Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton
An understated Newton stay next to a real neighborhood bar
About this hotel
This Four Points trades polish for practicality: an indoor pool and fitness center cover the basics after a round near Brae Burn's Newton neighborhood, and Social Restaurant & Bar sits close enough to walk to rather than taxi. At sixteen minutes from Logan by taxi, it runs closer to the airport than most of the Newton and Waltham cluster, useful for a group with a tight morning flight after the last round. The rooms are straightforward rather than styled, which suits a golf trip fine since nobody is spending much time in them between an early tee time and a late dinner. It reads as the practical, lower-cost choice for a group that wants Newton's location without paying Marriott or DoubleTree rates for the same neighborhood.
- Indoor pool
- Fitness center
- On-site restaurant and bar
- Walkable neighborhood dining
Our take
A group that wants an understated, practical base in Newton, with a restaurant and bar on site, an indoor pool, a fitness center and dinner two minutes' walk away at Social Restaurant & Bar, will find this Four Points does the job. It is the lower-key option for a golf trip around Brae Burn Country Club. Guests who want a high rating, suites or a showy stay should look elsewhere.
- Walk to Social Restaurant & Bar instead of driving; at two minutes it beats waiting for a car after a long round.
- Book this over pricier Newton options if the trip is mostly early tee times and late flights, given the shorter airport run.
- Use the fitness center before breakfast in peak summer heat, when afternoon humidity makes a workout less appealing.
Why we love it
- Two-minute walk to a real neighborhood bar
- Sixteen-minute run to Logan Airport
- Indoor pool for rest days
- Straightforward, budget-friendly Newton rate
Why guests love itI would book the Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton for a low-key golf trip around Brae Burn Country Club. The property has a restaurant and bar, a fitness center and an indoor pool, and Social Restaurant & Bar is two minutes' walk away for a change of scene. It carries no star rating and is understated rather than showy. Guests rate it 7.0 across 706 reviews, a modest score for a group that is not chasing a top-tier stay.
