Middlesex County Hotels with Gym

The room was of comfortable size and I particularly appreciated that the room was made up daily. Friendly staff and good service in general.  The Grab and Go Bistro offered a good selection of breakfast choices, while the quality of dishes served at the Bisuteki (Japanese restaurant) by the lobby has much room for improvement, given the high prices! I also liked that the hotel is sandwiched between Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods Market, with a Blue Bikes dock just a couple mins walk from the lobby, very convenient.

It's quite convenient in Burlington, with shopping malls and various restaurants just outside. The room layout is very homely, very suitable for family travel and permanent residence!

The hotel itself has a good ambiance, but the service is absolutely terrible. For all Marriott hotels in the US, beware when booking: they don't just pre-authorize or freeze a deposit, they actually charge your card directly! They overcharged me $124. When I emailed them to inquire, they replied to the first email, stating it was for two days of parking + valet. However, when I replied again, telling them they made a mistake as I only parked for one day and provided evidence, they ghosted me completely – no more emails or phone calls! Ultimately, Trip.com reimbursed me $62, and I'm very grateful to them for being so responsible. But I still have to give Marriott a bad review. For such a large corporation, is a few hundred dollars really worth it? Such a low-class move!

The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the subway, which is quite convenient, and the area is very quiet. On the second floor, there's an ice machine, a water dispenser, and a microwave, all very handy. There are also coin-operated washing machines and dryers. The only downside was that the bathroom kept flooding, and it took two requests for them to fix it, which was a bit frustrating.

The location is average and the health status is okay. We were doing business there, so we chose. If you are traveling, it will be more troublesome, because a taxi to the city costs 30 US dollars, and it also costs 30 US dollars to go to Harvard University. There are no slippers and toiletries in the room, which is not found in American hotels, which is very strange. Breakfast is mainly cold meals. Just treat it as an express hotel. Don't compare it with Hilton in China, you will be disappointed.

The hotel I booked for the driver is not too far from the city center. It takes more than an hour to drive there due to traffic jams on weekday mornings. It is OK on weekends when there is no traffic jam and it only takes more than 20 minutes to drive to the city center.

I stayed here in 2018, and this time I stayed here again. It was still a great experience; the rooms were spacious and the hotel was clean. The only downside is that there are no shops nearby, except for a small convenience store on the first floor.

Lastly, if you are booking somewhere with a free breakfast because you are looking forward to it, this is not your place. They offered watered down sunny D, water, one type of muffin, bread, cereal, potatoes, gritty watery scrambled eggs, and some kind of “French toast casserole”. Not a yogurt or a meat choice in sight, with a big sign asking you not to bring breakfast to your room. That may be common- but in my opinion I should be allowed to bring back my children or mother a meal if they don’t want to come to the dining room, and if we are responsible enough to order takeout to our room then we must be responsible enough to have a light breakfast as well. For the price point, unappetizing breakfast, and the insect activity; I will next time choose a more franchised option. Sunrise from the room on the lake was a beauty though!

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, making check-in and check-out easy. The breakfast selection is plentiful, parking is convenient and safe, the bathroom has great water pressure, and the rooms are clean, tidy, and very comfortable. Highly recommended!

It was great experience! The service is very special, people are kind and respectful. God Bless all of them! Amén
