thread: deciphering those hotel pics

i did a shit ton of research a few weeks ago, and i recognize those hotel pics lol. here's what i can tell:

1) hotel indigo newton-riverside

a 3.5-star hotel in the auburndale neighborhood of newton, ma. located about 11 minutes away from W right off i-95, it literally shares a parking lot with riverside station (the western-most T stop on the D line).

there's nothing in walking distance besides the train station & a golf club, but liv says it's nice! i trust them. https://twitter.com/oliveseestrees/status/1280649973416128512?s=20

2) the verve boston-natick

formerly known as the crown plaza boston, this 3.5-star is located in natick off rte 9 - across the street from the natick mall. advertised as recently renovated, but those room pics have the same cp bedding sooo idk how true that is

okay erin confirmed that it is, in fact, clean & fully renovated! i've seen pics of the lobby/public areas & it looked pretty nice: https://twitter.com/villar0nga/status/1280661987417096193?s=20

3) boston marriott newton

last but not least, this 3.5-star hotel is on the charles sorta off i-90 and i-95. auburndale center - incl. a station on the framingham/worcester line, a star market, a post office, dd + starbucks, and more - are a 5 min. drive / 15 min. walk away.
