"Amazing Experience!!"

5
User 09/02/2023

I had just recently stayed at the Best Western and 100% would come back. Everything overall was great, my room was quiet and spotless clean. I've never had a hotel where the bed and pillows are this comfortable and all the staff here are so helpful and amazing. I will say their breakfast at Zachary's is delicious, always hot and fresh. The wonderful lady Galina who works as a hostess at Zachary's is outstanding. She always asks if we needed anything, made sure everything was clean and overall such a nice woman. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

After a horrible road trip trying to get from Jersey To Canada in which we got lost in the middle of no where, then took the wrong exit to a small town where I ended up getting food sick, finally got to this bright and clean hotel, seemed like the light of the end of the tunnel, we got greeted by Angel who in less that we expected, got us settled in our room. Not too long my stomach sickness got worst and I ended up clogging the rooms only bathroom, super embarrassed, I hesitated on calling but Angel picked up the phone and made me feel like it was no problem at all. Got us got us situated in a bigger, larger room, even with a view! Amazing people still do exist and he is one of them, along with the staff, totally recommended this little live saver (:

I went with my family from Argentina and we had a great time. Everything was clean and in perfect condition. The people was kind and very helpful with everything. I like it has Latino people who helped us with things, because our English is not that good so we could do things. Amazing experience!

User 25/01/2023

Nice choice of eggs, sausage, home fries, yogurt, mini muffins and never ending supply of good coffee! Place to relax, comfortable :) Very large facility, quiet bar and food area separate from restaurant. Didn't use the pool but many did. Large parking area.

"Not The Best at all......"

1
User 23/01/2023

Great place is you want to listen to 20 or 30 kids running up an down the halls at all hours of the night. Rooms are nothing special and need to be renovated. Not worth the $600 for 3 nights. Would have been better sleeping in my truck and showering at LA Fitness in the morning...... Understaffed Bar/Restaurant. Bartender should get hazard pay for being over whelmed all night, but he got it done. He was fantastic given the hand he we dealt by the manager. Great guy.... Only thing Great about my stay....

I spent 1 night and it was a great stay and the room was making me feel like home. Close to restaurants and shopping. Friendly staff. Will go back if in the area. Had a great hight sleep. Did not visit the pool or the gym.

The owners need to invest some money in this building. It is outdated and needs upgrades. The staff was very nice and helpful, but it is time to slap some paint, buy some new furniture and give this hotel a serious makeover.

Really nice and accommodating hotel. Clean rooms, top notch breakfast, one of the best we've ever had. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Easy access when traveling through this area of Massachusetts. Lots of things to do with in minutes of the hotel. Would definitely recommend staying at this property.

My wife and I attended the annual Natural Living Expo that is hosted by this Best Western. The staff from check in to the wait staff were great. Breakfast was great. We will be back again. Great place to stay.

"Filthy, rundown and disappointing"

1
User 14/11/2022

Overall condition of the room was dirty and run down. The first two rooms given were moldy with door locks that did not function. The complimentary breakfast also contained fruit that contained mold and was clearly past its prime. I would not only refrain from staying at this location again, but I have also informed all company employees to question their decision to stay as well.

"Clean, safe rooms. Very bad restaurant and breakfast."

3
User 14/11/2022

The rooms are clean and safe, so that's good. The restaurant is very sticky and dirty and way overpriced. The food was terrible. The free breakfast is also very bad. Stale french toast that I couldn't bite through from the day before, fruit that tastes off and burnt coffee. You'd get better food if you brought your kids' school cafeteria food with you. 1 out of 4 elevators broken, vending and ice on my floor was broken.

room was not as clean as it should be if they are disinfecting after each guests checks out. I had crumbs on the desk chair and a couple dead bugs on the carpet, it's possible the bugs died after the riin was vacuumed but they did not get the crumbs.

sue c, Nova Scotia 25/10/2022

Overall, this is an extremely tired property. Pre-registration email sent to me did not work. Advised person at check-in that their system wasn't working; was told that it has NEVER worked. No trolleys available, dirty soiled hallway carpeting, 2 of 4 elevators broken down, ice maker broken (went to bar for ice; was told this happens almost every day). But the worst was the bedbugs we discovered. We checked out at 9pm & drove an additional 4 hours to get to a hotel that wasn't full that would accept a pet. Horrible experience!

"Not worth the price."

2
Marysparks73, Rowley, Massachusetts 24/10/2022

We chose the Best Western because of the location. The quality of the rooms were very poor. There were no towels for showering available in our room. The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were weird and also not comfortable. Two out of the four elevators were not working and we were on the sixth floor so each time we went up and down we had to not only wait for an elevator but wait for people to get on and off each floor. We also ate at the restaurant and the quality of the food was disappointing but the server was nice. We did not feel the $250 room cost was worth the poor quality of the experience. We could have stayed at a significantly cheaper hotel and had the same experience. We were truly disappointed!

"Attended for a convention"

I was there for a convention which I have attended many times. The rooms were quiet and clean. Good breakfast. The restaurant served good food and the waiters were friendly. Two of the elevators were not working.

The hotel is clean very nice the pool is great the breakfast staff and breakfast staff and breakfast is wonderful you can check in and check out very fast fast just enjoy the atmosphere the hotel gives it's pet friendly which is a plus and their restaurant in bar is excellent as excellent as well can't complain about anything easy access to stores and restaurants in the price is right

I had a great experience, the staff was great, breakfast was good & the room was clean. They are pet friendly. Also my favorite restaurant Chipotle is right around the corner. Overall it was great no complaints. I will definitely return in the near future.

