Holiday Inn & Suites Boston-Peabody, an IHG Hotel (Peabody, USA)

The front desk staff have received many rave reviews for their friendly and professional customer service, noting that they are happy to provide directions, recommend restaurants, and accommodate special requests.

Guests visiting the many beaches and seaport towns of the North Shore area find the location, and free parking, convenient. The Boston Logan International Airport is about 20 minutes away. There are also many restaurants and shops within a short drive. Downtown Boston is easily accessible by car, though guests unwilling the brave the city's notorious traffic and one-way streets can drive to the nearby T station instead.

Most guests find the rooms to be very clean, with comfortable furnishings. The pool is also described as well-maintained, and the fitness area, though not overly large, is outfitted with reasonably modern equipment.

Several guests have reported that the complimentary Wi-Fi was too slow or unreliable for their purposes. Others were unpleasantly surprised to find there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom, resulting in a very steamy room and foggy mirror after a shower.

Several guests note that the Holiday Inn & Suites Boston-Peabody is an older building, and though it has been renovated and refurbished over the years, a few recent guests have reported dated bathrooms, peeling wallpaper, and worn-out carpeting. A few others were troubled by housekeeping oversights.

Drivers should note that the hotel is directly off the highway and, unfortunately, if you miss the exit you have some distance to go before making a U-turn. Others note that there is not much by way of dining, shopping, or entertainment within walking distance.
