My wife and I traveled to Boston to surprise my son during his Christmas break. We searched high and low for decently rated AND decently priced places in the Dedham/Needham area and found the Residence Inn which had a mix of reviews. Everything seemed to be over $100 per night, with tax and our discount it was almost $140/night. Upon checking in we were greeted by a pleasant front desk staff and a new guy who was in training. Poor guy was shaking! (Nothing like being new). But he was good.
The room was very pleasant and clean. Smelled clean. No major stains, appliances and kitchenette were nice, nice flat screen TV.
One bummer was the heater just didn't seem to warm the room quick enough. It blew cool air, about 75 degrees instead of good warm air that would warm the room quickly. So we wer cold for a while and it was always off after room service and it was COLD during our stay. Warmed up right after we left, doggoneit!
The hotel has a breakfast buffet with your standard fair, roll your own waffles and had scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, cereals and pastries. For a western boy, I did not like the gravy. But everything else was just fine.
We had a nice stay with no issues. Plenty of hot water, good room service each day. We will return to this hotel. But please... more heat in winter!
