Residence Inn by Marriott Boston Waltham
Waltham suites near The LOCAL Kitchen & Drinks
About this hotel
This Residence Inn covers the same suite-and-kitchen formula as its Needham counterpart, useful for a group wanting to self-cater breakfast before an early tee time, but sits deeper in the Waltham cluster near Minute Man National Historical Park. Free breakfast and an indoor pool round out the standard amenities, and The LOCAL Kitchen & Drinks is a four-minute taxi ride away for a proper dinner on a night the group wants a real restaurant. At an 8.6 rating from a smaller pool of 302 reviews, the score carries less statistical weight than the corridor's most-reviewed properties, though it still tracks with the generally strong performance of Waltham's Residence Inn and Marriott-branded hotels. The two-hour public transport run to Logan is long enough that a taxi is the only realistic airport option from here.

Our take
This suits a group wanting suite-format kitchens and a solid guest rating in the Waltham cluster, particularly one planning to self-cater at least a few breakfasts before early tee times. It is a weaker fit for a group that wants a heavily reviewed property or plans to rely on public transport to Logan.
- Plan on a taxi for the airport run rather than public transport, which stretches past two hours from this part of Waltham.
- Cook breakfast in the suite kitchen at least once during the trip; it is one of this property's clearest advantages.
- Book The LOCAL Kitchen & Drinks ahead for a group dinner; it is a short taxi ride and a genuine restaurant, not a hotel bar.
