Best Western Inn at Sharon/Foxboro — The Affordable Choice That Still Holds an 8.0+ Score

The question most World Cup visitors ask is not "what is the best hotel near Gillette Stadium" — it is "what is the best hotel near Gillette Stadium that I can actually afford when prices triple for tournament weeks?" That is where Best Western Inn at Sharon/Foxboro sits. With a score of 8.1/10 from more than 700 reviews on Trip.com and Booking.com, it is the lowest-cost option on the Gillette roundup that still clears the 8.0 threshold. Guests consistently mention clean rooms, helpful staff, and a breakfast that removes one decision from a game-day morning. For the price point, that is a more specific endorsement than many higher-category hotels receive.

The rooms are straightforward 2-star accommodation with no pretense otherwise. A Standard King Room runs $90–125/night; a Standard Two Queen Beds room runs $99–135/night. The rooms are not large, but they are clean, the beds are comfortable by guest account, the air-conditioning works properly, and Wi-Fi is included. For groups of three or four sharing, the Two Queens room works out to a genuinely low per-person cost while still delivering a private parking space and a hot breakfast the next morning. Best Western Rewards points apply here too, which is a small bonus most guests overlook.

The two amenities guests mention most — and the two that matter most at this price tier — are the free breakfast and the free parking. On a game day, eating at the hotel before leaving removes one complication. More importantly, parking at Gillette Stadium during a World Cup match is expensive. Leaving the car at Best Western and taking an Uber or rideshare to the stadium, or finding one of the free remote lots near the stadium, is a straightforward way to avoid that cost entirely.

On location — the hotel sits in Sharon, MA 02067, directly adjacent to the Foxborough town line. Gillette Stadium is 4.3 km away — a 7-minute drive under normal conditions. On World Cup match days, leave an extra 15–20 minutes for traffic; the whole corridor fills up. The area around Sharon and Foxborough is quiet suburban New England — no restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, no bars, no immediate commercial strip. If you have a car, that is not a problem. Driving a few minutes gets you to Patriot Place for dining or onto I-95 for chain restaurant options.

It is worth being direct about what this hotel is not: there is no pool, no on-site restaurant, no spa, and the room size is modest. If you want to celebrate a match victory in a rooftop bar, or sit in the lobby over a drink before heading out, or recover from travel in a larger room — this is not the right property for that trip. The surroundings are also entirely car-dependent; if you plan to eat out in the evenings, you will drive to do it every time.

To put it plainly: Best Western Inn at Sharon/Foxboro does one thing well — it gives you a clean, reliable base near Gillette Stadium at the lowest verified price in the area, with breakfast and parking included. More than 700 guests have given it 8.1/10 for doing exactly that. It is best suited to budget-conscious travelers, groups splitting costs, and families with a car who want a sensible base without paying the Foxborough stadium premium. If your budget stretches a bit more and you want to walk directly to the stadium, the Hilton Garden Inn or Renaissance Patriot Place are worth the comparison.
