Frommer's Highly Recommended

This four-story establishment offers a sophisticated blend of chain-motel convenience and boutique-hotel features. Set back from the busy street in a commercial neighborhood, it offers accommodations at least one floor up from the parking lot. Guest rooms are spacious and well maintained, decorated in deep jewel tones with comfy yet sleek contemporary furnishings. Room rates include wireless Internet access and local phone calls; add the pool and continental breakfast, and the view of a traffic circle is easier to take. A 2 1/2-mile jogging trail circles Fresh Pond, across the street, and a shopping center with a Whole Foods Market is nearby. Boston lies about a 15-minute drive or a 30-minute T ride away; Lexington and Concord are less than a half-hour away by car.
