citizenM Boston Back Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing and unique hotel. The view, the room, the bed, the sheets all 5star for sure!! The iPad for the tv was not working but the battery operated remote for the tv was in the bed drawer and it worked well. The gym was perfect, loved everything that it had. Will absolutely stay here again on our next trip. It is so perfect in location to the MGM Music Hall which is what we came for and will again."

Cambria Hotel Boston Downtown - Seaport

8/10 Good

"The location is unbeatable, offering stunning views, effortless transit access, and tons of nearby restaurants and shops. Surprisingly, traffic noise wasn't an issue at all. However, parking is a major headache. Street parking is extremely limited. There was zero transparency on how to use the pricey third-party valet, and the alternative garage 10 minutes away costs the same or potentially more if you need frequent in and out access. Additionally, front desk service was disappointing. While a few "shining star" staff members were wonderful, the majority were unwelcoming and unwilling to assist with our parking issues. Despite these setbacks, I would still recommend the property. Just be prepared for the parking and mixed service!"

Sheraton Boston, a Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the location of the property. We parked in the Dalton St. entrance of the Prudential Building parking gargage and the hotel is attached to the garage for $47 overnight. We didn't even have to go outside to get into the hotel lobby. The lobby is super large with comfortable seating options, a HUGE bar and very cozy restaurant with great food options. The staff is friendly and very helpful! We walked to Fenway Park in less than 15 minutes. GREAT PLACE TO STAY! Especially if you are going to a Red Sox game! Much less expensive than closer properties to the park and the walk is quick and easy! Our accessible room wasn't ready when we arrived at 11:00 so instead of leaving our luggage with the bell stand, they offered us a roomy SUITE that was ready for check in to give us more space! Beautiful room!!"

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Forest Hills?

While Forest Hills offers a unique blend of urban convenience and green spaces, other neighbourhoods in Massachusetts that share some of its desirable characteristics include Jamaica Plain and Roslindale.

Jamaica Plain, often called "JP," is a well-established neighbourhood known for its green spaces, independent shops, and a strong community feel. The Arnold Arboretum, a sprawling botanical garden, and Jamaica Pond provide extensive recreational opportunities. Centre Street is the main thoroughfare, lined with local businesses, restaurants, and cafes. It's a great fit for solo travellers or couples who appreciate being close to nature while having easy access to Boston's city centre via the Orange Line.

Roslindale, or "Rozzie" as locals call it, offers a more suburban feel with a distinct village centre. Roslindale Village is the heart of the neighbourhood, featuring a town square, a farmers' market, and a variety of family-run shops and eateries. It's a good option for families looking for a more relaxed pace of life with excellent local amenities and good transport links into Boston via the commuter rail.

When is the best time to go to Forest Hills?

The best time to visit Forest Hills, Massachusetts is during the late spring (May to early June) and autumn (September to October).

During these months, the weather is generally mild and pleasant, making it ideal for exploring the area's natural beauty and outdoor attractions. You'll find comfortable temperatures for walking, cycling, and enjoying the local parks without the intense heat of summer or the chill of winter.

For those who appreciate vibrant foliage, early to mid-October is particularly spectacular as the New England landscape transforms with rich reds, oranges, and yellows. This is a fantastic time for scenic drives and photography, especially around the Arnold Arboretum.

Travellers looking for a quieter experience might prefer late spring, before the peak summer crowds arrive. The gardens are in full bloom, and the longer daylight hours allow for extended outdoor activities.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Forest Hills hotel for you.

Hotel prices in Forest Hills often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
