Top 10 Walden Pond Hotels

My husband and I were politely welcomed to the hotel. The parking lot was well-lit and easy to find using a GPS. We were acknowledged for being Marriot Bonvoy members, and the entire hotel was spotless and well cared for. Our suite was clean, and we were pleased about the space and could have a full breakfast in the morning. Everyone was a delight, and we look forward to returning.

Arrived after 1am due to late flight arrival and needless to say-we were exhausted. Mourice checked us in with amazing hospitality, a great attitude and a easy and quick checkin process. The room was clean and fresh with the heavenly beds. Fantastic stay

Stayed here for one night after a day of travel into Logan Airport. This hotel is conveniently located near the highway and has a mall and dining options nearby as well. I was promptly greeted and checked in. The hotel is in the midst of a renovation but the room I was assigned had been renovated. The room smelled of stale cigarettes, probably had been a smoking room at one point in its life. I had a small issue with the room that when I brought to the front desks attention it was promptly corrected while I was out. The bed was comfortable and the shower had nice pressure and temperature. All of the staff members I came in contact with were pleasant and friendly.

stayed here labor day weekend with my family for a trip to fenway park for a red sox game. Arrived late at night and it was a lot of turns to get there off the freeway. if you want good freeway access, this might not be the best option. Checkin was quick. Room was a little small for we thought we were getting but was fine. We loved the bath products but there was no lotion in the room and we had to ask for more towels. Pillows were pretty thin. Breakfast was pretty small. eggs, sausage and potatoes for hot food and basically cereal and danish for cold options. it was adequate but nothing special compared to others. One of the bif reasons we booked here was the parking fee was much cheaper than other hotels. The drive downtown was 15-20 minutes. We would stay here again when in Boston.

Best Residence Inn I’ve visited. Sparkling clean, modern, even luxurious. Staff very friendly and responsive. Fitness center is also spacious, good accessories like weighted med balls, foam rollers, mats, etc. to complement your workout. Not walking distance to central Concord (unless you REALLY like walking), but a very short drive. Location is quiet, not much traffic noise. And finally: it SMELLS terrific. Not just “new hotel” but a nice welcoming subtle vanilla-ish scent. The little things: great hair dryer, USB ports everywhere, a small working or eating table that can be pulled up to the couch (which includes a chaise longue) to hold your drinks or laptop. Fluffy towel index: 3.5 out of 5.

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

The hotel is near the highway, the transportation is very convenient, the breakfast is simple but not bad, the room is comfortable, there is a kitchen counter, equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, tableware, etc., can be simple cooking. But there is no view when walking out, there are roads on all sides, and there is no market town.

Parking is very convenient and there are plenty of parking spaces.

I would be remiss if I didn't send a note to say THANK YOU for the hospitality I received while staying at the Homewood Suites Boston/Cambridge-Arlington, MA. This was my longest work trip since before the Pandemic and although it was all work and no play the Assistant Hotel and Guest Services Manager, Luis, and ALL of the front desk agents; Angel and Brandon in engineering; housekeeping; and the kitchen staff were SO pleasant and accommodating to make me feel at home I had to send a note expressing my appreciation. The cleanliness of the property, hallway greetings and smiles from staff, etc., confirmed I made the right choice in choosing the Homewood Suites Boston/Cambridge-Arlington, MA for this extended work stay. Having been a former employee of the Hilton chain while in college, it is Awesome to see the Excellence of the Hilton brand I loved working for continues to live up to the quality of the Hilton standards. Again, thank you and I look forward to visiting this location again for vacation.