"Do not stay here"

Ususallyhappytravele, Groton, Connecticut 10/10/2022

2 of 4 elevators that had been inspected 2 months before were out of service (the technician was coming Wednesday - what one was never detailed). The bathtub drain backed up and spewed black gunk into the tub - four requests for maintenance were ignored but when we left, they thought maybe they would take the room out of service. The daytime staff was indifferent, the young man in the evening was personable and tried to be helpful. Once you leave the shiny lobby it is outdated, dirty, and badly in need of plumbing repair, ceiling repairs for the moldy water leaks. You get the picture. However, the free breakfast for some reason is very well done, great choices, and a pleasant helpful staff.

lissa514, Schenectady, New York 10/10/2022

Will never visit this hotel again! Two working elevators out of four for 450-500 guests during a painting convention. Had to go down to the reception desk to get your sheets, towels, garbage bags, coffee, etc. There were many of us who had non-working phones in our rooms. Not everyone owns a cell phone, so there was no way to call if you had an emergency. I'd call the hotel first before I booked a room to make sure there is working elevators, phones and staff!

"Off the main road but worth finding"

4
User 08/10/2022

This is the second time we've stayed at this property this year. Coming from one direction on the main road, it is easy to find, but coming from the other direction - turning left into the entrance - is difficult. To get to the hotel, you have to turn left again despite a "do not enter" sign. After a booking.com reservation did not work out, we needed reservations for that same night. Fortunately, we had been to this hotel a few months earlier and knew it was huge and would likely have rooms. The breakfast spread is fantastic. My only complaint was that someone was smoking cannabis in the hallway during the night, and the smell gives me a bad headache.

"Awesome hotel experience"

5
User 05/10/2022

The staff helped us with a very late night checkin. They were all very friendly. The breakfasts were the best we had during our whole trip. Loved the food and the breakfast staff. They chatted with us. They kept the food hot and stocked and cleaned up the tables quickly throughout the morning

One of the best staffs I have ever come across. Great night sleep. Huge breakfast. Close to interstate. Check in was fast and easy. check out was even faster. Nice pool, bar and restaurant. Rooms are very quiet.

"Decent Hotel Choice"

RCMTourGuide, Burton, Ohio 21/09/2022

I stayed on two different nights in one week. I'm glad I waited until after the second stay to write the review. On my first night (September 2022), I stayed on the 3rd floor. The room was clean, but overall, the hallway and room carpets were "tired" and the beds, while comfortable enough, are probably due to be replaced. The front desk staff was friendly and customer service oriented. Breakfast was great. On my second visit, I stayed on the 4th floor. What a pleasant difference. New carpets. Overall a fresher appearance. Still a good staff, and clean room. Still a great breakfast selection. If you stay any time after September 2022. hopefully you will find the entire hotel to have been redecorated and updated. Breakfast had a large selection of hot teas and coffee choices. Lots of cold cereal as well as hot oatmeal, and good quality yogurt. Hot selections included two types of eggs, pancakes (that you make fresh yourself) sausage, and potatoes. Juices. Fruit. Really very nice. The fitness room is well supplied with treadmills, weights, etc. The swimming pool was way too cold for me to enjoy it. Rather than relaxing, it would be stressful to be in water as cold as a Michigan lake. (And I booked this hotel, in part, to relax in the pool.) But really, that's the only downside. I was quite comfortable, and would return.

"Convenient Stay During Convention"

w1sj, Essex, Vermont 30/08/2022

Stay was OK. Nothing really outstanding or terrible to report. Everything in the room was functional. Some dirt on carpet. Internet worked well. TV had a limited selection of channels. Breakfast was very good and I appreciated the extended hours (until 11AM). Did not like policy which required advance notice by 4PM day before to get room cleaned. Hotel needs to provide clear signage from Route 20. Sign is currently blocked by trees.

My stay was for two nights. I was in town to visit family. Hotel was clean, bed was comfortable, staff was very good at check in. No issues. Breakfast was good. Wifi worked for me. There was a ham radio convention at hotel. No issues with noise. I would stay at this hotel again. It was in a good location.

We have stayed here twice for a convention. The service, rooms, and food are all very good. The bathrooms are in need of updating, but they are clean and in working order. Comfortable bed, very good ventilation.

tracy70jacobs, Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne, Canada 29/08/2022

It was a bit confusing to find the entry, then when you go down the drive you're not sure if it's the right way because there's no other signage to indicate that you are headed the right way. Then you finally get to the hotel after going down the long driveway. Nice big hotel, a little outdated, old smell but you get used to it I guess because it didn't bother me after awhile. Bathroom was big and nice but the tub was lumpy when taking a shower, felt like I was showering on cobblestone. Room was nice and spacey. Nice lobby area.

Fred P, Boston, Massachusetts 19/08/2022

Don't bother. This hotel is old and poorly maintained. While the rooms are spacious, an upgrade is sorely needed. The toilet runs, the tub was filthy due to age, and the drain in the bathtub was so slow you get your feet bathed in dirty water as you showered. The only good part was the breakfasts.

dreamsgranted, Reisterstown, Maryland 08/08/2022

My husband and I just stopped for one night on our way to visit friends in Maine. We were greeted as BW Rewards members & given goody bags-water & ice cream! The king room was very spacious which was nice as we just wanted to stay in the room and relax after our 7-1/2 hr drive. Located off the main roads, it was quiet yet just about anything you would want is right next door-restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, & entertainment. Only issue was that only 2/4 elevators we're working so always waiting for one.

