Stayed here for four nights while visiting our daughter in grad school. Typical Homewood Suites, one bedroom was very spacious for our family. Due to checking in and using the key on the app, we did not have much contact with staff, but when we did, they were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was as expected post-Covid yet some of the hot items were really very good. Location off 95 was very convenient and although our room faced the highway, noise was not a problem. Kitchen was nicely stocked. Some maintenance is needed as curtains and carpet were stained but nothing terrible; the suite was clean otherwise. The hotel was very busy yet we did not really hear any neighbor noise. Will definitely stay here again when in the area!

My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel for about a week during which time we were accused of smoking on the premises when neither my wife or I smoke first it went from the alarm went off to housekeeping and staff walked by and smells a strong odor coming from the room to then it be a supervisor walking by and smelling a strong odor and then when we finally said, please come in because we don’t smoke and they saw that we had the window open. It turned into all we had a security guard that walked by and Shasha buddy, hanging out the window and smoking if which, if that was the case I’m sure they would have led with that rather than give us the eight other excuses first , furthermore, if Security actually saw somebody hanging out the window smoking, I’m sure we would’ve gotten an immediate phone call from the front desk regarding the danger of somebody hanging out the window and the fact that they don’t allow smoking on the premises. It is my opinion as my wife’s as well with the only reason that they continuously said these things was to try and get us to leave early so that they could rent the room out to somebody at full price because we were getting the room at a discounted rate. Disappointing to be treated like you’re less of a customer because you use one of these third-party applications the gentleman at the front desk was very hospitable. However, everybody else is there was extraordinarily disrespectful as a complete and utter opposite.

We occupied two rooms for my second stay at this hotel. I find this hotel to be quieter than others. The hotel staff are all so kind, patient, and accommodating. They really want your stay to be great. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. There is a good selection of restaurants in the area and it is a very short ride to Newton-Wellesley Hospital, if you are in the area for medical appointments. We will definitely stay there on subsequent visits to the area!

Hotel location is good, next to the highway. Across the road is a big mall, eating, drinking and having fun, wholefood supermarket food is very full. A Best Buy around, and a Costco, you can go shopping. Next to the hotel lobby is a Chinese restaurant, opened by Fuzhou people, with a buffet of 15 US dollars, affordable. The taste is very good. It is worth eating. There are many people every day. Hotel facilities are the level of Jinjiang Star in China. There is no refrigerator, no safe, no toiletries. If necessary, call to the front desk. The sound of the air conditioner is very loud. If you have a sleep disorder, consider other homes. Either turn off the air conditioner, I just do it. The nine-point gym has only treadmills and walking machines, and the pool is small. The front desk service is general, and there is no smile at all. The hotel is either self-driving or Uber, it is not convenient to walk, too biased.

We stayed at the Boston Marriott Newton to attend a concert at Fenway Park. Access to the T was close, but not walkable (had to take a highway). Maybe a 5-10 minute drive. Hotel itself was very nice, staff was very accommodating and gave us an early check-in as requested. There was a little coffee shop (Starbucks coffee) and lots of snacks and light fare available, even after midnight when we got back. Our room was on floor 3, which is actually below the lobby and kind of underground, which was a little strange. There was a huge window with natural light, but the bedding felt very damp. The room did not smell musty though, and was very clean. The signs indicated a merry-go-round on the 6th floor so we went up for our child to ride it, but it turned out to just be a conference room which was disappointing (they should change the name). Overall we were happy with our stay. The damp bedding was my reason for 4 stars, otherwise I would have given 5.

In the room on the first night, the air conditioner made a loud noise when operating. The control switch only had automatic and manual, and only had two levels of adjustment. I have never stayed in a hotel room with such a loud air conditioner. After reporting it to the front desk the next morning, I was very disappointed. We were simply upgraded to a room with a separate bed and sofa bed, but the air conditioner was still noisy, just not as loud as the one in the room on the first night. The service at the counter is good, the parking lot is free, and there are shopping malls nearby.

