We stayed there while visiting for a doctors consult at Boston Childrens at Waltham. The staff were friendly and helpful. Nice little breakfast available and clean room. What more can you ask for and at a wonderful price!? Free internet and good cable channels. We were grateful to have stayed there during a stressful time in our lives.

We had a friendly welcome and an adequate clean room with typical amenities. Breakfast was the usual but there were sufficient tables and food. The breakfast crew was polite and friendly. Nothing special but no complaints either. In other words, OK.

The room was sort of tight but I loved the window area of my 6th floor room. My doggie was able to jump from the ottoman to the window sill to sunbathe easily. I was on business and it was very useful to have an in-room microwave and mini fridge. The receptionist Charli Rose offered excellent customer service and Maria... More

Stayed here in order to visit Brandeis University. Front desk staff was welcoming; our room was very nice; free breakfast was pretty standard but fine; a bit tight on space. Location is in suburban highway/hotel zone convenient to Rte. 128/95 and downtown Waltham. Not wildly memorable, but that also means nothing was irksome or problematic!

Driving up to the hotel, it was obvious this place has some stiff competition. I didn't have a problem with the way this Holiday Inn paled by comparison to its neighbors because the price was right. However, when the receptionist, Grace, appeared to offer second class service because we were not business travelers, that did bother me. She was gruff... More

Good hotel and great price. The breakfast was PACKED! I don't know where all the people came from. None the less, most food was well stocked and the staff was working! Great check in, very Quick and polite. Standard room and very clean. Not much, if anything, around the hotel if you don't have a car. But safe area and... More

I decided to try a hotel in Waltham for my visit to the Cambridge area. Hotels in Cambridge and Boston are much more expensive. This Holiday Inn express is much like all others which is a good thing. We were greeted by reception and they had noted and planned for our request for a quiet room. Unfortunately, there were a... More

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, our hotel stay was just wonderful. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was great. I will be staying here next year again when we travel to Boston to watch our son wrestle again. It was a great hotel, so if... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Waltham in February following a large snow storm and then experienced a snowfall while there. We felt safe and comfortable and were able easily to call out for delivery for food one night. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful; we especially want to thank Charli for her warm hospitality. The hotel... More

Stayed for business so location was perfect, but if you're here for the city (and don't have a car) you'll be a bit stuck. Staff were really friendly and helpful, room and bathroom both clean, big flat screen tv, good coffee machine in room, and heating that you can change. Breakfast room is functional, and included breakfast buffet is basic... More
