Hampton Inn by Hilton Boston-Natick is an easy choice for a family getaway. The location puts you close to some of the region’s most renowned schools — Harvard, MIT, Wellesley[JP2.1], and Walnut Hill School for the Arts —while Natick mall is right across the street. Garden in the Woods, Danforth Art Museum, and The Center for Arts in Natick are all a short drive away, and Cochituate State Park is less than a mile down the road for hiking, swimming, and a breath of fresh air. Free hot breakfast daily (including Hampton's famous made-to-order Belgian-style waffles), free parking, and connecting rooms make everything easier. After a day of exploring, the whole family can settle in at SKYBOKX 109 Sports Bar & Grill for burgers, pizza, and New England favorites.
