DoubleTree Northshore isn't a bad pick IF and only IF you get a good deal for it. If you pay full…read moreprice, I reckon it's not worth it. The staff is nice and they do their job. The hotel however is very old and has lots of not-so-enjoyable quirks as a result... While our room was clean for the most part, the shower was difficult to operate (defective more like) and the showerhead had mold growing on it. The bed sheets were clean EXCEPT for that one corner with a smear of something red (blood? raspberry jam? take your pick!) and the bed itself was so soft I thought it would swallow me whole. I could barely move. The pillows were soft beyond what's reasonable for a human head. Noise from other hotel guests was by far the biggest issue. Paper thin walls meant I could hear the TV and guests speaking next door. Across the hallway, another guest was playing music SO loud that hotel staff came to knock on his door to warn him to keep it down. They had to knock 10 times for the guy to hear them and answer the door. Gives you an idea! At least the staff was proactive... Oh did I mention there's a crack under the room door that is almost an inch high? All sounds from the hallway will echo inside your room as a result. Nice... said no one ever. So, as I said in my intro, if you get a good deal like we did, all these issues might be worth putting up with. Otherwise, stay away if you value good sleep.

I paid $100 to stay here & could have stayed somewhere much nicer for the same amount.

The ONLY ok thing about this room, was the fact that the door locked. The new owners are also very RUDE! Extremely poor customer service! I'd rather stay in my car than stay here again.

There was no body wash, only shampoo/conditioner/lotion. There were hairs and unknown bug exoskeletons on our bathroom towels.

"Sweet things from Boston So young and willing…read moreShe thinks I'm crazy But I'm just growin' old" (Steely Dan) Our first impression of the hotel was far from stellar. We arrived before noon and were hopeful our room was available, which it wasn't. We figured we'd use the hotel for a pit stop, sit in the lobby to plan a day trip to Marblehead, and then check in later in the day. After my wife asked the registration desk for directions to, and then visited the ladies room, she told the desk that the restroom was out of paper, and the clerk said "oh yeah, I know." Wow... would it have been too much to mention that before she went in? So after that bit of uncomfortableness, we sat down at a table near the coffee machine and saw most of the tables needed a good cleaning--there were straw wrappers and spilled sugar everywhere. After we did find a clean table, we did see maintenance come over and start working on the tables. Our room was fine- big enough to relax in with a couch, a comfy bed, a nice work desk and a totally adequate bath and shower. On the minus side, the walls are thin, so you might hear your neighbors, and you might hear the traffic roaring by on Route One, which pretty much abuts the hotel property. The included breakfast was very good with a nice assortment of the usual hot and cold items. No complaints about breakfast. Parking is free and there are plenty of spots available. So all in all, once we checked in we had a decent stay here with no further complaints. PRO TIPS 1 - We entered the hotel property from the left lane of Route One on a pretty sharp approach, so be diligent and be careful if that is the way you're getting there. 2 - There is a fantastic Italian restaurant (Marco's) within a few hundred feet at 47 Newbury Street

They're doing renovations on the entire building, and the only acknowledgement to guests is a little card in the room saying "BIG NEWS! Sorry the windows are covered in plastic, but we promise it'll be worth it!" I'm certain this will make those staying in this hotel for just one night incredibly happy. That was sarcasm in case you didn't clock it. Sorry for a poor press, but I know you can do better! Please try harder!

Make sure to always bring your room key card for swipe access. Free breakfast in the hotel lobby that starts 6:30 AM on weekdays and 7 AM on weekends. No EV charging available, but free overnight parking. Appearances wise, the rooms are slightly newer/nicer than the Hampton inn next door. In reality, you can see how dated this hotel is: the corner pipe paint is peeling off, slow toilet flush, tub is updated, etc. I talked to the hotel and they do a refresh every 8-9 years. I think this hotel has been around for 30 years and it is the oldest hotel amongst the three: Hampton inn, homewood suites, and springhill suites. Breakfast selection changes on a daily basis, but it is essentially the same as the Hampton Inn next door. I wonder if they run the same menu on a daily basis with slight variation. Public bathroom is also located on the first floor if you need to use it. Nice lobby area. If you need anything like extra towels or trash bag, you have to go downstairs and ask from the receptionist. I don't think they have enough staff to send stuff to your room. Love the fact that the room has pots, pans, plates, utensils, dishwasher, etc for convenient kitchen needs.

They took care of booking the airfare, hotel, and transfer to the hotel. They provided me with first class worry free experience. The hotel room I got at the Grand Porto Real was amazing. I was less than 10 feet from the beach from my hotel room. For most of my vacation, I lounged on the beach, swam in the clear gulf water, and let all my stress fade away. The view from the Krystal in Cancun was amazing. I did visit Chichen Itza on one of my days that I was not on the beach. I suggest that anyone traveling to the Yucatan visit one of the Mayan sites. The ruins were completely breath taking. I had a wonderful vacation and came back relaxed and ready to take on the world again. I would book my trip again through Go Blue.