"Run down hotel"

User 01/08/2022

Hotel is run down. Hallways are muggy and extremely hot. Rooms are damp feeling. Upon check in hotel was dirty. Elevator smelled like puke. No one answers front desk phone, once we finally got ahold of them for towels, 5 calls later l, no one got us any.

We stayed because our AC broke in a heat wave. We went so we could swim in a pool. Pool was so disgusting we could not even go in. We complained and no one cared. The night manager said oh sometime amenities are broken and so rude.

Jack L, East Syracuse, New York 21/07/2022

I was checked in by Quon & Corber in a short time. Room 556. The room was spacious with two queen comfortable beds. Between the beds are two wall mounted lights. Facing the beds is one large cabinet with three medium drawers along with fridge & micro wave. Above the cabinet is a medium size flat screen with about 55 channels, however some channels listed on a card didn't match with the channels shown. Next to the cabinet is a writing desk with a lamp and a swivel chair. Floor is in/out door carpet. If I remembered cooectly the room had no closet, however on one walll is a metal rack. Bathroom. A tub/shower combo. Hot water for shower in 12 seconds. Sink counter has awall to wall large mirror. Bottles of shampoo & conditoner. The shower head is adjustable. On one end of tub is a safety handle. Plenty of towels. Because of ther covid there is NO daily housecleanig-most of motel/hoteld don't have maid service- or bed making. If a guest needs fresh towels, take the towel(s) to the front desk for an exchange. Overall the room was clean & no smells. NOTE. The toilet paper is paper thin, I recommend that a guest bring their own roll(s). The A/C worked fine. Unit was operating on arrival. Controls were easy to operate. NO blackout cutains, just a dark see thru curtain. Breakfast. Hours. 6:00 to 9:00. The area is two levels, with the lower level having mostly booths and square tables. Upper level is mostly benches & square tables. Menu: Streamers for scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage patties, french toat, self-serve pancakes-the cakes are small I would do two two at a time. Only two streamers at a time. Juices: orange, cranberry, apple & cold water. Bowls of bananas, oranges and apples. Boxes of dry coreals. Cooler hard boiled eggs.THree levels of pastries. One container of watermelon & strawberries. Two wall mounted flat screens for morning news or Boston spots. There are children's chairs. The breakfast was filling & tasty. The lobby is huge. In the center-on a raised platform- are eight large tables surrounded by type of plant life. A short walk is a arcade with Frigght Fear Land Hot Stuff, pick-up of animals,, Time Busters, a pichup ball unit, A Lighthouse machine & a Stacher. Also a bill changer along with soda & snack machine. THis B.W. has an All-Star Bar & Grill Zachary's Restauraant. There are four elevators with each unit making some type of noise. The doors will shut quickly. I learned to stand between # 2 & 3, which gave me a chance to get inside a unit before a door door closes. Most hotels I stayed at have sliding automatic doors, this facility has a large three section revoluting door, with a regular door to use one of four luggage carts. This facility does not use cast. To make a purchase I to use my credit card card at the front desk. On the fifth floor is a soda machine , whch takes no bills, just a cedit card. I want to thank the following staff: Quon & Corben afternoon &evening, Angle (male) during the morning, Galing-breakfast ara, & Anyer-morning. There was at least two other staff, however I never learned their. There is a swimming pool & fitness room. What is missing is a guest laundry. I can't say if there is a comuter is available. To describle this B.W. in one word would be LARGE. Large rooms, parking lot, lobby and breakfast. There are several restaurants within walking distance which are \\: Boston Market, Chipolte, McDonalds, Evviva Traittoia-Italian-110 Grill, Ben & Jerry's, Friendlys & Linguine Italian Eatery. Great menu, try the Meatball Lasagna. Some of these restaurants are across Boston Post Road, which is four lanes. The address for B.W. is 181 Boston Post Rd West, Marlborough, MA, however this is misleading, as the building is at leasat 3/8 of a mileoff Boston Post. If driving with a mall on the RIGHT,pass thru a traffic light, down the on Boston. Look for two medium trees on the RIGHT- which if Royal PLaza Drive which is half way down on the hill, this is where a person turns RIGHT towards the B.W. Once on Royal Plaza Drive be aware of a speed bump, just before the Royal Plaza Trade Centeer on the LEFT. There is a small bump sign just before driving over the bump. The should be at least 100 feet back. This was my second stay, only during this stay did I learn wher to turn off Boston Post Road. I hope these driving instructions off Boston Post Road are helpful. On my first visit I followed my GPS unit, which lead to the mall-on the right. I called B.W. explaining were I was and was told where to. I still have to learn where the facility was located. I read several negative reviews about the housecleaning. The problem is not just Best Western, most hotels in the U.S. have the same problem. I would stay again in the future. I recommend a stay.

"Horrible go somewhere else"

Mike H, Sandown, New Hampshire 30/06/2022

Place is extremely dated and going through a renovation. They have a seriously long way to go - until then you get a 1980's dive. Enjoy the stains, smells, broken door locks, sagging mattresses, and so so much more! Check in, what time does the restaurant and bar open? Oh, the weekend. Well, that's nice, wouldn't have booked here, but ok. Look around, place is a ghost town. Other Hotels all up and down the strip are packed and this one isn't. NOT A GOOD SIGN. Ask for a room cot, six hours later it arrives at 10:30 pm. No wonder…place is a ghost town. One person working apparently the desk, and everything else. Next morning go to continental breakfast. Come back and my hotel room door is wide open. House keeping. It's 8:15 in the morning. Check out is 11. Don't blame the poor girl, she looked like the only person working. Meanwhile this whole area is bustling along very nicely. Lots of restaurants, Apex gaming facility, nice hotels…not THIS PLACE. Even the parking lot looked like a meteor slammed into it. Go somewhere else. Trust me.

