Hotels in Natick MA: What We Could Confirm

Where to Stay in Natick: The Short Version

Natick is a town in Middlesex County in the MetroWest region of Greater Boston. Wikipedia places the town about 10 miles west of Boston and gives its 2020 population as 37,006. Most visitors come for the mall, for business in the Route 9 corridor, or to base themselves near Boston without staying downtown.

Four hotels in Natick sit on or near the mall. The Natick Report lists the same four, and several booking sites match them. They are the Hampton Inn, the Courtyard by Marriott, the Residence Inn by Marriott, and The Verve Hotel. Each one has a street address you can map today. We list them in the order they appear along Speen Street, then cover the Worcester Street option and the Framingham alternative.

The old version of this guide gave every hotel a pool, a fireplace or a patio. We could not confirm several of those claims, so we removed them. Where sources disagree, we say so plainly.

Hampton Inn Boston Natick

The Hampton Inn stands at 319 Speen Street, Natick, MA 01760. The Natick Report says the hotel sits across from the mall and connects to Skybokx 109, a sports bar and grill. A booking-site listing names the on-site restaurant as SKYBOKX 109 Sports Bar and describes American cuisine.

Both sources point to a free breakfast, free parking and pet-friendly rooms. The booking listing adds free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour gym, 188 rooms and a conference center. The listing shows check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out at noon.

Pool details vary. One older listing says the hotel has no pool, and the previous version of this guide claimed an indoor pool. Treat the pool as unconfirmed. Pet rules also differ by source, so call the hotel before you bring a dog or cat. We did not find a phone number we trust, so use the Hampton Inn site to reach the front desk.

Courtyard by Marriott Boston Natick

The Courtyard stands at 342 Speen Street, Natick, MA 01760, next to the mall. A meeting-venue directory lists 181 rooms and the phone number 508-655-6100. The directory shows check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 12:00 PM, and a booking listing agrees.

The Natick Report says the hotel has a restaurant called The Bistro, a fitness center and pet-friendly rooms. The booking listing adds a 24-hour gym, a 24-hour business center, a bar and a coffee shop, and free Wi-Fi in rooms. The meeting directory lists Wi-Fi as an extra charge, so confirm the Wi-Fi policy at booking.

Breakfast is available for a surcharge. Parking terms differ between sources, with one source calling parking free and another listing a nightly fee. Ask when you reserve. We could not confirm a pool, so ask before you pack swimwear.

Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Natick

The Residence Inn is at 1 Superior Drive, Natick, MA 01760. The Natick Report places the hotel across from the mall. Both the report and a booking listing agree on the address, a free hot breakfast and a fitness center.

This is the best fit for longer stays. The booking listing describes 136 suites with kitchenettes, separate sitting areas and sleeping space for up to four guests. A free grocery shopping service appears in the same listing. Pet rules vary by source, so confirm the size limit and fee by phone.

Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at noon. We did not find a phone number we could verify twice. Reach the hotel through the Marriott site.

The Verve Hotel Boston Natick, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

The Verve stands at 1360 Worcester Street, Natick, MA 01760, on Route 9 east. A meeting-venue directory lists the phone number 508-653-8800 and 251 rooms across seven floors. Other sources give a slightly different room count, so treat the number as approximate.

Two venues serve guests on site. The Pantry handles breakfast, and Violet Thorn is the lounge. The Natick Report and a booking listing both confirm these names. Both also mention a fitness center and free parking. Pets are allowed with a fee and limits.

Sources disagree on times. One lists check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at noon. Another lists check-in at 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. Ask the front desk for the current times. A booking listing shows no pool, so do not count on one.

Aloft Framingham: A Nearby Option Outside Natick

The old version of this guide listed Aloft Framingham as the fifth hotel. The hotel is in Framingham, not Natick. Its address is 130 Worcester Road, Framingham, MA 01702, and the phone number is 508-309-4183. Two sources agree on both.

Marriott lists a complimentary fitness center, an indoor pool, a game room, free on-site parking and an electric car charging station. Marriott also lists three on-site dining options, including WXYZ Bar and a self-serve spot called re:fuel. The venue directory lists check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM.

We did not source the distance to central Natick, so check a map before you book. We also could not confirm the hotel is open today from the Marriott page alone. Call before you rely on a booking.

