What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hampton Inn & Suites Boston/Waltham is praised for very clean, comfortable rooms and friendly, accommodating staff, with convenient highway access making it an easy base for visiting Boston and nearby colleges when traveling by car.

Guests like the indoor pool and gym, but parking can be tight during construction and the lobby bar’s hours or availability are inconsistent. Breakfast is frequently described as good with variety, yet several note watery eggs, slow replenishment, or crowded service. Common room drawbacks include thin walls or hallway noise and occasionally weak shower pressure; a few mention barn-style bathroom doors offering limited privacy. Overall, expect a modern, car-friendly stay with solid value.

It was cheaper than it has been, but we found out that was because they are doing a lot of construction in the parking lot. So, if you can’t sleep through construction noise at 8am, you may want to look elsewhere. That also takes up a lot of the parking spaces which can lead to parking problems. For example, being woken up at 6am to move your car because the person next to you can’t get out because they had to park a tour bus in non-bus parking.

Everything was fine except they have some construction going in parking lot area around the property. There were not enough parking and I arrived late so I had to park in some fire lane. Then got waken up in the morning to move my car because it was blocking the construction. Other than that the hotel looks clean and pretty new.

When we stayed here this past weekend. There were ants in the room. We did not eat in there or have any food so they were there prior to our arrival. When I bought this up to the front desk they just kept telling me they would bring this up to management, who would be in on Monday (this was Saturday evening). There was no remediation, no discount, no room change, no pest control. We couldn’t properly enjoy the visit there because the room was infested with ants. It’s currently Thursday and management still hasn’t reached out to me. Room 153.

We stayed at the Hampton because of its proximity to Boston College. The facilities were excellent. We stayed 3 nights and housekeeping didn’t make up our room one time - not a big deal but we did have to ask for towels. The staff were always friendly, the wi-fi worked fine, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. This property seems like a fairly new one. Our biggest negative was the breakfast. Eggs were just not edible, and other hot items weren’t good either. On the other hand, breakfast is free so can’t complain too much.

The room had a major privacy and comfort issue — half of the window didn’t have a curtain, which made it very difficult to sleep due to light exposure throughout our stay. It also made changing in the room uncomfortable, as we had to go to the bathroom just to have privacy. This really impacted our overall experience.

Enjoyed my stay here! The room was clean. The standing lamp was broken however. The only downside is the rooms do not come with a microwave, but they do come with a mini fridge, thankfully. You have to pay $25 per day if you request to have a microwave in your room. I used the microwave downstairs in the lobby instead. There market basket grocery store near by and dunkin donuts too. Some other shops in the area as well. Free parking in the parking lot. It got full at night time.

Room was probably the cleanest hotel room I've seen since who knows how long, which I appreciate the most out of everything! Shower and thermostat worked well, and the bed was quite comfy for a hotel bed! You can hear a bit of door slamming/footsteps from the hall & upstairs, but nothing that will really wreck your night/stay, and I've certainly had less sound-proofed rooms, including my own apartment! Only downsides were the front desk wasn't very friendly (not mean, just also not friendly) and I wasn't as at all impressed with the breakfast they provided. Would definitely stay here again!

Only complaint is that the bathroom door was a barn door that doubled as a closet. There was no sound privacy, did not lock and you could see through the corners. I am not sure what this is about but guests would appreciate a bathroom door that locks

The staff in the breakfast room was rude. She threw the serving spoon on the spoon rest & made a face. The place was busy on breakfast time and it took them a long time to serve more food when they ran out of the hot food (eggs, sausages, and potatoes). The food was good though.

Our stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites Boston/Waltham was outstanding in every way. The location was perfect — close to great restaurants, shopping, and convenient transportation. The hotel was quiet, clean, and very comfortable, which made it ideal for our family of four. Breakfast was a highlight! It was complimentary, but the quality exceeded expectations — the orange juice tasted like it came from a 4- or 5-star hotel, and the food selection was excellent. We also enjoyed the fresh coffee and hot chocolate every morning. The air conditioning kept our room cool and comfortable, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the entire property felt safe and well-maintained. As a family, we especially appreciated the free unlimited Wi-Fi — unlike some four-star hotels where internet isn’t included — and free parking, which made our stay even more convenient. We were so impressed that we’ve decided to choose Hampton Inn for our future travels. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and well-located place to stay near Boston.

I liked the free and plentiful parking. It was near two major freeways. The room was big and clean. The buffet breakfast has what you want. Downside--no walkable restaurants other than Costo food court. Not near any subway T stations (Alewife is 12 minutes away if there is no traffic). No microwave in room.

Room was excellent. Desk staff responsive to requests. However, by 8 am, the breakfast was scanty. One day there was no bread or rolls and the kitchen staff was no where to be found. By 8 am the dark coffee urn was empty, the milk hardly flowing. One morning the oj was empty and there was a consider wait while the staff re filled the machine. Understaffed? Or just income?