"Tucked off the main road but nice, quiet property"

User 17/06/2022

The hotel is much larger than the usual Best Western, presumably designed for trade shows and similar events. It was not busy at all the night we stayed, and I don't think the restaurant was open...but the complimentary breakfast was very nice, a much better range of options compared to other properties. Otherwise, pretty much as expected. We did like the free upgrade to a larger room...but if it wasn't free, I would not have paid the extra money, since we don't spend that much time in the hotel room. My only complaint was how hard it was to get there when coming from the west on Route 20.

caj2129, San Jose, California 29/05/2022

I thought it was overpriced for the amenities i received. In other words what i got i could have gotten the same thing at reasonably priced best western or some other same quality hotel. The room was noisy. All heard all night was a dripping sound from a outside gutter drain.

User 05/05/2022

The whole experience is one I don't ever want to repeat. Using covid as an excuse to not make it an enjoyable and relaxing trip. Had to empty my own garbage, make my own bed and go to front desk to request towels. Rooms are outdated and unsafe with no screens on a window that opens it was nice enough weather to open them but wasps got in the room because of it.

"DRUGS AND UNCHANGED SHEETS"

1
User 02/05/2022

Stayed here in March, 2022. In the middle of the night, I reached out my hand under the covers in the bed and found a used crack pipe in the bed. It's bad enough to find drug paraphernalia in a hotel room (especially during a 12-step convention!) but the fact that it was in the bed means that the sheets were not changed from the last guest. I brought this to the attention of hotel management; they were pretty blasé about it (I definitely got the sense that it's not the first time it has happened) and gave me a different room and a free bottle of water. No kidding. I then brought it to the attention of Best Western customer service and have had no response from them whatsoever.

"Not So Best at the Western"

"Interesting Best Western"

chelsaw596, Willoughby, Ohio 20/04/2022

While the lobby and breakfast restaurant were beautiful and the location was nice, the room felt like it was straight from the early 2000's (tv, shower curtain, heater/AC and all). The restaurant/ free breakfast was a legitimate restaurant and not the usual free breakfast that Best Western typically does. While that's nice, just make sure to wear shoes as I just walked down expecting the usual and wasn't wearing any! Also while they are pet friendly, there are not any easy access potty spots so I recommend bringing potty pads! Great service and friendly staff, though!

"Bad"

1
User 11/04/2022

Hotel staff were rude, not helpful. Elevators sounded like they were going to break down and had to wait at LEAST 5 min each time for one. Hotel was noisy. No hot tub. Very mediocre hotel and the food was lousy.

I loved my stay here…with the exception of a few things. The bed, shower and room overall was terrific however the breakfast selection and tv had little choice so although I was comfortable there were downsides

The only thing nice about this hotel was the staff, they were pleasant, extremely helpful, empathic, and hard working (very understaff from previous visits before Covid), that being said the place should be demolished and construct a new hotel.

User 16/02/2022

I travel often from SC to MA and have stayed at quite a few locations. This one, by far, is the best one I've encountered. Location is ideal, rooms were clean and cozy, the breakfast buffet is absolutely amazing. Pool, kids activities, amazing location that I highly recommend.

Hotel was in a good location- close to a lot of things- restaurants and an APEX. Hotel was clean just older . Restaurant/bar was closed except for free breakfast buffet. Kind of quiet not much going on. No pressure in shower water at all. Overall was an average place to stay!

"Fine for one night"

User 16/01/2022

We chose this hotel for the location, pool and grab n go breakfast. Location was fine, hotel seems a little dated. The pool was cold, we couldn't connect to WiFi, and there was not an option for a grab and go breakfast.

The staff was awesome, friendly, helpful and went out of their way to do anything to make our stay pleasant. The breakfast was sumptuous, with warm and cold items and take out boxes provided. Super comfy beds and pillows, will stay again.

"Basically pleasant but please wear masks."

User 26/11/2021

The staff tried but the management needs to make the guests feel safer by requiring the staff to wear masks and letting us know they have been vaccinated. Rooms should be cleaned more frequently. The breakfast was hot but not up to their previous standards. I previously stayed at another hotel which did require masks and kept the food area safer.

"Great accommodations and convenient"

Samanthablackie5, New Jersey 27/10/2021

Family business has necessitated frequent visits to the Marlborough area from out of state. The Best Western Royal Plaza is not only a convenient location for me, the accommodations are very comfortable and the hotel has become my “home away from home”! The staff is very friendly and the customer service is great. It's so nice to see Corban and Laurel's smiling faces when I check in. It isn't often that one stays at a hotel the size of the Royal Plaza and finds the General Manager engaged in conversations with patrons. Arthur Correa is that kind of Manager and sets a great example for his team. I wouldn't stay anywhere else when I visit the area.

The staff is very pleasant and the location is convenient to the major highways. There are many restaurants, grocery stores, fast food chains within walking distance to this hotel. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are traveling through this area.

