Homewood Suites by Hilton Boston Brookline-Longwood Medical

We arrived at 3 pm and stayed in room 410. The check in staff were well versed and had us checked in quickly. The Good: The room was surprisingly large, well lit and clean. Nice touch was the air purifier. Bed was comfortable. And hot water was hot. The annoying. Two things. The door into the shower/toilet area was to big to get in without stepping to the side. That sounds not so bad, but I did end up getting my small toe crushed in the door and needed to bandage it. There is a kind of night light in the ceiling between the bathroom and bed that you can not turn off. I was tempted to stand on a chair and screw the bulb out, but thought better of it in the end. If you like dark bring eye shades. Breakfast. I have to say it was disappointing. The scrambled eggs were as bland as could be and certainly came out of a box. There were some chicken sausages and something else that I saw almost no one ate. I steered away. Oatmeal was OK. There was some fruit and boiled eggs. They had Margarine for the bread (I confess I prefer real butter). The staff was lets say, not a happy group. I would have preferred the waffle maker at La Quinta to this. For a 300+ a night room you would have expected a bit better. I would stay here again all said. As the room is great. And the location is convient. But I would stop at Traders Joe's and make breakfast myself next time. Regards.

Terrific breakfast and the suite gave us so much more space than a regular hotel room plus a full kitchen!

Location and room size (pull out couch, kitchen) were great for us - close to easy to use train line - is a short walk. Is possible to take train from airport, does require one transfer, not super quick, but Uber not quick (and $pendy) either during peak times. Breakfast 'serviceable' - should be able to find some calories to get the day started, coffee/tea, juices, etc.

Pool was smaller than described but worked for the kids.
