Hotels near Barnes Memorial Park, Dedham

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.

Very good hotel, good location, more than 20 minutes from MIT and Harvard University, room facilities are good, but also cooking. Pots and pans are complete, dishwasher is also very good, large refrigerator Very real, free parking, great, staying here next time.

The hotel is strategically located, opposite naitick mail, there is Macy's Department Store, there is food court on the second floor, there is Chilefang and pizza, there is a supermarket Aldi not far away, I am very convenient to buy fruit, and the elevated road to Boston is also very close.

Very well-appointed, modern rooms, large bathrooms, great meeting space catering. My only complaint was that I came down late one evening to get fresh towels for my room and the front desk associate rolled her eyes and sighed because housekeeping was already closed and she would have to search for towels. Another associate was coming to the front at the same time and I believe she saw her reaction and volunteered to grab them for me. I was shocked and puzzled by this behavior, but didn’t say anything because the other associate went above and beyond to remedy. Considering housekeeping now comes at request only and some of us are still figuring that out, you might want to leave extra toiletries and towels somewhere assessible to the front desk so the staff doesn’t have to go far too find them for guests in need - and most importantly - not be annoyed by such a simple request.

I was supposed to pick up my vehicle from a garage relatively near this hotel, after hours. I was unable to do so and ended up having to stay here out of necessity as my home is about an hour away. I had just gotten in from 2 weeks of vacation, I spent the entire day on two separate airplanes to get into Boston, and then to be unable to pick up my vehicle in order to finish my drive home, was frustrating. Thankfully I was able to book a very last minute room (1130pm!) at the Fairfield Marriott Boston Walpole location. The front desk was extremely friendly and accommodating and empathetic. I wasn't thrilled at having to pay almost $250 for a room. I wouldn't spend more than a few hours in, but I was able to get a late check out which allowed me to get some sleep after a long day of travel and to fix my car arrangement to finish my trip. So, aside from the price, being able to book the room so last minute and having a warm welcome when I arrived was very pleasant. I was happy to not have to go anywhere for some food and picked up a couple items out of their little mini mart by the front desk, and their free breakfast was certainly helpful in the morning. Though a bit limited. The room itself is nice, although I found a few items that obviously hadn't been restocked ( just a small miss I'm sure), And as I had gotten a 3:00 p.m. check out. When I checked in the night before, I was able to get some sleep, although the first knock from housekeeping came around 10:00. I explained to the staff member that I had a late check out of 3:00 p.m., and went back to get some sleep. The second knock came at 2:00 p.m. by the same staff member who I had previously informed of the 3:00 p.m. check out. I stayed with Marriott because I do appreciate being loyal to their brand, their hotels are usually top notch for my travel, and while most of what I went through the previous night had nothing to do with them, this certainly was not my best stay at a Marriott.

The hotel room is very clean, the sheets and pillows are white and white; the breakfast is very rich, you can make waffles yourself, super blueberry flavor, original flavor, and cinnamon apples. The hotel is very cost-effective, I booked it in Ctrip, a very successful choice, I have the opportunity to choose this hotel. I don't know why I can't upload photos.

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.

The hotel is new and the lobby is warm on a cold and rainy day. The good thing about a new hotel is that the walk-in shower is very convenient. The bad thing is that as soon as you enter the room, there are two bottles of water, and the discount for each bottle is 3 US dollars, which is really outrageous.

Normally I don't write reviews but I feel compelled to write a review about my family 1 night stay at Best Western Waltham 9/23. First and far most the price of the hotel was great (A+) compared to others in the area. Great customer service, check in and out was quick. The front of the hotel and inside the lobby area was clean and modern. The easy access to the pool was great but it should be more private. The last thing I need is people watching me while I take a dip. Similar to other reviews, the room itself was dated and in great need of some TLC. There were 2 full size bed with clean linen. The mattress and the blanket could have been softer, but that's just me comparing other hotel bed to this 1. I guess you get what you pay for. The carpet is in great need of shampooing/deep cleaning there were stains all over the carpet. The moisture/mold issue in the bathroom should be address along with new shower fixtures/shower curtain. You shouldn't need written instructions to tell you how to turn on the shower. I'm glad the hotel offered breakfast even though it was ok (B-). Overall our stay was ok . Would I stay again I doubt it. However, if you're tight on budget and you don't care about the issues mentioned above then this is the hotel for you. I'm not recommending this particular Best Western.
