What guests think

At Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Boston Waltham, guests repeatedly praise the modern, very clean property and generally friendly service, with many finding it convenient for driving into Boston and good value for a short stay.

Breakfast is included and widely mentioned, but opinions range from great to limited or repetitive. Rooms are modern and comfortable, yet highway-facing rooms and thin walls mean notable traffic and neighbor noise unless you secure a quieter side. A frequent gripe is the daily parking fee for the surface lot. Expect a clean stay convenient for drivers, with tradeoffs around noise and paid parking.

The room was fairly large, modern, and very clean. Parking is free onsite and check-in was easy. The indoor pool is fairly small and shallow (not suitable for swimming laps), but if you just want a quick dip it gets the job done. The onsite restaurant/bar was subpar. Servings are large but the food is expensive and not great. Rather than giving you a glass of water they bring you miniature bottled water. My wife and I each consumed three of these mini bottles with dinner. Using so many bottles instead of drinking glasses seems wasteful.

clean property. Breakfast options during weekdays could be better. Electric charging was limited due to one of the two outlets not working. Very clean swimming pool and relaxing lounge area. Easy parking and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Overall, I thought the place was nice. However, the moment I opened the fridge, the room immediately smelled like old food. Also, the coffee was machine was dirty…used it for hot water and there were dark pieces in the water…not sure exactly what it was but can guarantee I wasn’t finding out and threw it away.

When we checked in to our room the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned prior to our arrival. There was trash on the floor and the mirrors were dirty. The shower door was also not cleaned and had product residue on it. We notified the front desk and they did apologize for the inconvenience, offered to have cleaning service stop by the following day. The front desk staff was hit or miss. Depending on the time of day, some were very kind and helpful and others were not. The common areas downstairs were well kept, and breakfast had many options. On our last day there they had a pipe burst so many rooms were without running water. Overall, we would likely not stay here again having more options available in Waltham.

We called twice and they didn't realize we had a reservation. Had to call a third time. This required us to scramble a bit to try to find a room for the night, only to call again and then they found our reservation. Bathroom trash still left from last occupant. Bathroom soap also used from last occupant.

For a pretty new building it looked good however I could hear the people above me walking and jumping around, the water in the bathroom from other rooms could be heard and the water pressure in the shower was a trickle at best. Ugh not staying here again

The staff were very friendly; quick check in; secure as you have to use your room key to take the elevator. The room was so clean and comfortable. I would stay here again. The one thing I will mention is that “city view” apparently means right across from highway. The traffic did not bother me at all, but I thought I’d mention it. This is one of the best hotels I have stayed at with such an affordable rate.

Sad, dry front desk welcoming. Only a run down off fees was empathized. The suite right in front of a busy highway on a weekend, the only window in the smelly room would not open to air it out. The suites doors slammed at any time, no a/c in the hallways...What a disaster... Stressful stay.

Location

Right off I-95/Route 128, the location is convenient for driving to Boston, colleges, and the region. There’s little within easy walking distance, and highway proximity contributes to noise for some rooms.
