Waltham Hotels

The hotel was clean and had all the amenities you might need during your stay. Parking garage has in and out privileges. Hotel is quiet & beds are comfortable. There is a Dunkin' Donuts across the street.

Don't stay here if you are hoping to be close to Boston. It's definitely outside the city. It is easy to find though. It's located just off the highway.

Almost everything about it was amazing

Their pool facility does not have a hot tub

I enjoyed the continental breakfast was excellent.

The bathroom tub held water in the tub. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay.

The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly, the hotel was quiet, the breakfast was very good, and the hotel was located close to downtown Boston without the downtown Boston price tag.

One of the hotel elevators didn't work.

Bed was comfortable

Very small bathroom, Vent broken. Tv remote didn't work well.

I liked the price, especially for New Years Eve. I liked the guy at the front desk with the dress he was very polite and helpful. I like how everything was fairly new. I appreciated the free breakfast which was not too shabby at all.

No pool

Not much

The place just felt dirty. Floor was a little sticky. The place looked worn out. I arrived around midnight. No-one was at the desk but there was a sign saying will be right back. Went to the phone to call and it didn't work. The wash cloth (white) was kind of gray. Maybe something was wiped up with it washed and put back in service. Was noticeable next to the other real white wash cloth, Towels were rough except for the two bath towels I used. I will usually wake up early and do some work. I couldn't. I showered, shaved and went to work early.

the room we stayed in

the breakfast quality

Overall my stays in the past have been great rooms are clean staff is friendly and helpful. I would stay again however I would hav to check the bed before doing so

The bed was not comfortable at all. I was going to ask to change rooms but I honestly was too tired to pack my things up and move. These things should be inspected I can't believe i'm the only one that have may brought this to the staffs attention

The staff was very helpfull with directions and knowledge of surroundings

Tv had lost signal a few times...

Bed was very comfortable, staff was terrific.

Bathroom needed some cleaning and the one of the towels had a big yellow stain on it .

The area was right off the highway in a complex with three hotels. Room was neat, clean and I had no problems with noise. There were folks that were noisy outside. This is an extended stay hotel and it was nic e to have mini kitchen available. Single chair in room had seen better days.

If you're looking for a cheap, clean place to stay for a short business trip, this place is fine. The staff was polite, but only offered information about eateries when asked. I did not use the stove top and the microwave and frig worked. The locale is prime for traveling on Interstate 95, and is in a quiet, commercial area. Eateries are not within walking distance, so ask for suggestions.

I loved that they provided us a cot for no extra charge, the beds were comfy, everything was very clean, people were nice, everything was great!

I didn't like the expensive breakfast, it was pricey and not very good at all, maybe a free continental breakfast would have been nice.

Very clean and the bed was really comfortable. Loved having the Starbucks cafe but would have liked some sort of complimentary breakfast available. Great location for our purposes and loved the underground garage.

Nothing

Location was great and easy to find.

The overall hotel was loud, other visitors were loud and the room was noisy from them and the elevator.

Great location clean room and quiet

The rooms were decent size and nice overall for the price.

NO PARKING!!!! There was no mentioned of no parking when booked my stay and had to pay $28 a day for the parking garage. So it was a group of 6 people with 4 cars....$28/day each. :( The staffs at reception were rude when I asked about parking. This was not a good experience and would not recommend to anyone.

Arrived at 130pm to check in but was told room wasn't ready. When I returned later that night they told me they were overbooked and bumped me to a hotel 20 minutes away. Even though they paid for the cab it was an inconvenience.

Nice breakfast, but heavy on the sugar and carbs. Has workout center and small pool.

Billed themselves as providing free airport shuttle & there was none. Suggested I call a cab ($100 ride) instead. Did not provide cleaning service because it was a holiday weekend. Staff utterly unapologetic. did not provide evening happy hours on holidays, either. The most eye-rolling I've ever seen in a hotel staff. They were full of themselves.

loved the breakfast. was pleasantly surprised with the accomodations as some reviews said they were too stark. However, I thought they were very comfortable, lots of perks.

Thought the beds, while comfortable, seemed to have valley from use. Also, did not like choice of teas.

Location

The rooms are old, they smell like stale cigarettes, and the gym is poorly equipped. Only one treadmill.

This hotel is undergoing renovation. It needs it. The ac unit in our room was clearly old and beat up. There were holes in the halls where new cables are being or will be run. There were screw holes in the bathroom and an outline around them on the wallpaper of something that used to be mounted there, but isn't anymore. The water in the bathtub drained too slowly, it filled while we took a showe

Comfortable bed, clean room & bath, quiet

Dinner table in restaurant had a nice view of river

Given the price of hotel $300 for one night and the suburban location expected more. Room, 466 was an extraordinary ling walk from lobby. The hotel is poorly designed. Nothing was free. Had to pay $11 for the internet, no free coffee or hot water in the lobby. Housekeeper was knocking on our door at 8:30 in the morning then opened the door when we didn't respond soon enough. They leave an envelope in the room to remind you to tip housekeeper. I generally don't stay at Marriots so maybe they do this everywhere. The fan in the bathroom didn't work. Seems like this is something the housekeeper should notice and report. Would not stay here again.

the staff were both kind and helpful

The bar area, food was good, drinks we're good. The contemporary look was nice, overall great experience.

The pool area was very small and extremely hot.

Beds were comfortable.

