Hotels near Make Way for Ducklings, Boston

Great staff, very clean. Was skeptical when I read ”bathroom down the hall” but was pleasantly surprised by everything! For not having a bathroom in the room or pool STILL 10/10 I absolutely plan to be back soon! Might rent a whole floor with our couples friends

My experience with the hotel was awesome I didn't expect it to be like this but it was better than what I thought the service was okay the faculties we're great they make sure that the doors were locked at a certain time so no one can come through the doors unless you had your key I feel safe I had breakfast in the mornings honestly with this hotel I think it's a really great place for someone to stay if they just need to get away with their spouse there's always safety patrols patrolling the area to make sure that you're safe feeling safe and they are security in the in side there is no worries you and have a great night great sleep and people to meet

The hotel is 8 mins walk to the redline, which makes the transportation very convenient to all the main attractions in Bostion. The hotel is old, so the room has a weird smell. However, the reception desk is very friendly. We had our welcome cookies and some nice suggestions for the stay and transportation. There is a market place on the first floor which serves Starbucks coffee and other groceries. All in all, we are satisfied with the stay considering the price.

I stayed here one night during both my trip from El Paso, Texas to Rockland, Maine (stopping overnight in Boston) and again on my way back. It isn't a fancy hotel but it is a great ”commuter” hotel. Despite it being right next to the airport, I never really heard anything during my first stay when my room was at the front of the building (Room #312), and was only faintly aware of the planes taking off on the second night when my room was on the backside of the building (Room #213). The rooms were impeccably clean (even the windows which were crystal clear) and comfortable. The bed was ”comfy cozy”, and the shower was the BEST I have ever had in a hotel. The personnel were friendly and efficient. Ryan, at the front desk was especially understanding and helpful in getting my boarding passes for the next day's flight printed for me (I'm a ”senior” and go old school in wanting printed paper boarding passes). I would also like to give a special ”shout out” to my shuttle driver, Carolyn, who was especially outgoing and friendly (while still maintaining a constant watch on traffic). Speaking of the shuttle, they were very helpful and spot on when giving me directions as to how to get from my arrival gate at the airport to the spot where their bus would pick me up, and the bus arrived within the time frame they promised. Because of my experience with this hotel, I will be booking the Hilton Garden Inn at Sky Harbor Airport North in Phoenix for my ”stop over” nights during my Hawaii trip next spring.

Clean and comfy. Appreciated the breakfast which had hot food (scrambled eggs , sausage make own waffles as well as pastries/bagels/cereals/yogurt/fruits - Used their airport shuttle. But a bit noisy from vehicles on the street. Didn’t sleep well.

I travel enough to know what to expect. My stay at this hotel was mixed and while most employees were helpful there were a couple that should probably not be customer facing. I will start by saying my first complaint may be partly my issue. We booked a weeklong stay through JetBlue Paisley for 209 a night. I then decided after to come in a day early and booked directly through the hotel. When I called I mentioned my week booking and asked if the rate for one night added would be the same and was told it would be. My part? I received the confirmation but did not scroll to the bottom where the rate showed to be over 400 for one night. I assumed what I was told would be the rate. Shame on me. When we arrived and was told the rate I explained the situation and was told that they don’t know what we pay 3rd part bookers and that it was impossible no matter what that I was paying 209 a night even with third party. They would not back down form the high rate and arriving at 11PM I was not feeling like arguing. I was told to speak to the manager which I did and was told he’d bring it to the general manager. Almost a week later I still have not heard back. That’s the first part. As we got to the room the card would not open the door so we went back to desk and they re-programmed it. Went back up and still could not get in. Mention of possible broken lock was mentioned so I asked if we could just get another room and was told they were sold out. Building engineer was called and he determined that room was already occupied. Back to the desk again and they were able to magically come up with another room. Off to a good start and it did not get much better after that. At least one elevator of two was down almost the whole time and one morning both were down. The fire alarm went off at 7AM one morning and I assume it was related to broken elevators as there were signs saying to use stairs which were according to signs on second floor alarmed summoning the fire department and of course setting of alarm. A little foresight on hotels part to maybe disable alarm during the elevator outage may have prevented people walking through an alarmed door that they were told to use. We were also told there would be a 100 dollar hold for incidentals such as parking etc. I was fine with that and we exceeded that by about Thursday by about 20 dollars. They then put a 278 dollar hold on my card for a day or two for the remainder. It was only 2 days!!! I am still waiting for them to release that and for an answer as to why such a high hold. I was told the GM would call me and have left messages and still have not heard back almost a week later. The room itself while billed as a suite was small though that was not an issue as we don’t spend much time in there. It was clean and maid service was good. Hope if you stay here it goes better for you than for us. So much for a relaxing vacation.

As a travel nurse, I need a good extended stay location. Located in Waltham right off 95, this usually quiet hotel has friendly staff, clean rooms, and located 20 minutes from everything you need. Housekeeping was thorough and punctual, all of the appliances worked as intended (when my kitchen light blew, they had it fixed before I came back from work,) and they’re able to fix all property-related issues that arise. Overall, I stayed 9 months, and if I had to, I would stay 9 more.

Dont the unique decor of the hotel fool you. Outside the decor of the hotel, the rest is just gabbage, it shouldn't be part of the Hilton branch. I travel into Boston every week on assignment and it so happen that am currently staying in this hotel right now. I always have great experience in all the Hilton hotels I have been staying with except this particular one. I am suppose to be staying here for 4 days, and 3 day into my stay. Last night, as I was relaxing and having a cup of wine, the glass felt off my hand and spill on the bed. I had to use a towel to cover that side of the bed in order to be able to sleep on the bed till in the morning. I got in touch with the front desk at 7am this morning before going to work to let them know that I needed my bed sheet changed due to the spill drink. The lady at the front desk, assured me that it will be changed before I get back. when I got back from work at 3pm and got to my room, the bed sheet is still not changed. I called the front desk, to enquire as to why it wasn't changed. BILL at the front desk answered the phone and told me that, am not staying more than 4 days so, my room cant be clean. If I need towels, it can be send up stairs. I had to let him know again that, I had stopped at the front desk earlier today to let them know why I needed my bed sheet changed. From this point onwards he became condescending and repeat the same thing he said earlier of me not staying more than 4 days, and as I was about to say I will go down stairs to collect the bedsheet, he hang the phone on my ear. I call again to ask what was his reason for hanging up the phone on me, he didn't pick the phone. After that, I went down stairs to talk to him in person, and all he could say is, ”I did not hang up the phone, I thought you hang up, Maybe the phone got disconnected”. what a LAME ASS EXCUSE, for been UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE! This is the WORST experience I have ever had at a Hilton hotel and will never stay here again. Can't wait to check out

The front desk service is good, breakfast is the best among several hotels in the United States, balanced and very full. Remember to get the food before 10 o'clock, outdated. The room is large, the fly in the ointment is that the room with disabled bathing equipment leaks more after the shower.

Overall my stay was very good. The staff were helpful and kind; check in/out process was easy in person and with app use; the building and rooms are clean. Event food was very good and a great selection. Some things that were challenging are the layout of the building -- the central hub is fine but the long corridors to rooms can be daunting to navigate at the end of a tiring day. I did request (and receive) a room closer to the front to alleviate this issue. Also, the room toilets are very low and are difficult to maneuver if one's physical strength is not 100%. All in all, I enjoy this hotel. It was not my first visit and it will not be my last.