I stayed here at the Best Western Marlborough for a few nights and thought this place was terrible. Very understaffed (probably due to economic effects of Covid), and I could see they did have a sign outside about now hiring. It was very noisy. An idiot staying in the room next to me was blasting music at 2AM. They gave me a room close to the elevator and had no other rooms to move me to. I would estimate 80% of the people were not wearing masks even though we are still in the middle of a pandemic (as of Oct, 2021). No one wearing masks on the elevators either. City of Boston has an indoor mask mandate, but in Marlborough I guess they do not. CDC recommends anywhere there is substantial transmission (middlesex county fits this) that people wear masks indoors even if fully vaccinated. Not only does the hotel not give a toot about Covid, they do not provide enough blankets at check in. It's very hard to get a human to appear at the front desk as the person is asleep at the wheel all the time. Hand Sanitizer dispensers on each floor were empty and never refilled (no one else staying there cared since I guess they assume their vaccination is 100% effective and the CDC doesn't know what they're talking about). I would not stay here again.

"Convenient location"

Painter16, Lynn, Massachusetts 16/10/2021

Easy to get to, right off Rte. 495. There are a lot of stores and restaurants within a few minutes drive. Lots of rooms for meetings. Plenty of free parking. Set back from the main road so there is no traffic noise at all. Large Trade Center for trade shows.

"VERY RUN DOWN ROOMS"

loverofgoodfood2727, Gig Harbor, Washington 11/10/2021

The rooms were very noisy (running toilet, clanky fridge) Dirty (my socks were very dirty walking across the carpet, bathroom floors cleaned in the middle) Only items in bathroom, two shower towels, no washcloths or hand towels or extra TP. No wake up call (phones did not work). No help from reception staff at all, would not even call us a taxi.

"Lack of staff or lack of training?"

Donna F, Concord, New Hampshire 11/10/2021

I was lucky to have towels and facecloth for my recent stay. Some rooms had none for a couple of days. I guess it's a good thing the breakfast room wasn't vacuumed because I found a pin I had dropped the day before. Breakfast was decent although not as varied and generous as other years. Coffee was terrible until long time employee returned on Saturday. In room coffee maker was a cheap single cup maker. Either Wolfgang Puck coffee is terrible or coffee maker doesn't brew long enough. Finally figured out if I wet the paper pod the coffee seemed to have flavor. My last night I wasn't able to have dinner until 8pm and asked for take out. It then took the hostess almost an hour to discover the kitchen was out of what I had ordered. I gave up waiting. Friends continued to wait. Got seated, ordered hamburgers to keep things simple but didn't get back to their room until 11pm. We're used to splitting bill with a roommate but their new accounting system doesn't allow it. All goes on one charge card. Never try to eat in the hotel restaurant on a Saturday night.

Stevetiger, Belle Mead, New Jersey 10/10/2021

This place is a dump. Gross, dirty, poorly staffed, dark, dingy, unfriendly. Breakfast substandard. Had to pickup towels, toilet paper and tissues at front desk. Bathroom smelled. Does not deserve Best Western status. Bad Western more appropriate.

C6665BDjeff, Buffalo, New York 05/10/2021

The staff goes the extra steps to make your stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast is an excellent added value and the staff during the breakfast, were exceptional. I noticed one staff member was at the restaurant the night before and back working at 6AM. I appreciated their excellent service.

941william, Montville, Connecticut 13/09/2021

Broken AC, charged me three (3) times for my stay. Waiting for resolution. The service tech was very professional and arranged for transfer to another room due to failed AC. The restaurant personnel were polite, professional and pleasant. My room access card failed twice as did many other guests and the front desk staff suggested it was not the property's fault.

"Excellent conference facility"

hamgal, Hanover, Massachusetts 13/09/2021

We attended a large regional conference . COVID precautions were in place and the majority of attendees were compliant. We were pleased to have a hot breakfast available and included. Although the shortage of food service staff made it impossible to have a full menu at the restaurant, the choices available were varied and excellent. The conference banquet that we attended was served efficiently and the food was hot and tasty. Our room was clean and well maintained, as was the entire facility.

Me and my family checked in after midnight. Let me checked into our room I went into the bathroom and my one year old followed me found a blue pill on the floor which was left behind from the previous guest. She almost put it in her mouth but I caught her that pill would have killed her. When I reported it that night they pushed it off I called again in the morning to let them know what happened a manager came and talked to me but acted like it wasn't a big deal. Our room was filled with cobwebs leftover chapstick from the person before us and food on the floor. We were there for a soccer tournament so I will not be returning there again but if you're looking for somewhere to stay in that area look elsewhere

stewart295, Littleton, Colorado 23/08/2021

Although they tried to update the lobby somewhat, the exterior and rooms are very, very dated. The beds are extremely uncomfortable and bathrooms impossible to get clean due to age. Shower head was set at below 6 feet (I'm 6'3"). Staffing is limited and could not help us if they needed to leave the desk. Room hallways are not air conditioned - you get hit by hot muggy air when getting off the elevator. Rooms have old loud air conditioners - couldn't sleep. No hair dryers in every room. Staff wouldn't help...just had to search for an open unoccupied room to grab one. Stayed for two night and trash bags littered the hallway the entire time. Tried to extend my stay because a hurricane canceled my flight - they hit me with a much higher rate. When I asked for a lower rate, front desk person just looked at me and said no. Couldn't care less that I was stranded. I booked a room at a newer hotel across the street for $60 less per night. In this area, there are several hotel options - avoid this one.

"Dirty, Rundown Hotel"

shaypeet, Harrison Township, Michigan 27/07/2021

The hotel room was dirty and disgusting! The white bed spread had brown stains, the towel hook fell off the bathroom wall, there were hair balls and a wrapper on the floor in the bathroom upon arrival. After using the same towels for three days, I asked for clean ones three times in one day and never received them. The restaurant had poor service and our bills were all mixed up. The leak stained ceilings did not look appealing.

