Fairfield Inn Boston Dedham

This is an old hotel… dirty not well kept and an awful rude staff. How Marriott lets this place use there name… It’s like an old fashion motel Beware!

Fairfield Inn & Suites — Dedham, MA — 11÷3÷2015
Convenient to highways and definitely one of the least expensive Mariotts around the Boston area…
Book your stay online in the Marriott app and take advantage of the double points offer.
Friendly hotel staff at check in, even got a bottle of water andy rail mix bag at check-​in. Very basic accommodations as far as a Marriott is concerned but definitely adequate for my stay and well worth the money.
The gym is small, only two machines but they do have an array of dumbbells…
Complimentary breakfast included from 6 – 9 am with sufficient offerings. The coffee was bold so quite to my liking.
All and all a great value for the dollar and next time I’m in the area I’ll stay here again!

The hot felt old and poorly maintained once you left the lobby. The initial room I was put in I think must have been one that was noted for being rough, because the receptionist looked at her manger and he told her, «Ya, that’s all we have, do it.» I didn’t think much of it until I walked into the room. The air was thick and moist and the room smelt like a littler box, I didn’t put anything down and called the front desk. While waiting to be called back, I dug a little deeper and found stains on the sheets as well. After a little maneuvering they put me in a different room, which was clean, but still strange. I stay at a lot of Fairfield Inns and this one was certainly not the best. The staff was considerate, so I’ll give them that much. The rooms though just feel old and strange, like they were put together with all the beat up furniture from every other Marriott.

Not that bad of a hotel. Friendly and helpful staff at this location. Look and feel of the place reminds me of a super 8 that was turned into a fairfield inn. Strong wireless Internet which is amazing and sometimes hard to find in hotels. Down side I think the place might have bed bugs or something. Was bitten the first few night and wasnt until I switched out the bed sheets it stop. Though around my last day I got bit again on my arm which shows the breakfast, lunch, and dinner tracks of an insect. My employees didn’t have any issue though. All in all not bad i would stay again just would change rooms instantly if bitten again.

Stayed here 2 night’s & had a good stay. The room is pretty small & am glad it was just me because 2 people would be hard pressed for comfort (IMO). Room was clean & bed comfy though. The breakfast was one of the better one’s I’ve had at a hotel. I was supprised though when I ordered a pizza to be delivered that I had to go to the lobby to get it because the hotel don’t let non-guest’s in – no exception. I guess that’s a good thing, just not expected.

Stayed there during thanksgiving. Let me start by saying what was positive about my experience: price was OK; the complimentary breakfast was excellent; nice room with free wi-​fi; and convenient off I-​95, which was great as I was visiting family in the next town over. Negative: there was a powerful air freshener/​fragrance pumped into the hallway that was truly sickening. Luckily, most of smell didn’t make it into the room; other hallways of this spread out facility didn’t have that scent. The male clerk at checkout was very apologetic.

The managers weren’t great. They were unwelcoming and cold. My home had a pipe burst and she asked how much longer my family and I would be staying making me feel uncomfortable. The rooms weren’t bad I guess. It was nice enough to serve sub par complimentary breakfast so I can’t complain too much. The workers were much more helpful and nicer as opposed to the managers.

Very comfortable beds, clean room, solid WiFi, excellent service, cheap price, good location right off 95 makes it convenient to Boston and area colleges. Breakfast was lame, just grab a yogurt and go. What else do you need to know?

Stayed here for the 2 night minimum required by my son’s soccer tournament director. A complete and utter dump. Half of the security doors which SHOULD require a room key did not require any keys for access. This place stunk to the high heavens of cigarette smoke, which is funny since it claims to be a smoke free hotel. When I checked into my room, there was some type of dehumidifier/​air purifier in there to remove the stench. When I called the front desk, they kindly informed me that they don’t even own any of those machines. Maintenance came and took it away and when I asked them about it, they were no longer capable of speaking english. Okay?!? Hmmmm… one of our fellow teammates has now been to the urgent care facility and placed on antibiotics for a major chest infection due to his mold allergies and very obvious presence of mold in the rooms. Out of 17 families staying here, at least half of them had damp carpets in their rooms. I was going to try and move my room but I preferred staying on the lower level so that I could evacuate in case of fire. I’m positive none of their alarms or sprinklers would work.
When the boys went to use the pool, the only lighting that was working was from the beautiful Residence Inn next door (booked to capacity, sadly) and the road. How many times have you ever been to a hotel and had to leave the pool area because of all the chlorine? Well, it’s not a problem here — there is not even a remote odor of chlorine.
One of our teammates’ toilets was overflowing and when the staff came to clean it, they used towels to absorb the water and then wiped everything down. Without a single chemical.
This place is the epitome of a dump. It’s fine if you were paying $ 50, but at the rate we paid, we expected more than a «pay by the hour» type of joint.
Talk about ruining our team’s first experience to Boston. They should just torch that place and start from scratch.

