Top Shirley Hotel Reviews

The Boxboro Regency

8/10 Good

"While this property has aged, it is still a decent place to stay. I like to sleep in a very dark room and usually hotel rooms aren't very dark. This was mostly dark and the bed was fairly comfortable. Also, it is very convenient to have a restaurant on site. I had take-out from the restaurant; the service was quick and the food was good. Finally, the staff was very helpful and pleasant."

The Colonial Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a dated, solid 3-star hotel. The interior finishes all need a serious refresh. I was on the ground floor in a nice room, but the Wi-Fi was terrible and they stuck me down by the mechanical plant and housekeeping offices. Normally not a bid deal but they left the doors open to the mechanical room the entire time I was in my room. They also need to update the quality and number of WAPs. They were confused when I asked if they had a "business center" because they don't. Given the quality of the Wi-Fi in my room, it would've been nice if they had one.😊 The Colonial Grille is awesome; it is a shining star for this somewhat tired hotel. The restuarant/bar staff are awesome, and the food is good American fare. The bar is a lot of fun, and it's big. This is a local destination for weddings. I was there from Friday to Sunday in late October and I think there were not less than 3 weddings."