I was checked in very quickly and the staff were very nice. The rooms were well cleaned and I felt safe. I was unable to use many of the amenities during my stay since I was only staying for one night and had to leave relatively early, but it was a very comfortable stay nonetheless.

JillA, Dover, NH 30/05/2021

We pulled in and there was trash all over the parking lot and the lobby had dirty tables all over it. After a significant wait to check in we got to our room which was okay.. The pool had no towels and it took 45 minutes to get some to dry off. There was kids running up and down the halls till past midnight playing hockey. We couldn't find staff any where for anything we needed. The breakfast set up was a joke with only one person working it. We couldn't find anyone to check out. We were supposed to stay two nights but decided to find another place to stay. They did comp our room, I will give them that. This hotel is tired and extremely understaffed . We certainly won't be back.

Dear Jill, Thank you for completing the survey regarding your recent stay at our hotel. We are so sorry that we didn't meet or exceed your expectations during your stay. The pool towels were given out to our guests that had a reservation to use the pool or gym. Unfortunately during this time, we were allowing only 20 guests per hour to use the pool. We had a few big groups inhouse during the weekend and you are right, kids were running through the halls and it was hard to control even with security on duty.

NathanD8898, Saint Louis, Missouri 19/04/2021

I honestly don't know where to begin. First the short blonde lady, had an attitude and was not, I repeat was not approachable. The overnight staff is never around but when he is, he is a grumpy man. One day there's an ambulance the next there's a swarm of cops going up the elevators and invading the floor I was staying in. It all felt like a roller coaster ride. Is it the Batman? The Superman? No it's the Joker, because I got a good laugh at the highs and lows I (i think everyone) went through, throughout this stay. The only plus side to this amusement park was the check in front desk person I believe his name was Gary or something like that and the young lady with him. They were a great team and are always running around trying to accommodate what seemed like every single guest. Gary was rockstar and deserves a million dollars for going out of his way to make sure my stay was taken care of (even though the tag team partners came in on my second night there) they turned everything around for me. I checked out 2 days later because I just didn't feel safe regardless. Wont forget Gary or that young lady he was with(not the blonde lady I first dealt with).Wish I grabbed more names because she was just rude all around.

A few minor things I did not like; The same hard spring mattresses that I had as a kid, a sheet thin comforter and unsupportive pillows, very slow service and the everyday muffin and cereal breakfast. The good things is the staff is very nice, the property is nice but not everything is operating due to covid, beautiful lobby, great amenities. The beds were the deal breaker and probably will not be going there again.

This hotel is my favorite hotel in the New England region because of Ashly perfect services. Extremely heart warming and friendly, very supportive, positive attitude, very relatable to me (to all her customers). She made sure that my stay was very comfortable. She takes her job seriously because she cares for her customers. She's on time with our services, at the front desk. She takes her time to explain to me the rules of the hotel while being a sweetheart. Honestly, I've never seen such great customer service and I couldn't go on living without writing a review; wish more were like her. I came back for another night because of her. Cherish her !

User 02/03/2021

We stayed here because we were attending a dance competition being held there. The hotel is currently under renovation and leaves much to be desired and was not mentioned when booking online. The check in desk was a table set up to the side (didn't know until we walked around for 5 minutes). There was little to no staff to assist especially with an event taking place. We had made a reservation for 4 guests in a king suite. When we got to the room there were no linens for sofa bed, there were ants in the bathroom and overall not well maintained or clean (especially with Covid). Breakfast was advertised to be included with the room rate (with modifications because of Covid such as individually wrapped items) and all we saw was premade cups of coffee or juice sitting out. With several hotel options in the area I would stay elsewhere.

Pool was refreshing. Breakfast includes much more than just cereal. Front desk was accommodating, and friendly. Housekeeping is honest. Forgot my phone and they turned it in. My room was spotless upon arrival. No hair in shower, plenty of towels, and overall an enjoyable experience.

Good luck finding it at night. It's tucked behind the plaza with the entrance down the road. The bed was hard as a rock with little to no blankets. The shower took forever to warm up and had a broken off handle. The only highlight was the sweetheart at the front desk. She was very helpful and pleasant. I'd go somewhere else.

Robert G, Brookhaven, Pennsylvania 27/09/2020

The hotel was under renovation and the lobby had the look of a construction site. The front desk person was friendly and helpful. The room was very quiet and very clean. The parking lot was dimly lit due to multiple burned-out or non-functional overhead lights. there were strange vagrants roaming the lot all hours of the night. While the staff was very nice, I'd probably find another place to stay in the future.

Found this hotel doing a google search. The price was only $54 per night and I thought I would be in for a terrible hotel. Not the case. Would stay here again. I think the price was low because of COVID 19 but anyway it turned out to be a good choice. Breakfast is limited because of the COVID. But we have a fridge and mico. So it's works

morrisonclan, Halifax, Canada 10/04/2020

The Royal Plaza sure was a welcome oasis for a couple travellers heading North during the COVID 19 crisis. Entering the lobby area reassured us this establishment was taking the crisis seriously, and had taken measures to ensure the safety of both their guests and their staff. Little things like moving lobby furniture aside to allow for social distancing, a plexiglass protective shield at the check-in counter, hand sanitizers readily available, clerk wearing safety equipment, etc .eased some of our safety concerns. Our room was well-equipped, very clean, beds and pillows very comfortable. very quiet.. all provided for a restful night's sleep. In the morning, we went to the new makeshift breakfast area where we were warmly greeted by a charming and pleasant hostess. we were offered several options for our Grab 'n Go breakfast bag (because of the virus restrictions), and it was a nutritious breakfast - choice of juices, yogurt, fruit, nutrition bars, coffee, etc. - all presented from behind a table (social distancing!). We would definitely recommend this establishment as a comfortable, clean, friendly nice place to stay!

