Residence Inn Boston Needham

The hotel itself is five stars. Fairly new, has a bar, and includes breakfast with your stay. The staff is great and you can get outside food delivered.
However, please be warned… if you are not an early riser you may want to find another place to stay. There is a Coke distribution facility right next door that has a huge fleet of trucks that get rolling at 5:00 AM on the dot — AND IT’S LOUD. I’ve stayed here many times and it’s like clockwork. If you can, ask for a room ending in an odd number. This will put you on the side of the hotel that’s furthest from the noise. Turning on the HVAC fan in your room may also help drown out some of the noise from the tractor trailers.
Other than its proximity to some early loudness, it’s a great little hotel in the suburbs of Boston.

We really enjoy the stay here!

Great rooms. Very friendly service. Nothing was too much trouble. Each room has a full kitchen that’s actually properly stocked.

So I have been staying here for the last 2 days and so far I am really liking it except for the room they put in smelled badly of smoke. It irritated my nose a lot. I guess it was my fault that I didn’t ask to change rooms. This was supposed to be a non smoking hotel yet … suprise! People smoked in it lol. Not sure why the maid service did not pick up on that. I finally asked for the room change because I couldn’t take the smell anymore. They were really happy to change my room. Overall the rooms are really nice and very comfortable. How do you beat a flat screen tv, work area and full kitchen with full size fridge? I really enjoyed the L shape couch. Its too cold for me to go exploring because im from the west coast haha so i just ordered in and watched tv for most of my trip. They included utensils, pots and pans in the kitchen if you need to cook. If I could stay here for the test of my trip that would be awesome but too bad I need to be in CT on wed… boo! I doubt my other hotel stays will be this nice. The service here is very good. The people are nice and very accommodating. The lobby smells kinda funky sometimes because of the moping water maybe? The lounge and breakfast area is really nice. I would definitely stay here the next time I’m here for work.

A very, very comfortable home away from home, and office, today during the blizzard. And huge thanks to David Laurent who offered me a water as he passed by in the lobby. Tremendous service!

Second stay in recent weeks, and am booked for another two days next week. Value for money has few equals in this area (+/​-​10 miles) that I know of.
No room service is the only downside I’ve seen.
It is in an industrial area however every amenity is less than a 5 minute drive. For those who don’t drive, you wouldn’t stay here anyway…
I compare this to the Marriott I stayed at in Dedham, about 8 minutes south of here — I have a full kitchen, new and clean rooms, and as close to everything I need — for the same price.
An excellent hotel, with everything I need close, and the area is rapidly developing.

Nice place, enjoyed my stay. There are no services adjacent to the building, but there are a number of restaurants a short, 5-​min drive north.

Book for a three night stay paid very close attention to the cancelation policy since a real chance existed that I would be canceling this stay which in fact ended up being the case. My confirmation email upon booking stated that the cancelation policy was the day of the stay by 4pm. Two weeks before my stay I canceled my reservation received my confirmation email which clearly stated that my reservation has been canceled in full and that I would not be charged. After the stay date came and left I was charged the full rate I contacted customer service who referred me to the manager (David) left three messages on voicemail never return my calls. Contacted customer service again but I was told they could do nothing for me I needed to speak to the manager. I went to the hotel spoke to the front desk again referred me to the manager who wasn’t in that day left my information with my confirmation emails of my cancelation. Never received a call from David the manager. Had my credit card remove the charge.

First time stay at Residence Inn Needham. Hotel was recently renovated and looks great. large room, comfortable, clean and the price was excellent compared to other hotels nearby. Staff was friendly, breakfast was good and the hotel is convenient to Boston without the city price. I travel a lot for business and will stay here again.
I am very sensitive to noise and regarding the construction as I read from other reviews, yes there was some noise but it did not start till 8AM on weekday and was not very loud as the room noise is well insulated. so overall a perfect place for me.

ROOM: Overall the room is amazing, fully equipped with a kitchen, very spacious bathroom, nice sitting area.
NO ROOM SERVICE. I found it very strange that they do not offer room service. They do have a complimentary hot buffet breakfast in the mornings and they offer complimentary socials in the evenings some days, but I think it would be nice to have the option for room service.
GYM: Though up-​to-​date, very small. Two treadmills, two elliptical and a stationary bike. Open 24 hours and has tv’s mounted. Will probably use it tonight.
I would stay at this hotel again, but again, I was disappointed about the lack of food options available, especially since this is in an industrial area, nothing really in walking distance. They have a very limited menu that you can order from the bar, but no formal dinning area. More like a lounge area.
Everything else was excellent.

When I stayed at the new Residence Inn Boston Needham, it was only two weeks old and the smell of freshly installed carpet subtly drifted through the entrance doors. The friendly staff introduced us to their newly opened hotel where the indoor pool and breakfast dining room plus bar glittered and shined. Our room faced the parking lot, but my fear of the car noise was nothing to worry about. However the noise from the new construction next door at 7 am was BAD! The excavator flipping giant blocks of old concrete like toys was not entertaining. Granted it was a weird form of morning wake up which I needed since I was coming in from California. Despite this, the room was FABULOUS! The floor plan was smartly designed and the décor reviles the best 5 star hotels I have stayed at in the past. The bathroom was beautiful and a pleasure to be in compared some places where you want to evacuate immediately. The room includes a sharp looking refrigerator, kitchen sink, dishwasher, and two tall bar stools at the counter. The swiveling TV allows perfect viewing from the kitchen, bed, or couch. The location of the hotel sits close to the freeway, but there is no hint of the noise inside. Their breakfast is your typical Marriott, which includes your waffles, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, cold cereal, fruit, and topped with the most horrible coffee. Just go down to Starbucks ½ mile away if are desperate. Since it is close to the freeway, it makes it quick to get around. Keep in mind, since it is located at a business park, there are very few restaurants near by for dinner. If it wasn’t for the construction noise, I would give this place 5 stars.
