“Went there for winter solstice event at night so only saw a small portion of park. Event was good even though it was cloudy, had a guided tour of some art pieces and leaned a bit about each one. Small cafe had good hot chocolate and some tasty options for sweets.”
“Always a fun time at Level 99 - great games, food, & atmosphere. This time, I want to specifically shout out Isa for great customer service. Isa was incredibly helpful with helping us pause and restart our time so that we could enjoy some dinner in between games. Thanks Isa, great job!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Boston Beach House is an amazing indoor beach volleyball facility! The courts are clean, well maintained, and the sand quality is excellent—just like playing at the beach, but year-round. The atmosphere is fun, welcoming, and energetic, whether you’re playing league games, open play, or just practicing. The staff is friendly, organized, and always helpful, which makes the experience even better. It’s the perfect place to stay active, have fun, and feel part of a great volleyball community. Highly recommend!”
“Our Microsoft team had such a fantastic experience at Pinot’s Palette in Lexington, MA! From start to finish, their team was incredibly helpful, responsive, and accommodating as we planned our event. They made the entire process seamless and ensured everything was set up perfectly for our group.
A big part of what made the event so special was how welcoming and supportive the instructors were. Many of our team members came in feeling a little nervous about their artistic abilities, but the Pinot’s Palette team quickly put everyone at ease. Their guidance was clear, encouraging, and fun, which helped everyone relax and enjoy the experience.
By the end of the session, the room was full of energy, laughter, and a lot of pride in the artwork everyone created. It was amazing to see how engaged the team became, and how much they enjoyed stepping outside their comfort zones.
Overall, it was such a fun and memorable team event, and we truly appreciate the outstanding support from the Pinot’s Palette staff. We would absolutely recommend them and look forward to coming back again!”
“This hotel has always been amazing. I’ve been throwing my company party here every year, and as always, Krystie and her event staff go above and beyond to make it all happen! I also love staying here because their rooms are top notch.”
“Came here for the first time with one of my buddies. It was awesome. Can’t wait to come back and try it out again thinking about possibly looking into membership even though it’s not the closest place to be.”

“Attended a wedding here this past weekend. Their servers were so nice and attentive, and their food was fab! If you get a chance to try their candied walnuts on your salad, do not say no, and maybe steal the ones from your neighbors plate too!!”
“Very beautiful, free admission to the grounds but I highly recommend the mansion tours. Well worth the price and our guide was great! Interesting and very cool to see.”
“Amazing little museum, lots of revolutionary period artifacts from the Boston area to see in addition to the Masonic items. Free self guided, I believe there's guided tours for a fee if you reserve in advance.”
“My daughter had the most wonderful bat mitzvah party there on Saturday night. The hall is very large, modern and beautiful. There is ample space in the hall -- we were set up for 90 guests, with a DJ and Henna art table, and there was room to spare. The sound system was excellent, and there's a great space for dancing and DJ setup. Frank worked with us every step of the way with patience and an openness to new ideas. He helped us plan our custom vegetarian menu (likely the first vegetarian meal ever served there!), understand our setup, and work with our dessert ideas. His waitstaff was extremely professional and helpful. The only knock is that the bar selection for beer and wine isn't so modern, but it's a requirement to use their bar service. I didn't mind using it (we also bought the soda/water package) because the money goes to the Sons of Italy for scholarships. However, I would have liked some more choices in the bar. That said, the food was EXCELLENT, the experience EXCELLENT, and I can't say enough about the service that Frank and his crew provided. Happy to recommend again and again!”

“This place was great for a surprise party for my brother. You can easily fit 100 people here. There's plenty of space and the people in charge were so kind and helpful.”
“I was invited to lunch. We sat outdoors despite the heat, it was very nice and great shade. Our waitress was patient and thorough as she checked several times to make sure the lunch we ordered was good. It was quiet despite people around at other tables. Just a lovely luncheon with good friends.”
“This place is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue. It’s a historical building with beautiful grounds that you would never expect to be in Watertown. We did a hotel block right next door at the Hampton inn - some of our guests walked back to the hotel after the wedding which was super convenient!! We felt comfortable not booking a shuttle for that reason. Additionally, the shopping plaza next door provides several options for an after party location ?
I have to agree with one of the previous reviews stating that the staff is there to protect the mansion, not to ensure you have a great wedding day. We hired a wedding planner who advocated for us throughout the planning process and was a huge help the day of the wedding. I truly do not think we would have had such an enjoyable day without her - you absolutely should budget for someone like this if you book this venue.
Despite the gorgeous vineyard-lined ceremony area, you need to expect some less than ideal weather for this location. This means coming up with a weather plan that you are excited about. We had incredible weather, but the forecast was touch and go, and I was so stressed that we would have to go with plan B, which we weren’t excited about at all. This plan requires working with your catering team (the biggest expense of all…), so you should not be afraid to tell them what you want and don’t want in the event of inclement weather.
Do I regret having our wedding here? Absolutely not
Would I recommend it as a wedding venue? I’m not so sure.
Definitely do your research into the catering expenses before you book - and seek out a planner to do some vetting before you book here - this could help you anticipate expenses and understand the nuances to hosting an event at a city-run facility.”
“March 2, 2024, we celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday at Brush and Easel. She invited 12 of her best friends, she chose to paint a picture of a dog in a field, and afterwards we had cake. It was one of the best parties we have ever had because the studio space was so cozy, comfortable and inviting, and Irina was a gracious host, taking care of tea and coffee and leading the painting instruction. All the guests had a really wonderful time. I asked my daughter what was her favorite part of the party and she said, "all of it." That's what every mom wants to hear. Thank you so much Irina for a beautiful celebration for our family.”

“Outstanding two week stay. Christina and Dareleen literally make you feel like family. They are so kind and customer service oriented. Don't be fooled by the underwhelming lobby--the rooms are large and clean, and the beds are comfortable.
Heads up that the drive into and out of Boston during high traffic times can take almost 2 hours. We were in naïve thinking that it would take less; but that's on us. Great, safe place to stay with a lot of shopping in the surrounding area”
“Went here for a nice long 8 hour work team building event, they provided a great atmosphere, a lot of snacks in the common area during breaks, they had an IT specialist ready to serve our group in like 90 seconds when we had a technical issue with our display (incredible response time), and we went to their cafeteria for lunch, they had a buffet style set up, and the food was actually awesome, not only did they have a wide variety and vegetarian options, but the food was delicious, they had a few desserts to choose from. This lace is a little tucked away in Waltham, but for conferences, team building, seminars.. I'd say a hidden gem”
“Amazing staff and venue! We’ve had the honor to perform at the Watertown Sons of Italy many times. The manager Maria always goes above and beyond. Great location for Quinceañeras and special events! Highly recommended! ?”
“Jason (the manager) couldn’t have been any more accommodating, caring and helpful after I had a medical mishap last evening.He had all hands on deck to make sure I was alright.Thank you!!Patty”

“The lobby of this hotel's been completely redone and it is literally five star. There's a pool table, fireplace, saltwater pool and fitness center. Highly recommended if you like staying in the aloft style hotels. Nihil was great at the front desk and helped me with all my questions. Staff overall is very nice!”
“As a member of Historic New England Homes, I’ve been greatly impressed by the professionalism of the staff at the homes I’ve seen and Codman was no exception. We went on the house tour on Saturday at 11 am. We were held up by a traffic detour and arrived a few minutes late. The guides waited for all parties to arrive and that was greatly appreciated. They proved paper fans as well. Our guide was able to answer all our questions and referred us to other sources for those she didn’t have an answer to.”