This hotel is under construction, but that's not the problem. They have a communication problem. First, the main entrance is closed, but there is no sign or indicator of which door we should use. We walked over to the left, wrong. Go to the right, and finally find a door. A smoky entrance actually. Then, I had asked ahead of time what the pool hours are because I knew we'd be getting there late. I was told the wrong hours. Kids were walking down in their bathing suits all excited and then they get disappointed. We get ready to go in the morning during the posted hours. Nope. Closed with no indication why or for how long. Front desk knew NOTHING. More disappointment. Then we go to breakfast. They way it is set up, we sit where we want and get our own food, but because someone is getting our drinks, we're expected to tip. All the other Best Westerns are self-serve and probably one of the reasons we book them. Probably won't be coming back to this one.

kfinn203, Suches, Georgia 13/02/2020

The room is clean, quiet and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is outdated and some TLC, however, we did get a good nights sleep, and the breakfast was very good. The grounds had a lot to be desired, and the no smoking by the front door was not enforced, cigarette butts were strewn about everywhere. Overall the stay was fine. I believe that a little more care needs to be taken on the grounds. Some updating was going on in the front lobby, so that is a good start. The breakfast tasted very good, better than a lot of hotel breakfast. So that was a plus. It was a good quiet location too. The hotels just needs an overhaul.

Hotel: very friendly personel but a bit old fashioned hotel. I was unable to find the fitness location in the hotel. The bed sheets are statically charged and it takes a while to get hot water in the room. Location: the hotel is located at the backside of the post road. The GPS wasn't able to find the exact location. Close to all the restaurants.

we love all the affairs here; Deb Webb is a piece of magic. She sees that everything is in the correct place, dashing about effortlessly.

"Clean rooms but no open restaurant"

User 02/01/2020

Went from 12/30 through 1/1 and room was clean and as advertised, however, was very disappointed with the breakfast bar which served runny cold eggs and hard as rock French toast. Also the waffle maker was not working correctly I had to use my phone to time it myself and the dispenser for the batter was also not working correctly. For lunch went to the lounge downstairs that has a sign open from 1130am to 10pm daily that we found out wasn't opening until that evening the room service never picked up their phone so I had to have delivery. Went there for dinner and the all star lounge was very overpriced and apparently understaffed as it took 30 minutes to make a steak and cheese sandwich for the only customer there. So if you need a room it is nice but don't expect food or an open restaurant on site.

The staff members were very helpful and the pool was an OK size for the kids. There's a small game room and workout room. The bar was a good size but we didn't eat at the restaurant. The lobby looks good but after that the hotel is SO outdated. Dark, dingy feeling hallways with old carpeting. Everything feels like it's from the 90's and our room smelt like stale cigarette smoke. No robes to use to get to and from the pool. There was a mini refrigerator, a microwave and a hair dryer (we didn't use any of them).The 'free' breakfast didn't taste good at all. Of the 5 of us, everyone left food on their plate and we ate elsewhere.We canceled our second night and stayed with friends instead.

Excellent, top notch hotel and people that work there. Amazing breakfast!! Our stay was 7 days long and everyday it seemed like the staff made sure our stay was perfect. The room we stayed in was great, it had a sitting area (living room) and the bedroom was off the sitting area. The make up of the room itself made the whole experience very pleasant. I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone that wants to feel like they're home while being away.

Check in and out was very quick and easy. Staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. Hotel was very clean and quiet. Complimentary breakfast included a full breakfast of hot and cold choices. Best part was dogs are allowed and you can request to stay a little past check out for no extra cost. Which was great for us due to getting in late from a very long drive and didn't want to rush to leave in the morning.

Q3082UVedp, Dummerston, Vermont 01/12/2019

What I love about this hotel is the staff, cleanliness, beds, breakfast, and many other amenities. I have stayed here over 10 times for different hockey tournaments with my kids and it is always great. The breakfast is always really good, and has a lot of options for kids and a lot of fresh fruit and yogurt as well as 2 kinds of eggs and great bacon. The beds here are firm and they provide lots of pillows, which is how I like to sleep. Every interaction with the staff was pleasant and they always make sure you go away happy. It also is in a great location with a ton off food options 2 mins away, including 5 guys, panera, 99 restaurant and Chipotle.

We attend an annual conference every year with a large group of student leaders. There are over 500 young adults who attend this event and this hotel and their staff make it run smoothly every time. With a group this size, I'm always amazed at how clean the rooms and facilities are and the fact that they are able to accommodate the needs of our event. I've seen the same faces year after year and it's comforting to know what I can find Debi in the kitchen to ensure I have enough vegetarian meals for our students. Great hotel, great staff!

April, from banquets went over and beyond her responsibilities. I had told her that I loved iced coffee earlier in the day so when we regathered for a break (was attending a SkillsUSA leadership training), she had set up a bowl of ice and tall drinking cups so that me or anyone else who wanted to, could make an iced coffee. She did this on her on initiative. That's customer service at its best.

My associate and I attended a Nail Tech event the weekend of October 26 - 28. I have attended this event previously and a big part of the decision to return is the consistently exceptional service we receive in Marlboro, MA. Specifically, John, the front desk manager exceeds expectations at every turn - from providing us with water bottles, dinner suggestions, shuttle rides to explore the immediate area, etc. They had a full house on the weekend we were there this year and John had a lovely humour at every interaction. I'd also like to acknowledge the support of Debi, Food and beverage supervisor. Again, she went above and beyond in her support of us - from food sensitivities to the logistics of shipping and receiving at this location, she was knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks to everyone on the teams who contribute to making our events a success!

