Hotel Best Western Plus Waltham Boston (Waltham, USA)

Surely, the sign of a good onsite restaurant is when passing visitors and locals stop to eat there, as well as hotel guests, and the Copper House Tavern, attached to the hotel, certainly draws a crowd. Whether you eat there or just nip down for an evening drink, guests say that both the food and the atmosphere is satisfying.

Comfortable bed? Check. Clean room? Check. Space to spread out, a balcony to enjoy some fresh air, home comforts included - check, check, and check. According to guests, the rooms tick all the boxes for comfort and a good night's sleep, so you can just turn up and relax.

If you're in the area for a meeting at one of the nearby corporate headquarters in Technology Square, you could hardly find a more convenient location. But perhaps you're just looking for a decent place to stay close to downtown Boston and the universities - and it's well-located for that too.

Guests say that, unlike some other hotels in the area, Best Western TLC doesn't offer a shuttle service to the train station, so if you're planning to get around the Boston area by public transport, it can be a bit difficult, and you may have to rely on taxis for at least the first leg of the journey.

While the bedrooms are fairly spacious, guests say that the en suite bathrooms are a bit of a squeeze, with limited room for movement. In some of the bathrooms, the toilet is wedged between the shower and sink, which can make things quite awkward.

Overall, guests seem to think that this is a perfectly decent, mid-range hotel - the problem is, they don't feel that the price reflects that. The location puts the price at a premium, and given its popularity with business guests, even midweek rates can be high.
