Hampton Inn & Suites Watertown Boston
Watertown value with a terrace and Pokeworks nearby
About this hotel
This Hampton Inn holds the same strong 8.8 rating as its Waltham counterpart, built on free breakfast, free parking and a fitness room, but sits in Watertown rather than Waltham, closer to Boston Landing and a genuinely different neighborhood feel. Pokeworks is a one-minute walk for a fast, casual lunch or dinner between rounds, and Boston Landing itself is a nine-minute taxi ride for anyone wanting a look at Boston's newer development corridor. At twenty-two minutes from Logan, this Watertown property actually beats most of the Waltham cluster on airport distance despite its budget-tier pricing. The terrace adds a small but genuine outdoor space missing from several of the corridor's other value-tier hotels.

Our take
This suits a budget-conscious group wanting a strong guest rating, a shorter Logan run than most of the corridor and Watertown's slightly different neighborhood feel. It is a weaker fit for a group wanting to minimize the drive out to Brae Burn's Newton neighborhood, since Watertown sits a bit further west of it.
- Grab a fast lunch at Pokeworks between rounds; it sits one minute from the hotel and beats a long sit-down stop.
- Take advantage of the shorter twenty-two-minute Logan run if the trip includes a tight arrival or departure.
- Use the terrace for a relaxed evening in on a night the group does not feel like heading back out after golf.
