The hype
Travelers love the location for train access and shopping, but often feel nickel-and-dimed by the paid breakfast and parking.
Courtyard By Marriott Boston Dedham/Westwood
$130-170/ noche
Reserva esto si You need a clean, predictable crash pad within walking distance of the Route 128 Amtrak/Commuter Rail station.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- 3-minute walk to Route 128 train station (easy Boston access)
- Walkable to University Station shops (Wegmans, Target, Del Frisco's)
- Reliable Marriott bedding and cleanliness standards
Resumen rápido: A highly functional transit hotel where the 'pool' is often a mirage and the train whistle is your alarm clock.
Reseñado por @cynthia_wfg: I was surprised by how much space we had! The corner sofa gave us a legit living room vibe, separate from the beds. Super convenient spot right off I-95 and close to Legacy Place shopping. Solid choice if you need reliable comfort near Boston.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
Train noise is a legitimate issue for light sleepers, especially on the side facing the tracks.
- You are taking the Amtrak or Commuter Rail into Boston
- You want a safe, suburban location with walkable big-box retail
- You prioritize a clean bathroom over a free muffin
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests report missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are typically sparkling, with good grout lines and clean drains.
- Maintenance: The property is aging slightly; watch for worn carpets in hallways or slow-draining tubs.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white Marriott standard linens. Towels are plentiful but can be a bit scratchy.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh (Marriott signature scent). Hallways can occasionally smell like 'hotel cleaner' or stale air.

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is breakfast included?
No. The Bistro serves Starbucks coffee and breakfast items, but it is à la carte and can get expensive ($15+ per person).
Is there a shuttle to the train?
You don't need one. The Route 128 station is a 3-minute walk across the parking lot/street.
Is the pool open?
It's a gamble. Recent reports (late 2025/early 2026) frequently mention it being closed for maintenance. Verify directly with the front desk before booking.
Can I walk to restaurants?
Yes. University Station is next door with options like Smashburger, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, and Del Frisco's Grille.
How much is parking?
Self-parking is $5 per night.
Is it safe to walk around at night?
Yes, the area is a well-lit, modern retail and office park. It feels very safe.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Walk to Wegmans (grocery store) nearby for a high-quality, affordable hot food bar instead of eating at the hotel.
- ✨
The train station garage sometimes offers overnight parking options if the hotel lot is full (rare, but possible).
- ✨
Ask for a 'courtyard view' room — it's often just a view of the roof, but it's quieter than the street view.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'Courtyard' is basically a parking lot; there is no lush internal garden.
💡The train station proximity is amazing for travel but terrible for sleeping in.
💡The 'Bistro' closes early (often 10am for breakfast, 10pm for dinner) — don't rely on it for late-night eats.
💡There is a specific 'bed bug' report from 2019 that lingers in search results, though recent cleanliness scores are high.
💡The elevators can be slow and clunky, especially during the morning rush.
