    Run down
    Allina N.

    The staff was nice. Place doesn't look like anything advertised. It smelled terrible mixed with chemicals. Room was disgusting. Had blood stains on the walls. Doors were falling apart. I was in there for 5 min then walked oit. I still haven't gotten a refund.

    Lobby.

    Stayed here 9/3/25 , the lobby is very nice the water fall thing upon entry was enjoyable they also had fresh lemon/cucumber water & 24hr coffee bar which i frequented. The pool is huge for a hotel, probably one of the best hotel pools. The Interior has wood paneling throughout which transforms the feeling. It goes up to 8ft deep which I found interesting, most hotels only have 5ft, jumping into 8ft was so refreshing. The pool has towels available as well. The gym is located in the lower lobby and has a slight mildewy/mold smell. I feel like that should be addressed and the lower lobby should be transformed it feels very outdated and random. The gym has a few cardio machines however the peloton bike wasn't connected to wifi, and wouldn't work. The leg curl/extension machine also is incredibly rusty. The cables, chest press, and treadmills were fine however. They provide cold bottled water and towels there as well. The room itself is big for for the price , very spacious and has a good amount of storage. Upon walking in, I was uncomfortable by how warm the room was. It felt muggy. When i turned the ac on, it took about 15 minutes for it to feel better. There is a fridge, microwave, and coffee bar. The room is just outdated, it felt clean- but old. The wall paper is peeling, and the bathroom is outrageously small. The water pressure in the shower was also abysmal and it took a minute to warm up. It felt like 2010 in the room, which i had a love hate relationship with. Once we were settled, we were comfy. The location of this hotel is great. The view was fine. The bed was comfortable i slept nice, however the pillows are extremely soft. No bed bugs, nothing unpleasant in the bed. No stains, no smell. The restaurant, was 10/10. It was cutely decorated for fall, the waiter was kind, the food and drinks were solid. The breakfast buffet was solid. It had pancake machine, bagels toast etc, yogurt parfait bar with fruit and granola , fried eggs, sausage, oatmeal, cereal bar, home fries, and breakfast tortilla station. Very expansive, I was very satisfied. Overall the hotel from me gets a 6.5/10 , if you need a quick, cheap, decent weekend getaway - this is it. Its just that for 100 more bucks, you could get something way more modern.

    The lobby

    The room service was nice, the room was well made game with Dove soaps and gave you anything you need like a comb or even toothbrush and toothpaste. They also have breakfast and provides hot breakfast and beverages.

    On hold and customer service at front desk refused to help because hotel was booked from third party.

    The person behind the desk was not helpful at all. My company book my room. Selected the wrong day. Called Expedia to corrected it Expedia corrected it at their end. But hotel refused to let me in a room. I showed them the email screenshots and all. They made me wait outside the lobby until I can get it resorted. On hold with Expedia for about 2 hours and the personnel behind the counter still refused to make my life earlier.

    So if you've ever had a nice chocolate on your pillow in a fancy hotel then keep reading As we arrived for our room we were informed the room we booked only one hour before was unavailable,darn No king size bed big fridge bigger TV balcony etc.... I was ushered into a small quaint double room A double is a fancy word for full size I ran into bathroom after the drive only to find no towels in the room Atleast the toilet paper was around. As I began to place bottled waters into the fridge my fiance informs me what's with the lobster Well see picture It's a usual 2star peeling paint wallpaper falling down the Buick of the hotel group it's ugly dirty but still runs After contactin the hotel to speak with management I've decided to persue legal actions I'll be reporting to credit card company you can't get away with deceptive business practices

    Bed bug bites from Best Western Waltham

    Bed bugs!!! Hotel has bed bugs. I stayed in Room 317 on Feb 1st, 2024. My sheets had a blood stain on them too. I will never stay here again! Management is very unresponsive and does not care. I have yet to get a refund for my stay after leaving several voicemails. When I did reach a manager, he said they were carpet beetles. Yeah right! Something bit my arm three times in a section. This hotel is gross!

    Dirty toilet
    Stephen N.

    This is one of the dirtiest and least maintained hotels I've ever stayed in. I had to move my room twice. The staff working behind the front desk are super friendly and do their best to accommodate, but this property is seriously in need of a gut job. The first room wasn't clean. The toilet seat was dirty. There was visible skid marks. I was appalled. Nothing was wiped down either. I was moved to a second room which was also dirty. Nothing was wiped down but the worst part was how moldy the room felt and smelled. There was visible mold in the AC wall unit vents which I wiped down myself. There was mold on the walls. Every breath felt like I was breathing in musty air. I could not sleep. The next day I was moved to another (third) room. It was the best out of the other two however it still felt pretty gross. The entire property and rooms a have a terrible musk to it. The carpet was dirty. There was a mystery bar straw next to my bed and the door had fingerprints next to the lock which resembled blood. There was also no hot water twice. I came back from this trip with an upper respiratory infection. The air is not cleaning this property and I'm not sure how they are in business. Again, the staff behind the front desk were very understanding and did their best to find a clean room, however they all seem to have problems. I would never stay here again. The salmon at the hotel restaurant also made me sick. Two stars only because the staff was understanding and tried to accommodate.

    Pool hours
    Branden M.

    Nice location. Very safe. Bed was more on the firm side, and the pillows were super soft... after about 5 min your head sinks in and you have to fluff it... Overall not a bad stay. It was very quiet. Did not try the pool but it looked very clean and new. The hotel had a bar and restaurant that closes at 1 am. The hotel is right off 95 so it's convenient for traveling, which I was doing.

