar combo that offers some food items as well. I don't know how it compares to similar hotels in the area, but we liked it. read more

Love this hotel! I stayed at a Hyatt Place in New Jersey immediately before staying here and while my room here was smaller the free wireless internet was much faster. Loved it! Also loved the early shift front desk gals - they were so nice. The guys running the free hotel shuttle were great too. I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Boston. There is a very nice mall across the street with a Target, movie theater, food court, etc. and the "T" (train) stop is not far and the hotel shuttle will take you there for free. Stayed: September 26-29 read more

While checking in I asked where the complimentary coffee was located and told I could have 'all the free coffee I wanted in my room'. Wow, Hyatt, your generosity knows no bounds. Went to use the fitness center and there was no tv. Nor were there complimentary ear buds to use with the bikes and ellipticals. Maybe the extra money they saved by not having a tube and buds could go to buying guests some java. Friggin cheap skates, no wonder I stay at Hilton properties whenever possible. read more

Bedbugs. Please save yourself from my anguish and do not come here. The beds have bedbugs.
