I was not given the correct rooms when I checked in & wasn't even notified that they didn't have both correct rooms only 1 was correct. They gave me one of the cheaper rooms than I booked. But they did comp the parking that I also wasn't aware of having to pay for when booking it. I was told at checkout that they would also give me 10,000 hilton points for having the incorrect room & when i logged into my hilton rewards the points were not put on my account. I also wasn't given a receipt at checkout or even offered one. There were issues in both rooms, I did take photos of all the issues i saw in one of the rooms (the one that was not correct on my reservation) I also have some photos of the room that was correct on my reservation.

Not what it was

We stay at this location every year this time when we are visiting New England. This is the fourth year in a row. The wear and tear is getting to this location. Staff wise everyone is excellent and has a smile. One of the big reasons we choose embassy on our travels is the breakfast they offer, but I am afraid this has becoming less and less every year. We were bummed to see they had no bacon this time. We had more option at other hotels at our trip with much less of a price point. Another note for whatever reason everyear the floor is sticky in the breakfast area. This can happen from time to time, but we noticed it again this year just like last year. We will more than likely be looking else where as other chains have simply caught up with amenities and are cheaper.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Unfortunately when we got to our room, our tub stopper was broken, they did send somebody promptly to fix it. Also there were crumbs on the pull out couch as well and the sheet did not seem clean. My husband and I also killed 3 flying bugs during our stay. There was some major misdirection and communication regarding receiving extra towels, I called the front desk but they told my husband to ask maintenance to bring them who then told us it was a front desk request (which made sense) and when I went to call front desk there was a knock on our door from somebody with extra towels so I'm not sure what to make of that. Thankfully the smart TVs made it easy to log into our own apps so the kids could be occupied as we did not purchase a wifi package. The pool is always a good time with children and the hours were nice and gave us an opportunity to take advantage after a long day. I appreciated a later check out time of 11am especially with two littles. Staffed seemed friendly during the stay.
Pull out sofa sheet cover.

Good stay!

It was a nice family trip since I has to attend a weedding. The room was big! The kids were comfortable and so were we. I loved the fact that the room had a door so the kids could nap or sleep longer. The only thing is that the shower curtains were pink at the bottom which is very nasty!

Overall Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1 out of 5) Title: Humiliating, Aggressive, and Unjust Police Called Without Cause Review: I stayed at Embassy Suites by Hilton Boston Waltham on June 25, 2025, and had one of the most disturbing hotel experiences of my life. I was confronted by a staff member Chanell Taylor, who claimed to be a manager in an aggressive and accusatory manner, without cause, without any proper investigation, and without the basic respect or professionalism one would expect from Hilton. Instead of seeking clarification or resolution, she escalated the situation in a public area and ultimately called the police on me. I was escorted off the premises like a criminal for absolutely no reason. The entire incident felt like I was being profiled and targeted. I was left humiliated, emotionally shaken, and deeply disappointed. This is not just bad service this was a complete violation of dignity and hospitality. I would never recommend this property to anyone, and I am actively pursuing a formal complaint with Hilton leadership.
