The Battle Green Inn & Suites

Great place to stay!

I live within 3 miles of the Battle Green Inn and, given some adverse Internet reviews, I decided to check it out in person; out-of-town friends of mine are coming to visit and the Inn’s remarkable location right in the center of historic Lexington Mass would be ideal for them. Upon my visit I concluded this was a great place to stay!

The Front Desk Manager, Ms Renee Reynolds (renee@battlegreeninn.com, 781-862-6100) responded most graciously to my unexpected visit and gave me a tour of three unoccupied rooms – the Suites were unavailable. Their “Superior Heritage Rooms” (US$99, queen bed) have quaint New England décor with a nice view of Lexington Center and the “Deluxe King” (US$79) rooms are larger. These rooms include a premium TempurPedic mattress, small refrigerator and microwave oven – remodeled in 2003. No, the place is not a palace with multi-million dollar renovations, nor should that be expected given their modest rates.

For anyone wanting a place to stay in the center of historic Lexington, this location is “the only show in town”, there is no other within walking distance. Other motels/hotels are by Rt. 95/128, 3 miles away in Lexington and about 5 miles in Waltham. Business travelers would do well to examine how these other places jack-up their prices during mid-week. With indoor parking, from the Battle Green Inn there are great restaurants and historic sites within a couple of blocks.

PS- For the record, I have absolutely no affiliation or relationship of any kind with the Battle Green Inn - I write this simply in the interest of fairness.

Unique Quality: Location, location, location!
