Lobby, taken from computers.
Bryan N.

I stayed here for a weekend and I really have nothing but nice things to say. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. The location was convenient for commute from/to the airport. The computers in the lobby were a bit out of date and slow. Getting into my gmail was a trick. But the free breakfast was good and changed up a little day to day. I would definitely recommend and stay here again myself.

Great place to stay for business. I really enjoyed the size of the room and the L shaped couch. I travel quite a bit so it was nice to be in a newly modeled, spacious, and modern space for a bit. The bed was very comfortable and the space was perfect for a long visit. I don't usually get breakfast or say much after check-in, so I can't comment on those amenities. However staff was very friendly and everyone was very accommodating. The hotel itself is very close to the Needham downtown area and is about 30 minutes from Boston. I liked the location because I enjoy being out of the hustle and bustle, and parking is free. It is next to a smaller outdoor mall area and there is a really great sandwich shop close by (Mighty Subs).There is also a Trader Joe's and grocery area/bagel shop about 10 mins away so there are options. I will defiantly be back!

Everything is clean and updated . Right next to Trip Advisor and Coca-Cola plant .The layout is really comfortable . And everything is new and updated . The parking is covered and right next to the property . The lobby is open and inviting .Everything is nice but they don't serve beer or wine In their mix every other residence inn I have stayed in did) so it was a small let down but they do have a bar and restaurant on property so that kindda makes up for it . ...And the guys at the bar are really good and take very nice care of u and your drink . Second stay : we were greeted by a smiling face ... And she helped us find out if the kitchen was open .They only had few minutes remaining but they took care of us very nicely

Nice new hotel yet it won't be possible for me to stay here again due to the noise level coming from the Coca-Cola distribution plant next door. (Who builds a hotel next to a trucking facility?) As I write this at 6 am EST I've been awake for 3 hours due to noise of truck beeps backing up, trucks being loaded for hours prior to getting on the road- a complete lack of sleep during key hours of the night. I stay at Marriott's constantly, this hotel doesn't work for business travel, will have to choose another hotel next time. The least staff can do is put unsuspecting Marriott Rewards members in odd numbered rooms if possible to avoid the noise.

TUES- early morning the bathroom was freshly mopped. WED- the paper dispenser is out of battery and does not work. Guest room hallways are bright and clean. Outside perimeter  There is a basketball rim outside by the back of the building.   The court is padlocked, I assume you need to get the key from the front desk. Parking lot is relatively clean.  No noticeable excessive trash in the shrubbery.    The parking stall lines are faded and need to be repainted. Staff Front Desk  All FD Staff responsive to guests questions. FD Staff did initiate greetings to guests. Housekeeping Staff  No greetings when encountered in hallways. Food Service Staff I did not see any of the breakfast staff greet any guest.  Guests had to make the initial contact. Monday- staff did not have any forks out.   They had to search and gather together enough silverware...not plastic forks.  Still stocking and prepping food area at 645AM. So it looks like the food staff only wipes down tables towards the end of the breakfast service instead of in-between guests or periodically. Shuttle Driver  N/A but there is a van Room 311 Very clean and bright. Did not find any dust on obvious surface. Kitchen is well stocked, however there was a glass missing from the cabinet, it was inside the dishwasher. What is missing is the serving tray that the ice bucket normally sits on. Food  2 waffle makers, hard boiled (shelled) eggs, oatmeal and apples are standard daily fare. SUN- scrambled eggs, sausage patty, country potatoes, carnitas MON-  scrambled eggs, potato pancake (latkes), maple sausage and pork chorizo TUE- scrambled eggs, Yukon Gold Potatoes, chicken carnitas, Canadian bacon WED- scrambled eggs, sausage patty, red skin potatoes, carnitas THUR- scrambled eggs, potato pancake (latkes), maple sausage and chicken chorizo Gym/Pool The Fitness Center and Pool are located across from each other and require separate unlocking to access.

Update (2025): I…read morefirst stayed at Crescent Suites years ago while visiting my sister at Brandeis University, and honestly, I didn't fully appreciate how good this place was until I revisited my notes. Now that I've had more travel experience, I can confidently say this hotel is a hidden gem in Waltham. The apartment-style rooms are fantastic--spacious, clean, and equipped with full kitchens, comfy seating areas, and all the essentials. It's more like staying in a cozy apartment than a standard hotel, which makes solo trips, family visits, or longer stays feel effortless. The service is genuinely warm and welcoming, and the breakfast is a standout--custom-made eggs cooked to order and expertly crafted coffee that beats any run-of-the-mill hotel fare. The location is great too--close enough to Brandeis University for visiting students, but also easy to explore Waltham's Moody Street for restaurants, cafés, and a little local charm. The area felt safe and walkable, and for outdoor enthusiasts, you can hop on nearby trails along the Charles River or Mass Central Rail Trail for some scenic exercise. Bottom line: Whether you're visiting Waltham for school, family, or just a weekend getaway, Crescent Suites hits all the marks. If I ever find myself back in the area, I won't think twice about staying here again.

