Crescent Suites Hotel - Waltham

Great location. Backs up to the Charles River with a nice path behind the hotel. Very pleasant staff, clean rooms. Above par breakfast which is a nice plus.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The rooms are spacious, the staff attentive, the hotel very clean and the breakfast first rate. The location is very convenient to Brandeis University. Not clear whether there are restaurants within easy walking disctance. They had a number to call for late night service, but no 24-hour desk coverage.

Staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and answered all our questions efficiently. The breakfast was delicious, the room comfortable and clean. Being there at Christmas-time we found the decorations and the beautiful Christmas tree gave it a homey touch. We have stayed in more expensive hotels in the area and their service has nothing on Crescent Su […] ites. Read more

hotel was terrific. coming in sight unseen you never know what to expect. The Crescent exceeded all expectations.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was obviously renovated and so clean!! Loved my room. I was in Waltham for business so I was able to get a lot of work done with free wi-fi and printing access. I didn't really venture into the neighborhood so I don't know if there were many things to do in the area.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Although the suburban location was a little curious at first, I was completely put at ease once I checked in. The owner of the hotel wants you to feel like this is a home away from home, and I absolutely felt that. The staff is friendly and considerate (what other hotel do you get offered a coffee or cappuccino when you check in?) The room looks like […] an apartment with a full kitchen (pots and pans, utensils, etc) and not one, but two flat screen TVs. The only comment I can make is that when I woke up, it was to the smell of cooking breakfast. While this was initially pleasing, it grew a little irritating after a few hours of having to smell it. The real enjoyment of my stay was in the details; breakfast made fresh (and different!) every morning, the little added amenities in the room, the care of the staff. I have stayed at many hotels in the area, and I can honestly say, this is the first one I would consider going back to. Read more

Cutie hotel. Remind me a little hotel from Europe, France or Italy. Very clean, great people and service, excellent room for the price. For an event at my son’s college, I could not make a better choice. We stayed at the Crescent hotel twice and will always stay there when visiting my son at college.

We were only here for 2 nights while moving our daughter into college nearby. Everything about this hotel was fantastic! The suite was beautiful; very well appointed, full kitchen, beautiful bedroom, very comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer. Full breakfast included, which was delicious. Michael, the owner, recommended several restaurants […] nearby, which we tried and they were both incredible, just as he described. Very close to Boston; such a convenient location. We loved it and will definitely be back! Read more

Absolutely one of the best. The owner and staff could not have been more accommodating. Suite was equipped with everything you would ever need. The room was beautifully decorated and immaculate.

I have never written a review in expedia, but decided to write one for this hotel. The hotel is newly renovated, clean, and well maintained. The room is very homey with refrigerator, microwave, stove, dish washer etc. There is free parking, a small garden and a play set for small children. The free breakfast has a lot of varieties with two people taking […] care of the dining areas. Wifi is free. But the best is their service. I left a message a week ago to ask the hotel to make up the sofa bed before our arrival. It was done beautifully. They also offered free bottle water upon our arrival. Definitely we will stay in the hotel again and recommend other people to do so. Read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. We were offered beverages even though we were a little early to check in. We really appreciated the free parking so we could leave our car in the lot and take the train to Boston for sightseeing. The train station was almost a mile from the hotel, but the walk along the river was pleasant. The separate bedroom was clean […] and comfy, with a big bathroom. We didn't really need it, but the kitchenette would come in handy for a longer stay. The free breakfast in the morning was above and beyond the normal fare, with potatoes, bacon or sausages and scrambled eggs with veggies and cheese. Coffee in china cups with real cream was truly appreciated. If we ever get to Boston again, we would stay here. Read more

I stayed at the Crescent Suites for one night on a business trip based on other Expedia reviews. The hotel was quite a pleasant surprise, in a nice location close to the Charles River and close to restaurants and other amenities. Very good value for the money without sacrificing anything.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The main problems were the door lock deadbolt was out of whack, as was the bathroom door closure. Also there was no kitchen vent in their full kitchen.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We did not know what to expect and were positively impressed by the high standard of the hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is very nice and the King suite was clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The management was friendly and they make many of their breakfast selections from scratch (not the typical commercially-produced buffet items that many places offer in their buffets). I was attending a conference at Boston college and on the map this looked […] like a convenient location. It was closer than many hotels I looked at for similar prices but it still required a taxi ride to get there. (I think there was a bus line, but I didn't explore that.) The immediate surroundings aren't great, but I felt safe. I'd recommend this hotel. Read more

Convenient to Brandeis and Bentley University. Quality hotel. Clean, comfortable room, kind staff. Room included king bed, full kitchen, and spacious bathroom.

