The guest key is linked to the elevator providing security. You must swipe your key card and select your floor for access. We had a wonderful stay. The facility and grounds were well taken care of. Beth and Joey at the front desk were very helpful. We had a ceiling light and stove light out and the maintenance and engineering tech was very fast, pleasant, and easy to work with (sorry I didn't catch his name) and got it fixed right off. The kitchen worked out well. We cooked a few things and was glad to have a full fridge and freezer. Everything worked well and was stocked nicely. The temperature controls and unit worked well. They have a nice gym, walking path, doggies station, breakfast area, common seating areas and outdoor space. The only thing that was a bit disheartening were a few of the guests didn't always pick up after their pooches. Thankfully there were plenty of waste baggies so I did my fair share of clean up. I am really thankful to have pet friendly places to stay and wish other people did their part. We did have a run in with a guest who couldn't manage their two dogs so word of caution to be alert around other pups. The breakfast was decent with a variety of options such as oat milk, vegan foods, hot oatmeal, bagels, waffles, french toast, eggs, sausage and vegan sausage. Lots of condiments like PB, cranberry, nuts, seeds, juices and more. The staff did a great job cleaning up and keeping the food and coffee stations filled. One family with their young tots made a full blown disaster and I thanked the ladies who came up after to pick up and scrub it down. We had a king size bed with 4 pillows and extra bedding in the drawers. It was very comfortable as I've always slept well on Marriott mattresses. The room had plenty of storage to unpack, an ironing board, and updated outlets for charging. The rooms were cleaned every other day but I did ask them to come more often to vacuum up after the pup. I appreciated them very much. The view to the outside over route 9 towards the Natick mall was nice. It wasn't too loud and I enjoyed being able to see the grounds. The tree leaves were turning color and the ground people did a great job mowing, trimming and keeping the place looking nice. I look forward to our next stay and highly recommend this location. We met some long term stay guest who were also quite nice. Thank you to all the staff for being so friendly and welcoming.

Features include 3 upstairs rooms, which are cozy, nicely appointed, and have all the necessary items available. The host is an excellent communicator and provides wonderful detailed instructions for self check-in, WiFi, etc., so guests can have a lot of autonomy. Note: The entry and upstairs hallway are very small, rooms are in very close proximity to each other, and guests must be able to navigate stairs with luggage. This was not a deterrent for me - I loved it and felt like a special guest in a lovely home.

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. If I ever find myself back in the area, I won't think twice about staying here again.

The bartender John was super friendly. We seemed to only have one issue and that was constantly trying to give a room of 4, 4 towels at the same time.

There is a Starbucks on site but it's open until 11am. Essentially from 11am to 5pm if you want food you're going to have to walk down the hill and get Panera or venture off to Press which is a restaurant with yummy food and a line out the door. Panera did us just fine. The beds here were comfy and the rooms felt not new but not old either. Would definitely stay here again.

The room was very spacious (plenty of chairs, even a separate sink at the 'kitchen space' which proved invaluable) and clean. The bathroom was great. (But we do need to talk about the toilet's jet-powered vacuum suction which actually made me jump more than once. That's entirely too much power!) Beds were bigger than a twin, smaller than a queen. (Sheets and pillows were... fine.) Minor bummer: we weren't able to control/adjust the air conditioning. The control panel was disabled and it was always on - which was loud and a bit too chilly. Breakfast buffet - limited but surprisingly excellent. (The first day was in a separate/private room and was the better of the times we went.) Pool - good sized (the sign on the wall mentioned a weirdly specific number of "53" people being allowed to use it at same time which I found amusing) and (kind of) warm and not overly 'chemicaled'. (A few weeks earlier we were at another Marriott Bonvoy property and that pool earned an "F" grade.) Major bummer: a parking lot that you had to pay to use. (There were a handful of free/open spots but you have a better chance of hitting the lottery than snagging one of these.) I mean... we're (paying) guests, the room was not cheap - is it that farfetched to expect a place where we can park and not have to get dinged every time we're leaving the lot to explore Massachusetts? Not sure when we'd be back in this part of the country but we'd definitely come back here, for sure.
