Homewood Suites by Hilton Needham Boston
Needham suites with a shuttle and free breakfast
About this hotel
The apartment-style suites here suit a golf group that wants to spread out after a round, and the local shuttle adds a genuine convenience most of the Waltham cluster does not offer, useful for a group that would rather not drive after an evening at a Needham restaurant. Free breakfast and an indoor pool cover the morning and after-golf routine, and Mandarin Cuisine sits seven minutes' walk away for a low-key dinner that does not require the shuttle at all. At twenty-six minutes from Logan, the airport run matches the rest of the Needham and Waltham cluster closely. An 8.6 rating from over 600 reviews puts this among the better-regarded suite hotels in the corridor, a reasonable middle ground between the budget Waltham options and the pricier Newton and Cambridge hotels.

Our take
Apartment-style suites and a local shuttle set the Homewood Suites in Needham apart from other bases near Brae Burn Country Club. Breakfast is free, the indoor pool and gym cover the evenings, and Mandarin Cuisine is a short walk for dinner. The 8.6 guest score is reassuring. I recommend it to golf groups and couples who want to spread out and leave the car parked now and then; anyone after a resort or a lively bar should look elsewhere.
- Use the local shuttle for an evening out if anyone in the group plans on more than one drink at dinner.
- Walk to Mandarin Cuisine for a low-key night in rather than booking a restaurant further out in Waltham or Cambridge.
- Book the indoor pool slot after a humid summer round; the apartment-style suites make it easy to change and go straight down.

Why guests love itI would choose the Homewood Suites by Hilton Needham Boston for a golf group playing Brae Burn Country Club that wants room and less driving. The apartment-style suites give everyone space, breakfast is free, and the local shuttle cuts down on car trips. There is an indoor pool and a gym, and Mandarin Cuisine is about seven minutes on foot. Guests rate it 8.6 across 630 reviews, a strong score for a three-star all-suite hotel.
