$15 for parking? Really? Garage is a pretty good extra 10 minutes added to your trip. Small spaces in covered garage, detached from hotel. Internet extra. Room service over priced...even for a Westin. $32 for a burger and fries? Hotel is LOUD. Atrium open to guest room hall and lounge below. Noise is double-digit to your door. Highway right outside....

Nice, comfortable bed, rooms with a view. Only problem parking where they charge $15 per day. But a nice hotel with nice sleep quality. While checking out a lady was complaining about kids making noise, it was rude to ask me and my wife, if we did it. anyways excellent property.

The staff are extremely pleasant, the rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable. It's in a convenient location to Route 128 businesses and the Metrowest suburbs. The Sunday brunch was excellent. We used this for a high school reunion, and everyone was very pleased.

We booked two rooms from Priceline for Thursday and Friday, the hotel is very busy with multiple sessions going on. The room is clean, however, the noise in hallway can be easily heard, as well as the noise from the icemaker. One of the reason for this noise is the room door is not very good sealed. The location is... More

Upon arrival I was pleased to see that the renovations that were taking place when I last stopped in there had been completed and that the lobby had new carpeting, updated woodwork and new reception/check-in desks.

We recently stayed at the Westin-Waltham to attend an event at Brandeis. I want to disclaimer this review to say that we stayed the same days as the bombing, and that it was clear that there were a fair amount of people being transferred from the Boston to Waltham Westin. That said-I'm not sure it would have impacted many of... More

Hi, everyone, I had high hopes for this hotel, driven by it’s location—20 minutes outside of Boston—and it’s ‘not bad but not inexpensive price.’ I stayed April 14 – 17, 2013 as I was in town to observe the marathon, and paid over $500 for the three nights. Sadly, I was disappointed. When I arrived, check in was fine, but... More

I stayed here for 4 nights for a business trip to Boston. My visit was actually to Hopkinton and so I thought that staying downtown would be a drag so decided to go half way.
