Their response time average was 2-4 days as well, so don't expect super speedy replies. We drove through traffic & still showed up right on time to the office area of the house, only to find it deserted! After waiting 15 minutes and calling the only phone number I had for Erin, we had to leave because it was the middle of rush hour. Still no email or voicemail explanation several hours later. Up close, the exterior of the estate itself is a bit dirty, and very open to the public; people were walking their dogs everywhere on the property. This was an unfortunate experience, odd behavior for such a popular venue.

My wife and I traveled all the way from California for our honeymoon and our first World Cup…read moreexperience, and unfortunately our stay at the Hilton Dedham has become one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I have ever had. When I made my reservation, I specifically booked and paid for a King Bed room because this was our honeymoon. Earlier on the day of arrival, I contacted the hotel through the Hilton app and also called to confirm that we needed the King Bed that we had reserved. Despite those confirmations, when we arrived late at night, just before 11 PM after a long day of travel, we were informed that there were no King Bed rooms available. The explanation given was that the hotel had an unexpected number of guests because of the World Cup. Frankly, I found this difficult to understand. The World Cup is one of the largest sporting events in the world, and Hilton Dedham is one of the closest Hilton properties serving fans attending these events. How was there no planning for such a major event? More importantly, why was the room type that I specifically reserved and confirmed not held for us? Instead of the King Bed room we paid for, we were offered a room with two separate beds on our honeymoon. We explained the situation and how important this was to us, but the front desk staff told us there was no manager available and that our options were either to accept the room, cancel the reservation, or find another hotel. After traveling across the country and arriving late at night, being told to "go somewhere else" was shocking and completely inconsistent with the level of service I expect from Hilton. After waiting approximately 30 minutes, we finally accepted the room because we were exhausted. Unfortunately, the problems did not stop there. Once we entered the room and started unpacking, we discovered that the air conditioning was not working properly. After nearly ten hours of travel and dealing with jet lag, the last thing we wanted was another issue. We had to gather our belongings again, return to the front desk, and explain the problem. The staff eventually found another room, but it was on the opposite side of the hotel, requiring us to move all of our luggage once again. By this point, we were physically exhausted, frustrated, and deeply disappointed. What was supposed to be the first night of our honeymoon had turned into a stressful series of problems. The second room had working air conditioning, but the unit was so loud that neither of us could sleep. Every time it ran, it produced excessive noise, making it nearly impossible to rest. We ended up awake until around 3:00 AM. To make matters worse, we also discovered that the sink in the room was cracked, raising even more concerns about the overall condition and maintenance of the property. What makes this even more frustrating is that this happened just last night, and we still have two more nights remaining in our stay. As of the time of writing this review, nobody from hotel management has reached out to us, offered an upgrade, attempted to move us into the King Bed room that we originally reserved, or provided any meaningful resolution. The issue is still ongoing. The most disappointing part of this experience is that none of these issues should have happened. The room type we reserved was not honored despite confirmation. We were initially assigned a room with a malfunctioning air conditioner. We had to move rooms in the middle of the night. The replacement room had a noisy HVAC system and a damaged sink. And throughout all of this, no meaningful solution, accommodation, or compensation has been offered. This trip was supposed to be a special honeymoon memory for my wife and me. Instead, our first night was filled with frustration, exhaustion, and disappointment. We chose Hilton because of its reputation and paid a premium rate expecting quality accommodations and reliable service. Unfortunately, this stay has fallen far below those expectations. I hope Hilton management reviews this experience seriously and contacts us as soon as possible while we are still guests at the property. At a minimum, I believe some form of compensation or reimbursement is warranted given the number of service failures we have experienced. Most importantly, I hope future guests do not have to go through what we did on what should have been one of the happiest occasions of our lives. Management may contact me directly for additional details regarding this stay: Email: mohammadalbdrany@gmail.com

Lack luster check in by a robotic employee who was not aware of how important empathy is in the hotel space when things don't go as planned. 2. Mice or rats.

I went back to my room only to discover the ac didn't work in the room with the rodent so o switched to another room with broken ac. 3. Upon going to my new room, the key didn't work. Made way back down and rekeyed. Went back up to discover the door handles are reversed and you must pull up vs push down on lever. Makes no sense. 4. Ac was indeed broken and uncomfortable to say the least. 5. Sink was stopped up 6 At check out I discovered others had rodents in their room too as well as dirty rooms. 7. No manager on duty at 8am and front desk person said he would give me points but nothing has been deposited. 8. Lastly and the one that will make you cringe! My colleague found a dead rodent in the bed. Disgusting! Totally unacceptable for a Hilton property and based on other reviews the rodent problem is not being addressed. I can't believe the experience and hope no one else experiences it.

We were 6 people, bill was around 380..with the tax, tip & recommended 4% for the kitchen staff, another 80 in fees, which kills me after traveling through Europe fairly often. So 440 total. Way to much for one drink each for 5 of us, no drink for the 6th, no bottle of wine, split 1 app 7 olives, no coffee, 2 desserts. Way too pricey. When did 34-38 dollar entrees become the norm ? I would never return for one reason..that 4% tip for the kitchen. Pay your back of the house staff from those $$$$ entrees. Perhaps another idea is to take a % off each $15+ cocktail and pay their kitchen staff with it. I have not seen this done in years..absolutely no where. During the height of Covid, yes. But it faded away rather quickly and left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Also, I'd recommend lighter plates, those poor ladies hauling in those large & heavy dishes is not a good look.

The place wasn't too busy on Labor day, about 20 kids and families. Have seen it a lot more crowded and chaotic with multiple birthday parties. Front desk staff is nice and efficient, was able to quickly get you checked in, paid, and into the venue. Plus is they dont require their own branded socks as many other places do so that helps your pocket and the environment. A bunch of claw machines at the front. Theyre rigged against you as always, spent $20 and didnt win a single animal. No pity either from the staff. The venue itself is relatively kept up and clean, though you can tell some areas have been destroyed by kids (e.g. any of the self-play areas with plastic toys). The slides and ball pit is fun, but lack of staff oversight can make it dangerous (kids running up slides, or pushing other kids around). Lots of cool tech activities to do, moreso the other places I've seen. Some of them dont work too well though (e.g. the jumping game senses adults, not little kids). Worth a trip or two in the area, and probably a gold standard for Boston, but other cities has this beat by far.
