Homestead Boston Waltham - Waltham

Expect some inconveniences during your stay. The receptionist acted as if he'd known me for 25 years (he insisted on calling me by my first name). There's no 24/7 desk service - after 11 PM, you'll need to use your room key card to enter the building. Pray that yours will work, because mine did not. I had to call the night shift help on the house phone […] (located in the vestibule) in order to gain entry. After I was let in, the lady said that she would re-scan my card key, but alerted me that the card still may not let me enter the room (she was correct). I returned to the desk, at which time the lady informed me that she had realized her initial mistake and would once again re-scan my card, adding that if the card still did not work, she would issue me a new card (fortunately, I didn't have to go back for a second time). The room (a fully - stocked, no - smoking kitchenette with queen - sized bed) was clean enough, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was large enough (the shower curtain had 2 holes in it; however, the mirror was HUGE). The coffee maker and the free bag of coffee (more available at cost) came in very handy in the morning, and tasted better than "OK." Located next door is a Hilton Suites property that costs twice the price of the Homestead. Should you feel the need to be pampered and are willing to pay a higher price for it, stay next door; however, if all that you're looking for is a roof over your head at a good price, the Homestead Boston (Waltham) will fit your needs.

the wireless internet was terrible, it was so slow that i coudn't get any work done and had to 9 miles away to barnes and nobel to get any work done. it was a good room and semi close to where i had to go, it was a good room for what i paid.

This hotel was really bad, the service people were rude, the location of the place is horrible, if you dont have a car, you'll suffer the most, cause there is nothing within walking distance except for Dunkin donughts and a sandwich shop. the internet access was the slowest i ever had, so overall, dont go to this place unless you want to save money […] and your willing to lower your standards... a lot.

Friendly; albeit simple in amenities

I was so satisfied I want to stay in other hotels in Rochester, NY

House keeping should have clean the room everyday. When we went home at night, our room smelled like garbage coz our trash was not thrown out and our room was not clean. There were no shampoo or toothpaste either.

The hotel was okay. The room was definitely clean because it still smelled like bleach. I appreciate the fact that is was clean, but the smell was a little too strong.

all great, but the bed.. moove over one side is dumbedded in.

The service and people was fair at best. the room was just ok and had problems each day we were there. No real restaraunts near by especially where breakfast is concerned.

This was a good spot for my purposes. You need to schedule the room service, which I guess is common in extended stay facilities but not what I was familiar with. The room has a full refrigerator, and a mini kitchen, and if you are working at a few of the companies right in the complex nearby, this would be the most convenient place ever. It is easily […] accessible to the highway though, so it is very convenient. Mehr

inconvenient, hard to find location, with almost no nearby amenities although one of the best values in the greater Boston area

We chose the hotel as it was fairly close to Alewife by car, so we could leave the car and take the train into Boston for the day. Surprised to find a private kitchen facility including a full sized fridge, microwave, stove top, sink, basic cooking utensils and even a breakfast bar. Very comfortable stay.

This Hotel was a pleasant surprise. It was really close to Fenway Park, and the Restaurants around it were awesome!!!

Entry, hallways, elevator very plain and dated. Room was mediocre. Beds were not comfortable. No housekeeping unless you stay for a week.

Although conveniently located just off the highway, the cost per night does not justify staying at this hotel due to its overall rundown condition. There was a refrigerator in the room which contained two ice trays. That it is for the ice. There is no ice machine at the hotel, so use it wisely. The front desk person was very personable, although initially […] I think I was checking in with someone from maintenance. The actual clerk showed up within 5 minutes. Linens were clean, bed comfortable. I think the rugs could use a good cleaning. Mehr

need to ask front desk for shampoo, dish soap, etc, but toiletries given cheerfully. Odd that there was no mattress pad--just a sheet between me and the other patrons' possible body fluids.

Time for some updates and maybe a new cleaning crew

The hotel was way over priced for the service it provided. The lady at the front desk was rude. The room was OK.. I had to pay $5 to use the Internet! Who does that??? The bathroom wasn't as clean as it is supposed to.. for the price they took, there was no soap in the bathroom, no small shampoo or glass. I mean, it wasn't a bad experience, just a […] little improvement that can make! Mehr

Hotel was clean and the room was nice. We received an upgrade because they did not have a non-smoking room at our original selection. Management was courteous and helpful.

First - Service is outstanding... we were treated respectfully and politely. We ordered a non-smoking room. The room we got on the first floor was supposed to be a non smoking room (had the signs and everything) but smelled like a chimney... sheets, covers, towels, carpet smelled like a cigarette shop. We could not stay there. The hotel was full so […] we could not get a different room. The hotel staff was kind and professional enough to move us to the nearby extended stay (sister hotel) that was excellent. Bottom line: Quality of facility - pretty bad Service and staff: excellent... We ended up being happy I guess sometimes good people can compensate for lack of resources Thanks Mehr

La propreté est bonne, mais ils ne font pas le ménage dans la chambre pour un séjour de moins de 7 jours pour économiser les coûts. La cuisinette est pratique. L'hôtel est prêt de l'autoroute (i95) et les services de proximité (pharmacie, épicerie, liquor store) sont très près.

El hotel es muy sucio, pero las personas en recepcion fueron muy amables.
