Hotel Home2 Suites by Hilton a Canton

I booked the Homewood Suites by Hilton in Canton after searching Boston and surrounding areas for a hotel that had a working hot tub. My husband and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We both enjoy American History and since we had not been to the New England area, we thought Boston would be a great place to start. The hotel room prices in Boston were outrageous and even at over $500+ per day, I could not find a place with a working hot tub. I was pleased to find the Homewood Suites in Canton had what I was looking for. The Sales Manager Rebecca emailed me to confirm our reservation and asked what she could do to make our stay special. She sent me some information about the area. I let her know about our anniversary plans and that the reason I wanted the hot tub was because of all the walking I expected we would be doing would take a toll on our “old bones”. I also explained that I was only able to find a room with a king bed and that because I suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome 2 Queen beds would prevent my poor husband from getting kicked all night. When we arrived, I was so pleased to find that Rebecca did find us a 2 Queen bed suite. The room was in close proximity to the pool and hot tub. Rebecca also presented us with a very thoughtful canvas bag full of snacks and a special “Happy Anniversary” box of cookies. Every morning, we enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast. My husband especially liked the fact that coffee was available 24/7. We drove down to Plymouth for a very nice day touring the Mayflower II and the Pilgrim village and had lunch at the Lobster Hut. When we flew into Boston/Logan airport our plane landed around 2:30pm. The map I looked at showed Canton to be about 34 miles south of Boston. We took the interstate highway system which was horrendous. My husband has driven in New York and Chicago and tells me Boston is worse. After bumper to bumper traffic on the highway and going through tunnels, we finally arrived at the hotel around 6pm. That experience made us decide to take the train to Boston instead of driving. When we got to Boston, I was so grateful that I booked the Homewood Suites in Canton instead of getting a room in Boston. We expected Boston to be a wonderful historical area, but found it overgrown with high-rises and narrow over congested streets. Although we took the “Hop on Hop Off” Trolley tour, it was very disappointing as the old historical buildings were hidden between the skyscrapers. We were lucky to catch glimpses of the rooftops that were pointed out by the trolley conductor. The best part of the tour was the Boston Harbor Tea Party. We ended up at Abigails tea house. The chocolate chip cookies were yummy, and I was able to try the different teas that they said were the same as the ones that were tossed into the harbor. In my opinion, they tasted like the were skimmed off the bottom of the harbor floor. I pity the poor settlers that would have had to drink th