Motels in Natick and Cheap Hotels in Natick

Many readers search for motels in Natick or cheap hotels in Natick. We did not find a motel in town we could verify from two independent sources. The hotels in the guide are national-brand properties, and rates swing with the season, weekday business travel and Boston events.

If budget matters, compare rates across several dates. Weekends can cost less than weekdays near an office corridor, but we cannot promise this for any given week. We do not quote rates here because they change daily. Use the Expedia link above to see live prices, then confirm the final terms with the hotel.

Hotels Near Natick Mall

Three hotels sit within sight of the mall on the Natick Report’s list. The Hampton Inn and Courtyard are on Speen Street, and the Residence Inn is on Superior Drive. The Verve is across Route 9 and Worcester Street. A booking listing for the Verve gives a six-minute walk to the mall, now called Natick Collection.

Wikipedia describes the Natick Mall as the largest shopping center in New England. The mall opened in 1966 and was rebuilt in 1994. If shopping is your goal, the Speen Street trio puts you closest.

Where to Stay in Natick for Boston Trips

Natick has two MBTA Commuter Rail stations on the Framingham/Worcester Line. They are Natick Center and West Natick. Wikipedia names both. A booking listing for the Verve gives a five-minute drive to Natick Station and a 38-minute drive to Logan Airport. Traffic can change these times, so treat them as a guide.

The Natick Report says Natick is 23 miles from Boston, while Wikipedia says about 10 miles west. The two figures use different measures, so we do not rely on either for a drive time. Check the train timetable for the Framingham/Worcester Line before you plan a day in the city.

Things to Do Near Natick Hotels

Natick has more to offer than shopping. Natick Center sits at Central and Main Streets, with the Town Hall, the Morse Institute Library and the Town Common. The state has recognized the area as a cultural district since 2012.

The Center for Arts in Natick, known as TCAN, occupies the restored Central Fire Station. Casey’s Diner is a ten-stool diner built in 1922. The Natick Historical Society holds exhibits on the Praying Indians and local history. The Henry Wilson Shoe Shop is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Natick has a deep history. John Eliot founded the town in 1651 as a praying town for Massachusett people. Henry Wilson, the Natick Cobbler, became the 18th Vice President of the United States. Runners know the town too, because miles 8 through 12 of the Boston Marathon pass through Natick each Patriots’ Day.

Hotels near Cochituate State Park

Cochituate State Park centers on Lake Cochituate, which links three ponds. The Massachusetts park service lists swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking and a 1.5-mile Snake Brook Trail. The park entrance is at 43 Commonwealth Road, Natick. Hours run from sunrise to sunset.

The park service says parking fees apply in season and differ for residents and non-residents. Call 508-653-9641 for current conditions. A booking listing places the Verve about an 18-minute walk from the park, which is the only sourced distance we have. Check a map for the other hotels.

Hotels near Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary

Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary is at 280 Eliot Street, Natick. Mass Audubon lists 624 acres with trails through woods, fields, ponds, marsh and along the Charles River. The Saltonstall Nature Center is a converted 1911 horse barn.

Mass Audubon lists trail hours of dawn to dusk Tuesday through Sunday and Monday holidays. Admission applies to non-members. Dogs are not allowed, though service animals are welcome. We did not source drive times from the hotels, so map the route before you go.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We checked each hotel address against at least two sources. These included a regional news site, booking-site listings, a meeting-venue directory and Marriott. We checked attractions against Wikipedia and the Massachusetts and Mass Audubon pages.

We could not confirm pools at the Hampton Inn or Courtyard, current pet policies, parking terms at the Courtyard, or the Verve check-in times. We also could not verify a phone number for the Hampton Inn, the Residence Inn or the Courtyard from two sources. Single-source details, such as the Verve and Courtyard phone numbers, are unconfirmed, so call to verify them.

We removed the old claims about a fireplace in the Verve lobby and a fire pit patio at the Residence Inn. We found no source for either. We also removed walking-distance claims for shops and sites, because we found no source for them.

How to Choose Among Natick Hotels

Pick the Residence Inn if you want a kitchen for a longer stay. Pick the Hampton Inn if a free breakfast and an on-site sports bar matter most. Pick the Courtyard if you want a bar, a coffee shop and a bistro on site. Pick the Verve if you want a full-service hotel with a lounge and meeting space.

Book early for graduation weekends, marathon week and holiday shopping. We have no data on occupancy, but the Boston Marathon route passes through town, so expect more demand near Patriots’ Day. Always read the cancellation terms before you pay.