The entire facility including the rooms smelled of strong bleach or other chemical cleaners. It was an overpowering smell that we didn't dissipate until after leaving the window open for a good 12 hours. And although the rooms appeared to be very clean, there were obvious longer term maintenance issues, such as peeling paint and sloppy repairs in the shower.

Location

Noisy, gum on the floor, door didn't lock automatically, generally careworn.

The staff was extremely helpful.

The included breakfast and light dinner was very good. Room was very clean, modern and nicely decorated.

All rooms have only one bed. Any additional sleepers use a roll away or pull out couch, which was not very comfortable.

It did not rain on me!

More like a transient htl.

A window I could open, to cool my room down before I went to bed.

Location was excellent. The room was very nice and comfortable. Excellent farm to table restaurant and bar.

Although they had a parking garage, the elevator to the lobby was out of order so you had to take the stairs and the stairs lead to outside the front entrance. Very inconvenient if carrying any bags from the car and also because of sub-zero temps that weekend. Also no in and out access for self parking at $40 per night. If you leave you have to pay again.

Location was great with excellent service and nice trait ants around in the plaza

Liked the staff, very accommodating and professional. The layout of the rooms really feels comfortable, less like a hotel. The location works for me because it's close to my daughter. Love the cookies.

Furniture in living room portion of room could use a good cleaning or update. It's a bit noisy, so if you like it very quiet, probably wouldn't work for you. Restaraunt menu selection is minimal also for the room service.

Nothing

Over price for the room, no continental breakfast, area location was too busy ... Too expense hotel doesn't offer continatal breakfast for that price

staff was nice, room was clean and visually appealing, great location

ran out of coffee creamer on a Saturday morning? charged me for parking fee after my friend already paid, took 3 calls to get it straightened out

Expensive parking

stayed here many times, very convenient to red line, harvard square, etc. rooms nice, clean , quiet.

The management was fantastic.

Having to pay $35 to park my car. Given location of hotel, how do they expect people to get there other than by car. It is not like the hotel was in downtown Boston. Should be free to Marriott members. Breakfast was o/k.

very large room, comfy bed, large bathroom, access to Boston highlights.

nothing!

Great staff, from the curb to the desk to concierge and room service--really, really good people.

Pricey room service breakfast A toilet whose flush handle was in need of repair

balcony walks in bad shape

It was cheap and near where we conducted business.

The staff was very lazy and the hotel itself is falling apart.

Our room was very spacious. The location is close to many things in Coolidge Corner.

We were looking at local colleges, and the location was ideal. We weren't able to take advantage of the T station just outside the entrance because of all the snow, but I'm sure that's a rare occasion. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.

The room was on the smaller side, but we expected that with it being in an urban area. Would have liked a continental breakfast, but there's a Trader Joe's nearby.

Location

Overall quality of the hotel is poor.

Hotel itself was nothing special but the price and location was perfect for spending the weekend in the city.

It was air conditioned and well located

The room smelled bad and the bathtub drain area was corroded and black. No wifi in the rooms.

Special thanks to Maria at the restaurant, and Roe, the omelette chef for outstanding service.

Nothing.

The online description advised on-site parking, it sure was, at $38 a day, I could have stayed at the Marriott down the road with free parking

$38 a day parking, turned my $150 room into a $200 a night room after taxes, very deceiving

Location is ideal! You can easily walk to all the major attractions in Boston.

It would have been nice to have a refrigerator in the room.

Nice lobby, but this hotel needs a major amount of work!

Problems: 1) TVs are analog, which means there is no resolution at all. Very blurry. Like 1998 TVs. Shocking at a so-called 4-star hotel. 2) Air conditioners that are so loud it sounded like we had a 747 revving outside our room. We couldn't adjust the AC except to two temperatures: 68 and 74. 3) No mirror in the room. 4) No refrigerator or mini-bar in the room. 5) No blow dryer. 6) Waited 15 minutes for an elevator, then couldn't get on it was so crowded. 7) Rude, arrogant staff except for Serena, and the day GM, who tried to help but wasn't around to do much until it was too late. Don't stay here. There is so much better around!

We checked in, headed up to our room, and found a party going on in it. Upon reporting that to the front desk, they were completely confounded. They found another room (supposedly larger than the first) and gave us drink coupons for the inconvenience. No problem. The room was small. 6" between the end of the bed and the desk. But otherwise ok. So we headed down to the bar and ordered two dry martinis a tiny bit dirty. They were out of Stoli so the bartender gave us a premium Stoli. The drinks came back with so much olive brine that they were green. Not drinkable, so we decided to head out for dinner. Upon leaving the coupons we were told that they didn't apply to premium drinks. We suggested paying the difference (for undrinkable cocktails) and the bartender got an attitude and said "just forget it". Finally, upon leaving the next morning, the smallish elevator stopped on the next floor down and the housecleaner got on with her cart, a big garbage bag stuffed with laundry, and a huge gray garbage can on wheels. We were crammed into the back corner of the elevator with our bags. How strange!

I loved the modern interior design and how friendly and helpful the staff was. My wife and I stayed at the Boxer for two nights for our mini-moon. We told the front desk staff that it was our honeymoon, and then about ten minutes later, a piece of red velvet cake and a bottle of champagne arrived at our door, completely on the house. We were very impressed.

My only complaint is that the rooms in the pictures from the website looked bigger than our actual room.
