Are you asking for a hotel near the Hopkinton marathon start? If so, I don't think there are many hotels in the area close enough to get to the starting line without using a car. Instead, the vast majority of people stay in Boston and take the BAA provided shuttles to the start line: https://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/enter/transportation. That way, when you're done running, you don't have to worry about how you'll get back to your hotel all the way back at the start line.

Runners also get the super cool experience of every random stranger they pass congratulating them as they hobble back to the hotel. And people giving up their seats in the T.

I can confirm this. As far as I know, there are no hotels in the town of Hopkinton, period.