I’ve stayed here a few times — usually for work, but once when I was moving into my apartment in Boston on the dreaded September 1^st and needed a place to stay. While Marriott is my go-​to hotel, this location is not my favorite.
It’s location in Dedham (as expressed in other posts) is kind of awkward, but there are a great number of restaurants in the area, which partially makes up for it. The actually layout of the hotel is incredibly confusing. I left my room on a few occasions and couldn’t find my way back to my room for the life of me! I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a renovated motel of sorts, so I guess that can’t be blamed on Marriott.
The staff here is pleasant and very helpful, as is the way of Marriott.
With your stay comes a free breakfast buffet, but be aware that the crowds and lines in the morning can be bananas! My friend and I had to take our plates back to our room because there was absolutely nowhere to sit.
Overall, it’s an okay place to stay. It’s not my favorite Marriott location, but it’s good enough if you’re in the area for a short period of time.

We stayed here for a girls night since Legacy Place is walking distance (less than 5 min). This was also by far one of the cheaper options for our girls local getaway (we each only live about 45 minutes from this location but in opposite directions). Getting to the hotel by car from Legacy place is a challenge as there is no turn allowed. I only warn of that because three times this became an issue. Overall the hotel was clean but the walls were thin so you could hear your neighbors. Our door wouldn’t shut properly unless you knew the trick but for the price I didn’t have extremely high expectations. The hallways were a bit of a maze since we were in a rear building. We couldn’t ever find our way out without using the elevator unless we went down flights of stairs only to go up again. Free parking is available on site along with a morning breakfast included in your room rate. The staff at the front desk were very friendly making sure we knew where things were in the area for attractions and entertainment. Not a stellar hotel but great location and proximity to Legacy Place.

Have you ever been to a Marriott and realized it wasn’t a Marriott for real? Like it used to be a motel where they’d leave the light on for you but it now has new owners and a new name. First, thank you for recognizing my elite status with my cookies and bottle of water! That was the highlight of my stay along with the friendly front desk staff. Along with my cookies, I was given a parking pass to keep on my dash. Tacky. Strike 1. Get to my room and Goldilocks has left breadcrumbs throughout the hallway. Yuck. 24 hours later hallway has not been vacuumed. Strike 2. Enter my room and my fitted sheet is inside out. Who does that? You can clearly see the seams. And the housekeeper with her attention to detail didn’t fix it when she made the bed today. Strike 3. I go to use the hand lotion and the bottle is half empty. Did you purposely ‘conserve’ the half empty bottle for the next guest? Epic Fail. Did I mention the lingering smell from when this was party central? I am only staying because I’m exhausted and the comforter is white, crisp and smells of bleach. If you are used to the Marriott standards, I would not stay here.

Lousy service, poor check in, old smelly rooms… will not recommend this to anyone

Carrie the manager and George who works at the desk are awesome. Went in last week and they were awesome! I am going back next week. They are were very accomodating and were very helpful when i made the reservation to accomodate my husband who is in a wheelchair. Pool was great temp was perfect and it was very clean. Priced right if you need a hotel in Dedham these are your guys!

We stayed at the Marriott in Dedham, MA when we visited Boston in October 2012 and enjoyed our stay! For a decent price, we enjoyed a comfortable room and good service. There was a bit of a wait to check in and the hotel is a bit hard to find (the Marriott offices are right next door and the area is confusing and secluded).
There’s a fitness center (not that we used it) and a nice little bar/​lounge area.
It’s also a bit far from Boston itself — I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you are visiting Boston for the first time or need to get into the city quickly. We had to take a commuter train (which came once every 2 hours) for half an hour to get into the heart of the city. But if you know these facts going into this experience, you won’t be too disappointed. It’s certainly a comfortable and affordable place to stay if you’re taking at trip to Boston.

Great stay here. Huge king suite with a sleep sofa, dining table and kitchenette. Front desk person, George was very helpful. Highly recommend this hotel.

The room they put me in was great. Vaulted ceilings, nice TV, comfortable bed. No complaints there and the staff was very professional and helpful. The smiles never left and the woman I had the pleasure of having checked me in seemed genuinely happy to help me.
Staff easily deserved 5 stars and the room maybe 3 or 4. However the hallway outside of my room smelled, bad, and like urine. I’m certain they plan on doing something about that but I also imagine they have a carpet cleaner in the building and something should have been done immediately.
Overall this is a decent hotel to stay at if you have business in the area, as it is reasonably priced and accommodating as well as located right near fun shopping and restaurants!

If your hotel’s business center has dial up and no printer, its not a business center. It’s a computer with online access. Just thought you should know.
