Residence Inn by Marriott Boston-Franklin

Just off Forge Industrial Park in Franklin, this aparthotel sits minutes from Dean College and a short drive to Chilson Beach. Perfect for families and longer stays, it’s a handy base for shopping at Wrentham outlets and exploring nearby history spots.

Suite-style rooms (108 total) feel like a compact apartment with kitchens that include refrigerators and stovetops or microwaves, separate sitting areas, flat-screen TVs, safes and desks. The vibe is modern and homey—think fireplace-lit lobby, roomy suites, and practical comforts that make extended stays easy and family-friendly.

Swim laps in the indoor pool or relax poolside outdoors, keep up with workouts at the 24-hour fitness center, or fire up the picnic and barbecue area for a casual evening. Other highlights include a kid’s playroom, lobby fireplace, complimentary wired and wireless internet, laundry/dry-cleaning services, a tour desk and self parking onsite (may be subject to charges).

A 24-hour business center and a 400 sq ft meeting room support small events and work needs. Express check-in/out and complimentary wired and wireless internet help keep schedules tight.

Start each day with the complimentary hot-and-cold buffet breakfast, grab snacks from the on-site deli/snack bar, and unwind with a drink at the bar/lounge. Room kitchens also make it easy to cook simple, family-style meals.