Just stayed three nights at Crescent Suites in Unit 12 for 4-day business class in Cambridge. My room was clean, comfortable and well-appointed. Everything you might need was provided. Upon arrival, I enjoyed an excellent cappucino prepared by Tim and he gladly provided directions to a local grocery store and excellent restaurant recommendation. It […] was only 30 minutes to Cambridge in rush hour traffic with 1/2 of that time spent on the exit ramp. When I could not obtain Dish on one TV in my unit, Tim immediately came down to fix it and explain what caused the problem. Similar to staying in a timeshare or small B&B - will stay here again if in Boston. For business travelers, if you have early appointments, you may not be able to enjoy the included free breakfast since service begins at 7 a.m. If the cook is there earlier, Tim said they would readily prepare food for you. Crescent Suites lived up to its ratings/reviews. I highly recommend it as an affordable, comfortable alternative close to Boston. Read more

I cannot rave about this hotel experience enough! It was a fantastic hotel with great staff!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Pros: The hotel is quite lovely, the staff friendly and accommodating. There is a full breakfast, with eggs, fruit, cereal, bread, waffles, lattes, etc. Convenient to nice restaurants in the area. Safe neighborhood. Cons: Sounds from next room coming through the connecting door.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Wonderful staff. Better than most high end Hotels, as staff seemed to truly care. It was like everyone was an owner, and cared about us. Very relaxed environment. Rooms were clean, large and quality. Walls were a bit thin. Window covers did not block out morning sun, so it was harder to sleep after sun up. Even so, highly likely we will stay at […] this facility again. Read more

You advertised this hotel as a 2bedroom suite.They don't have that, only one bedroom suites.

Only one treadmill - and don't use it before 9am - not ideal for anyone on business.

We came to Boston area to move my daughter into Boston College. Found Crescent Suites in Waltham which was about 15 min drive from Waltham to Newton. It was very reasonably priced. Room has separate bedroom with King plus living room with queen sofa for our 12 yo. It also had full kitchen which was spotless on our check in. Owner onsite much of time […] and he was friendly and helpful. Wonderful hot breakfast included each morning. Free parking. Main drawback not close to MBTA subway line into downtown. Read more

Yep, clean, friendly owners & staff, delicious breakfasts. Inside the hotel-- it's all good. Perfect, even. Loved it. Good location in that it's easy walking distance to Waltham's main drag, Moody Street. However, the main part of the commercial area is at the southern end of Moody St., the Main St. end. The hotel is two blocks off of the northern end […] of Moody. The residential area that lies between the hotel and Moody is nice, but at night there were a couple of unsavory characters around. I would not walk around by myself at night. Read more

Great great great little hotel. Nice breakfast, free Wi-Fi, parking, and the Charles River in the back yard. The kitchen was as nice as mine at home, with a full fridge unlike some discount suites that just have a mini one. The owner and all of the workers were very helpful and friendly. I can't recommend this place enough!

This hotel is nestled within a nice neighborhood, but still only a 5-10 minute walk to a wide range of restaurants. It's a family business (either the father or son was manning the front desk during our stay). The rooms are huge and clean (most of the materials seem brand new!). And the service is wonderful! I had to attend a conference 2 miles away, […] and the owner even dropped me off so I didn't need to call a cab! I would highly recommend this hotel! Read more

What a discovery, beautiful brandnew family owned hotel. Free parking next to building, owner makes fantastic coffee and cappuncino, free as a service for guests.

I stayed at this hotel before the Boston marathon with my boyfriend. I booked late and missed out on the ones in the city near public transportation, so I randomly chose this one because I wanted a kitchen to cook my own pre-race dinner and the price was reasonable. The place ended up being fantastic and a pleasant surprise. The desk clerk offered us […] water when we checked in and helped us track down a Subway for lunch. They even provided me with a big trash bag which came in very handy while waiting in the cold wind before the start of the race. The room was great and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook some great pasta. As for travel to the shuttle buses in the morning, we left a little before 6am and had almost no traffic and had no problems getting right up close to the Common. He dropped me off by 6:20 and I was in line for the bus plenty early. I highly recommend this option if you have someone who can drop you off in the morning! Read more

My conventional inlaws wanted us to stay at a well known name hotel near Watertown. We persisted due to the good reviews and stayed at the Crescent (during one of the worst snow storms of 2011). We were completely happy and insisted that the family come up to see the room. The rooms are a good size, new and the complete kitchen and bath were well appointed. […] The room was so comfortable even in the cold temps. The owner and staff were very attentive and the breakfast each morning was better than the usual hotel free offerings. The area of town is mixed business and residence. We will definitly stay again when we visit family. Read more

What a gem! What a find! Tucked (quirkily) into a residential area of Waltham, this was the perfect place to stay during a recent business trip. Highly recommended for anyone needing accommodations west of Boston proper, but convenient enough for Boston tourists (if you have a car). I stayed in a suite of rooms with a window facing the Charles river […] out back for a lovely view. A full kitchen was a real convenience. Morning espresso and cappucino served in the common dining room was a thoughtful touch. Charming, clean, modern with a friendly staff. A definite upgrade from similarly priced, charm-free chain hotels along Route 128. Read more

This hotel is located in an older, charming part of Waltham along a river accessible by path. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this hotel because of its cleanliness, spacious and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, quaint location, and decent breakfast. They even offered a good cappacino at breakfast - only downside was that the breakfast area was a bit […] tight. Overall, the hotel captures the better parts of a European hotel while also incorporating the comfortable beds and spaciousness that are standard in better hotels in the US. Read more

This quiet suite-hotel is everything the business traveler might want (or vacationer) -- quiet, clean, friendly, spacious and well-appointed. The staff could not have been nicer (in fact, when I asked for walking directions to Brandeis (a mile away) the owner offered to give me a lift, which he did -- door to door. I felt very safe and well looked-after. […] I recommended it widely and I hope it gets all the business it deserves. A welcome change from chain hotels! Read more
