Hotels near Stata Center, Cambridge

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

The hotel is very comfortable, clean and quiet! The blue carpet, the interior color is gentle, and the water temperature is not suitable. The little brother came to help adjust it. He told me that this is the second most comfortable hotel in Boston, and I believe it! The night shift service at the front desk is called Sam. He is very nice. He will help you with any questions. If you have a language barrier, he will find a way to use a computer to translate. Will book again next time!

The location of the hotel is near the subway station Wellington. It is a bit far from the city but it is also very convenient to take the subway. The hotel has a buffet breakfast, and the rooms are bigger and newer than those in New York. The experience is very good.

If you like this review please remember to leave me a helpful vote as Tripadvisor doesn’t pay anything for me to write useful reviews. The short version is I enjoyed my stay and it was like staying in an upscale version of an Aloft hotel. The long version starts here: I came up and stayed for 5 days for Tufts graduation weekend in May 2022. Staff was friendly upon check-in. I tried to do check-in via the Marriott App and was successful to an extent. While I was able to use the App to open my room door, you need an actual room key from the front desk to use the elevators, gym and pool area. So just using the Marriott App was unsuccessful and abandoned. I was assigned a room on the 4th floor. The room is self is modern in appearance and was very clean upon arrival. There was a small fridge along with coffee and tea maker available. There wasn’t a lot of drawer cabinet space available (2 drawers) but there were a sufficient amount of surface area, plus the room had a 2nd bed that I wasn’t using that I could just put my clothes on. In addition to power outlets there are USB ports available both by the desk and in between the beds where you can recharge your devices. Coffee, tea and water were free and always available by the front desk. The Wifi at the hotel was complimentary and had good download and upload speed. There were also 2 complementary iMacs in the lobby to use. Parking at the hotel is $25 a night, the breakfast buffet was an additional $20, and there is no daily house keeping service. That being said, there are small signs hat you can leave on your door if you need additional towels or just stop by the front desk to get additional anything for the room. Just for informational purposes, across the street is the Alewife Reservation DCR parking with 8-10 parking spaces where you can park for free for 2 hours when exploring the Alewife Reservation “AREA”. About a 9 minute walk from the hotel is the Alewife T Station where overnight parking is $9 M-F and $3 overnight on the Weekends. The room will be serviced by housekeeping on the 4th day of your stay. As I mentioned, my plan had me there for 5 days. While the room was serviced on the 4th day of my stay. I think it would have been more efficient for housekeep to service the room at the midpoint go my stay (day 3) rather then the day before my departure (day 4). I also mentioned that the breakfast buffet was an additional $20. That being said, they sometime offer a complementary breakfast buffet in the restaurant. I’d guess your chances are 1 in 30 maybe. There would be a sign outside the restaurant if that is the case. It happened to be on my 2nd day there, and I thought the breakfast at the hotel was very good (while yes it was also free that day). There were freshly baked goods as well as 2 different types of baked omelets, cereal, eggs, yogurts, and various beverages. While there is nothing “shopping wise” in this area, I also brought my bicycle with me. Specifically it’s a Cann

Our welcome was painless and friendly. There's an option for outdoor or underground garage parking - we parked in the garage and always found a spot by the elevator. Very safe! Complimentary breakfast was busy but easy and decent. I appreciate the hotel allowing me to receive a rate as a state employee. Employees at the front desk and breakfast service provided excellent service. The only downside was one of two elevators out of service, but this was a minor inconvenience and did not dampen our experience.

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.

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.

I enjoyed my stay at the Westin Waltham. Clean, charming hotel with great ambiance and service. The staff were so very helpful, and ready to go above and beyond with any requests I had. They honor your status with Bonvoy, and I got a beautiful suite upgrade. Thank you!

I would say the only thing positive about this location is the rooms. They are super clean and updated. As well as the night time manager is super accommodating. As far as the other employees they could care less. Night time manager even charged me half the deposit because I frequent here. The elevator is beat up and dated. The carpets in some hallways haven't been deep cleaned since the 1800s. Mostly all the soda and snack machines steal your money. The pool is surprisingly decent. I have only ever taken a swim once. The best thing is they allow animals for free. My little guy loves the night manager because he gives him treats constantly. This hotel has some super potential. Because you can hop on 93 and be in Boston with no traffic in 15 mins. Right next to market basket and some shopping/restaurants. If they renovated. Cleaned up and hired some more staff that care like the night shift manager, this place would be sold out every day without a doubt. Definitely room for improvement no doubt about that. But it is well worth the price. The rooms and beds are EXTREMELY nice. Just a drive away from Boston. Highly recommend solely off the rooms and beds in the room!

The hotel was decent. It is no 5 star hotel but our room was clean, everything worked as it should and the staff was super friendly. Check in and check out were quick and easy. We didn't spend much time in the hotel as we were in Salem most of our stay. The price was great for a place to sleep after a long day out touring. It's only about 20-30 mins from Salem which isn't bad if you want to save some money on a hotel. I know there are several bad reviews especially since most of the amenities listed are not actually available but if you just call ahead they are happy to let you know what is actually available while they work on getting certified to reopen a lot of what they offered after MA lifted all the restrictions.