Plenty of towels, soaps, dishwashing detergent, dishwasher tablets were provided. It was a bummer that the body wash was empty when I attempted to use it. Breakfast was decent for being complimentary. There was usually some sort of powdered eggs, an omlette station, or hard boiled eggs along with some sausages, pancakes, pastry, and fruit selection. The property has a market selling beverages and snacks along with a business center right by the front desk.

It is away from the hustle-and-bustle of Waltham. In my view, it is one of the best options for lodging in Waltham. Prior to moving to Boston, I would visit this hotel yearly on my trips to Waltham for medical needs. The hotel has always been safe, clean, comfy, and cozy. My most recent stay is no different than the past. We checked in after a long drive back from New York State. Luggage carts easily accessible right at the entrance. Plenty of free, COVERED parking, which is a recent addition to this property! They also have expanded electric car capability for those of you with an EV! The night-staff always has and still leaves much to be desired. I feel they could use a touch-up on hospitality, accommodating guests, and basics like cutting workable room keys. Additionally, the on-site snack shop could use restocking a bit more often given the traffic this hotel receives. The lobby and common areas are always clean, fresh, and in great condition. I've noticed on my regular stays here the level of upkeep and maintenance. They truly care about and take pride in their property. It's why I continue to stay here when in Waltham. The rooms are fresh, open, and airy. The beds are plush with fresh, crisp, and clean linens. There are no lingering smells or odors anywhere on the property, which is a welcome relief these days! The rooms feature a mini fridge, coffee maker, and mini fridge. The suites do come with a microwave. Otherwise, there is a microwave in the lobby area for a late-night bite. They also have a gift shop on site, however I've noticed it usually is out of stock due to the traffic here. The breakfast is top-notch. Several main choices. Several proteins. Hand-held fruits. Yogurt. Pastries/Muffins, Waffles. They do the full gamut of the Hampton Breakfast. The staff is attentive to guest flow and demand and I've never had them run out of food. The sales manager is also lovely and always goes above and beyond to accommodate us and our needs. This is one of the many reasons we remain loyal to the brand for 200-300 nights every year. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable accommodation in or around Waltham, you cannot go wrong with the Hampton Inn Waltham! Pro Tip: The on-site mini bar/ Craft Food Hall concept is only open Monday-Wednesday due to demand. Outside of that, delivery services are reliable here and the hotel has given us several phenomenal delivery recommendations during our stay here!

I loved the fact that at this location you can adjust the air to be constant for those that like to sleep with a fan on. I gotta say this had to be one of the most comfortable beds and pillows and the quietest hotel stay I ever had. I was very impressed. They have a nice gym and also a laundry facility which is kinda rare to find. They have a breakfast buffet that is free. The coffee was ok and I liked the eggs the best. The sausage was ok but for free you can't complain. They also had a pancake maker machine. Never seen that before and also had all kinds of cereal and pastries, bagels etc...... I would give this place a perfect 5 star rating and would not hesitate to come here again.

Now that I've had more travel experience, I can confidently say this hotel is a hidden gem in Waltham. The apartment-style rooms are fantastic--spacious, clean, and equipped with full kitchens, comfy seating areas, and all the essentials. It's more like staying in a cozy apartment than a standard hotel, which makes solo trips, family visits, or longer stays feel effortless. The service is genuinely warm and welcoming, and the breakfast is a standout--custom-made eggs cooked to order and expertly crafted coffee that beats any run-of-the-mill hotel fare. The location is great too--close enough to Brandeis University for visiting students, but also easy to explore Waltham's Moody Street for restaurants, cafés, and a little local charm. The area felt safe and walkable, and for outdoor enthusiasts, you can hop on nearby trails along the Charles River or Mass Central Rail Trail for some scenic exercise. Bottom line: Whether you're visiting Waltham for school, family, or just a weekend getaway, Crescent Suites hits all the marks.

We literally had to spray the entire room with Lysol just to get the smell and the bacteria out of that room I don't know what the last guess did in the room but nothing would surprise me considering we found used condums inside the bed pull out couch we Lysol sprayed that couch bed 3 times just to be safe. The bathroom was not so great either the vent fan didn't even work it was literally painted over the despite multiple requests maintenance just completely ignored us. At some point during our stay they started doing renovations to the rooms which included replacing the tvs we didn't know when they were coming to our room, we went out one day and came back to a new tv which I did not care for because the color was much worse than the old one was, and also my credit card was stolen they also did not notify us with a 24 hour notice they were coming to our room to switch out the tv, my mother is a stage 4 cancer patient we were sent here by the American cancer society which I don't understand why they are sending cancer patients here it is not the proper hotel for cancer patients at all they can't even keep the place clean the hallway literally went weeks without being vacuumed, I saw a cleaning lady sweep out a room full of dirt into the hallway and just left it there, I mentioned it to the manager among other complaints but she didn't seem to care about anything but money she even messed up our bill a few times some how. There was literally a room called trash room with a room just full of smelly trash and we also found trash in the back door hallway just sitting there a long with some drug attics sitting outside the door at night and the next morning I was taking my own trash out from our room and saw a used needle sitting outside the exterior door good thing I was looking and didn't step on it. They also went days without maintaining the trash in the front lobby and outside the front entrance both cans were just sitting there with trash overflowing to the ground. We paid thousands of dollars to stay there but yet they can't keep the place clean, no one is barely at the desk at all times, laundry for the bedding wasn't being done so we had to wait all day to extchange our bedding, because the overnight guy doesn't do his job, the housekeeper doesn't do her job she is just plain lazy. What the heck are we even paying for if nothing is being done. I am demanding all of my money back because they do not deserve it that place is a complete dump and screw that Genral Manager Chester for saying he didn't give a shit about my Mom having cancer that is completely out of line and unnecessary and American Cancer society needs to end this partnership with this location. I hope I get all my money back!
