Extended Stay America Suites - Boston - Waltham - 52 4th Ave.

I would never stay at...

Liked: It was close to the event we were going to.
Disliked: Pretty much everything. It was filthy. The bed was uncomfortable. The free breakfast was prepackaged pastry and instant oatmeal.

Never come back to ESA

Disliked: The location was good and the price was better than the hotels in Boston Center. But if you have some other choice, I just suggest do not risk yourself here. We were given a room with very heavy curry smell which definitely were not ventilated before we arrive. Or it was used as a staff kitchen. The floor was sticky with some little waste like Date pit. We opened the window and the Exhaust fan. It did not work at all. Finally we had to ask for a change and were given two single rooms. One of them also had some food smell, but we were told it was the last choice. They look do not care about guests at all. It is a kitchen equipped hotel but you will find the pots, frying pan or any other Kitchenware, although a cook top available. You may use the microwave oven. I give 5 just because I do not want to be bothered by the hotel administration to delete this review. No photos just do not want those stuff taking up space on my phone. Definitely will avoid all Extended Stay America Hotel Chains in the future.

Pleasant

Liked: Did not realize that breakfast was just muffins and coffee!
Disliked: No breakfast-fruit, bagels, yogurt, juice.

Superb

Liked: Everything was clean and comfortable

Pleasant

Liked: Location, value
Disliked: - The “grab and go breakfast” isn’t worth mentioning or advertising. - The property allowed dogs and that was fine but the one in the room across the hall cried and whined all night. The owner/occupant was either not there or very inconsiderate or both. There’s no way hotel staff didn’t hear it, so I’ll assume they just allowed it.

The condition of the hotel...

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: It was filthy. The bedsheets had obviously not been changed from the previous customer. The sheets had stains,crumbs and toilet paper when I pulled back the covers to get into bed. I had to go ask for clean sheets.

Bad

Best deal in Newton-Waltham.

Liked: Should be rated higher than is in "booking." Problem with the odors of cooking in rooms, but, if you close the door to bathroom and open window a crack, there is little problem. We have stayed at 7 Air BnBs in Newton area and for the price, this beats the all.
Disliked: Odors from cooking, which can be ameliorated.

Very good