Some…read morekind of membership or college affiliation is required in order to stay here or host meetings in the space, and I'm not sure of the cost. But i am sure that this was a truly beautiful facility! The brutalist mid-century architecture was stunning, and I found a few buildings with a similar style across the beautiful campus. Half of the rooms had lake views, and all rooms had views of the beautiful fall foliage. The Club was right on the path through campus and around the lake, which took about an hour to walk [briskly] around. The rooms themselves retained their original mid-century charm, including a brick interior wall, a built-in wood shelving/closet feature, period accurate furniture (I'm a bit of a mid century design snob), and some original 50s/60s style bathroom tile. The room had plenty of space and a comfortable king sized bed, although many of the people I was with mentioned having small, twin sized beds in their rooms. The meeting facilities were also beautiful, with incredible views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. There were multiple room options of varying sizes, in addition to numerous service packages, from beer/wine, to buffet, to snacks and drinks. We had several meals in the Club, all of which were excellent. The New England fare included clams, mussels, and clam chowder, which I particularly enjoyed. Even the lunch sandwich buffets were excellent. I found breakfast to be a bit lacking, but I'm not a big hot breakfast person anyways, so just a bagel was sufficient for me. Staff in the Club were beyond friendly and professional. I truly felt like I was staying in a 5* resort due to the staff's hospitality. I can't say anything about value for the cost because I'm not sure how much the space costs to rent or stay overnight, but rest assured you will get a beautiful space with top-notch service when using the facilities at this Club.

I got this hotel because I was going to see a concert close by and I'm glad I found this hotel. Upon entering a beautiful and nice welcome by Roger, who was funny, had all the best recommendations and broke all the details down about the hotel. The entrance area (waiting area) was so cozy and beautiful. They had an assortment of fashionable chairs, a beautiful fireplace and this place was so colorful which I enjoyed, very brought. The breakfast was delicious a good assortment of everything. And a huge area to eat downstairs or go up to your room and enjoy. Now when you head up there's so much artwork everywhere, I love this. The room was so cozy and big, the bathroom was HUGE! I got a suite, so it had a kitchen, a room with a pull out couch and a pretty nice sized bedroom and a huge bathroom like I said. Upon entering we had a street view which I enjoyed and realized this place was so well put together. The vibes were just perfect. The bed was super comfy. I literally had no complaints at all. I've never stayed at a hotel in MA that has shopping plazas and markets right near by, walking distance this is so convenient. I would for SURE stay here again. The employees all were very kind, didn't matter what shift they all were attentive and kind. Great job, I loved it.

I will happily hand my money, and more of it, over to a Hilton.

The biggest discontent came learning upon check-in that there is a parking charge. I don't recall seeing that on the website or in the correspondence sent to me, but I am not saying it wasn't there, somewhere, at some type size. I didn't think a hotel this distance from central Boston would charge for parking. That added $20 plus tax each night to the bill. There are no microwaves in the rooms. That is something that chains of lower status that Marriott make standard (IHG, BW). There was a microwave for public use--that's right--*1* for a hotel this size (BIG). At least there was only 1 I was aware of, there may have been 1 or more others somewhere else, but they were scarce if there were any beyond that 1. I will say I didn't need to wait any time I used it; I just had to go up and down the elevator 3 flights. I used it 3 times I tried to use the computers in the business office and neither of the 2 they had worked. Someone told me they had been that way for at least 3 hours, since he had first tried to use them. I told various staff about it but the best I got for a response was that was something that "happened sometimes". Someone there might want to check to see if the problems have yet been resolved. This hotel is more economical than staying at a similar hotel downtown, and there is a nearby commuter train station (non-accessible). Getting hotels near these stations can be good money savers for big city visits, but there tend to not be many too close to the stations. The location on the Charles River is superlative, and a lot of the hotel property can be strolled along the shore. There is an adjacent historic park that is directly connected to the hotel that is also along the river. You get great river views from the restaurant too.
