The hotel was similar to other Holiday Inn Express hotels we've stayed in across the country -- good value, comfortable bed, nice-sized room, etc. Our room was fairly quiet and looked out toward a lake, which was a surprise considering its location next to a major highway in a very urban area. Front desk staff were very friendly and professional.... More

I had heard some bad things about this hotel but had no choice with the booking as my usual choice was full. I stayed there for a week on business. I was surprised to find the room was comfortable and quiet. Even though it was spring break in boston and the place was full of kids, I didn't have any... More

Don't expect a romantic cocoon, or a luxurious experience. Room decoration is pretty standard, and breakfast is served in plastic plates and cups. But the team is nice, rooms are clean and large. That makes it an acceptable place to go for business trip. More

We were going to stay at the Marriott Courtyard next door to the Holiday Inn, as we did last time we visited Waltham, but the Holiday Inn was almost $100 less expensive, so we decided to give it a try. For $139/night, we got a king-sized bed, free wi-fi, and breakfast. True, our room was on the first floor facing... More

We have used this as our 'go-to' place now several times when visiting our daughter in Waltham. Not luxury by any means but we have found it to be consistently clean, well-maintained, quiet, with a reasonably well-put-together continental breakfast. A little thing that I really appreciate: the doors seem to close pretty quietly. This seemingly simple consideration (which many hotels... More

Up in Waltham for a college tour and stayed here. I have to say this hotel has the nicest folks working for them. From the front desk to the breakfast buffet, the employees were just so friendly and helpful with directions and places to eat. The hotel itself is nice and clean with a typical HI breakfast buffet. I would... More

In town for business for a few days. Easy check in, room was perfect, Internet was free, bed very comfortable. Everything worked as it was supposed to. The decor (interior decorating) was limited and not extravagant (move up to the Marriott Courtyard next door for better decor), but it was a great value. The breakfast was basic but free (scrambled... More

We stayed here because of its convienece to Bently University. The hotel had a special rate for prospective students, so be sure to ask for it. The only problem with the hotel, is that the doors are loud when pulled shut - so when I went to bed early, I did hear people going into their rooms in the hallway. More
