I recently stayed at this property with my husband and 3 boys, ages 10, 7 and 1 year. From the moment we walked into the hotel we were greeted with smiles and excellent service. We were welcomed with gift bags, a perk of the Holiday Inn Priority Club Program, which contained snacks and bottled water. This hotel is clean, comfortable and I would say exceptionally well run. The staff have a friendly competition program that recognizes great service and it shows that this competition is taken seriously and the individuals working there have pride in their work.
The hotel's restaurant, which is never busy, had great food and great prices---kids under 12 eat free if they order from the kids menu. The pool area was clean, had fresh nicely folded towels available at all times and had a life guard on duty. The pool which we thought was a kiddie pool was actually an enormous hot tub. The kids loved it. The lounge has a great pool table, good drink prices and a big screen tv which was great to watch the baseball games on.
The location of this property was key in exploring Boston. A few minutes from the T and you are at Sullivan Station which takes you anywhere you'd like to go. Locals were friendly and gave us many important pointers. We bought 2 $15 7-day passes and went everywhere by T. Kids ride free.
All in all, I would highly recommend this property to anyone, business, family vacation or just a get away. It's a great property at a great price. Don't be fooled by the looks of the town of Somerville, it may seem a bit run down with some littering issues, but the people are nice.