I arrived at this hotel in the middle of a heatwave. There is a lot of glass in the entry ways so it was hot but I’m guessing it’s not always like that. I did really like the window nooks in the room. If I had more time it would have been the perfect spot to curl up with a book. Some staff wasn’t overly friendly but others really stood out; particularly after my stay. Just as I boarded the plane to go home, I realized that I left my full makeup bag in the bathroom of my room. I called the hotel and was told that housekeeping had collected it and saved it for me. Then enters Frank… he happened to be who answered the phone when I called and helped me coordinate getting it shipped back home. I had just purchased all new higher end makeup so Frank made my day! Moral of the story is the staff at this Hilton will help you when you need it!

The Crescent is located in a unique but convenient location, with both business and residential properties. It has a great feature—a long walk along the river out the back door. It is, however, a short (10 minute) walk along the river to downtown Waltham and great restaurants and a movie theatre. We stayed a week, had our dog, and he loved it too. The rooms are all suites, large and well-appointed with a complete kitchen. The place is clean and serves a great breakfast. To top it off, the front desk staff is very helpful, friendly and professional. No question, this will be our go-to place to stay in Boston.

The good: • Location • Server in the breakfast bar was friendly and attentive • Front desk staff was polite and friendly; offered me an umbrella during the rain The bad: • Room Condition: o Toilet seat – there was a urine stain about the size of a dime on the seat, which I had to clean and sanitize upon arrival o Rug was filthy – when I walked barefoot, dust, lint and random particles stuck to my feet. I had to frequently rinse my feet in the shower to get all the grime off o Thin walls/ceilings – I could hear the guest in room 322 snoring like a bear each and every night. And on Weds night, the room above me (420?) sounded like a heard of elephants o Lights – I could not locate a switch to turn on the wall sconces adjacent the bed o Shampoo/Soap dispenser – the screw was unscrewed so the assembly kept falling apart when I used the shampoo & conditioner o Bar – closed; business travelers look forward to a drink at the end of the day and an opportunity to socialize w/ other guests • Front desk staff did not greet me as a Bonvoy Platinum member nor offer a choice of hotel credit or points. I will not recommend this AC Marriott to my colleagues until these issues were addressed.

Oct2022: 3⭐: I selected this hotel as a result of needing a place close to the house with easy access to the airport. I selected this hotel through the Bonvoy app based on it fitting the criteria I desired. I wasn't able to get to the hotel until the afternoon hours about 1700. I picked up my spouse from the airport and we decided to get her checked in at the hotel on the way to the hospital down the toll road. I noted that the hotel was difficult to enter and it took a bit of concentration to locate the front entrance of the hotel as it sits over top of the tollway 90. There were two handicapped parking areas available at the check in lot. There is a pay parking garage attached to the hotel and adjacent to the front entrance into the hotel. The parking garage has more handicapped parking areas available and regular parking as well. The areas are not good for large trucks or RVs. The entrance was located and I parked and we went into the hotel. We walked to the front desk and a female worker didn't greet us, didn't say hello, nor did she say welcome to the hotel. The worker said ”give me your id”. My wife was standing there to my side and I looked to see if there was someone else there we had stepped in front of or cut in line. There was no one there but us. My wife said what did she say? Is this the check in desk? I commented that this is the check in window, right? What happened to the smile, good afternoon, welcome to Sheraton, or just hello. DEMANDING my identification upon entering the building was definitely not appropriate. Having a bad day isn't MY fault. I have a choice to choose this location, not the other way around. We finished the check in at the desk, paid for parking, and we went to the room. We dropped off the bags and found that the bathroom door sags and does not properly close as it's hitting the bottom of the frame. One of the window blinds wasn't properly functional. The noise canceling device and the traffic was something to tolerate. Some vehicle drivers passing under the hotel on the tollway, enjoyed throttling the engine. This added noise to an already bad situation. Decent area food spots are walking distance from the hotel.