Ginny D, UK 19/10/2019

I think the hotel has some upgraded rooms, but our junior suite was not one of them. It was mainly clean but 'tired' for sure. The room was cleaned well for the first 6 days of our holiday (50th anniversary trip) but certainly not on the last two. We did inform reception when we left. Food choices were very average. It was OK but I wouldn't go again. Maybe it is more geared to conference facilities.

The quietest heater/air conditioner we've ever experienced - absolutely loved it. Property is in very good condition and rooms are up-to-date. Breakfast buffet is fine. We went during a busy weekend and paid close to $200 per night and felt that was a bit on the high side. It was one of the few available hotels close to Hampton, NH (an hour away). Would stay here again.

While the property has opportunities in its overnight experience (recycle bins in rooms, better (read: newer) linens), when it comes to service (calling out Cameron and Kath K on the desk and the wait staff in the restaurant the morning of September 10), Best Western Royal Plaza is top of line. I presented at a conference on the 10th of September and had to stay the night before. Not only was the set up for the event ideal for seating, equipment, and acoustics, the food served was terrific. Buffet cooking is not easy, and as someone with a lot of experience when it comes to hotel food, this is impressive. The rooms are spacious, and breakfast included, along with the staff service contribute to stays at this hotel being of good value.

It's a little confusing to find the entrance to this Best Western. Although you can see it from the road, up above the big shopping center, go past the stores. There you'll see their entrance sign. Everything else is perfect. Although it's a little old, the staff does a good job of maintaining the facility. Room —- clean, good bed, good shower, good amenities. Breakfast —- full buffet served in Zachary's restaurant. Plenty of staff to keep things clean and well stocked. Facilities —- they have an indoor pool without a hot tub, a well equipped workout room, and outdoor patio seating. Highly recommend.

The problem I encountered was people with dogs in the same wing and this caused me to have allergy and respiratory problems. there are several wings in the hotel and they could have a section just for people with pets that do not intersect with people without pets.

The BW Staff was outstanding, the room was clean, the bed was incredibly comfy, the bathroom was well stocked and the daily breakfast was delicious, offering two selections of scrambled eggs, a waffle station, yogurt, oatmeal and fresh fruit.

[8/8] My dad and I stayed in the same BW Royal Plaza Hotel on our way up to the Annual Winter Harbor Lobster Festival (& Acadia National Park), as we did in August 2017. Nice spacious foyer with a swimming pool, game room, fitness area, lounge, 2 restaurants, pretty much everything you need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of wheelchair accessible parking, easy entrance into the hotel lobby, and our wheelchair accessible room was the BEST I've stayed at any Best Western in the US or Canada...THIS room was done right (Thanks!)!. The complimentary breakfast was tasty & filling (we might have gotten it complimentary because I am a BW Rewards Member...free to join, so DO!). Very comfortable bed & pillows...I wish my bed and pillows at home were that comfortable. Very nice & helpful staff. My one area of improvement would be the on-site sports bar...there was a convention going on (same one as 2 years ago), and there appeared to be only 1 server for ALL the tables...so seating was slow, as was the service. Food wasn't bad tasting or bad priced, just slow service (which was weird considering that there was a convention going on, they could have had more restaurant Wait Staff for that weekend). Other than that, a very pleasant stay...I'm definitely looking forward to returning for another stay the next time I drive up to Maine, and would recommend others stay there too (join the BW Rewards program -- earn points for a free stay, etc.). Very nice! Go and enjoy!

I was here for the August 2019 NGH Conference, and arrived at about 4:00 am. Cameron greeted me and was able to secure a cart for me to unload my belongings. I was then able to bring them to my room. The staff at the front desk, housekeeping, and the restaurant were cordial and professional, able to respond to all my requests.

"Horrible staff and NON-WORKING PRINTER"

chen4069, Seattle, Washington 12/07/2019

I was trying to print two pages in their business center. The printer isn't working, no one can fix it. They asked me to email my doc to them so they'll print from their internal office. I said no because my doc has my DOB and SSN. They said then that's it, you either email us it or we can't print it. Both the young lady and the older front desk manager had this kinds shrugging-shoulder-don't-care-not-helping attitude. THEY DIDN'T EVEN SAY SORRY! I was very annoyed and I yelled at them that I PAID THIS AMENITY! Then I threatened to check out. It's late in the night, and to save myself some hassle. I calmed myself down, then compromised and went into their internal office, logged into my person email in their staff PC, and printed out those two pages. They finally said sorry, which was a big improvement in terms of their attitude. BUT overall the experience is horrible! They have a small one room so called "business center" with two PCs and one printer that doesn't work and they said no one could fix it before I leave tomorrow. ARE YOU JOKING? YOU CAN'T FIX A PRINTER???? As a customer who paid $200 buck, I had to sit in their internal office and print myself. So humiliating! And plus sometime no one answered phone call from the room at the front dest. The room and hallway are somewhat outdated, not horrible though. The printer and their initial attitude are the major minus. I WILL NEVER STAY AT THIS PALCE. My advice: for a few bucks more, choose a different hotel nearby.

We stay here every year for Amma's visit and, shortly after arriving, we discovered that our daughter's stroller had somehow gotten out of whack. It comes apart in two pieces and one of the slots on the top piece had somehow gotten turned in the wrong direction. Our five-year-old daughter has special needs and can't sit or stand on her own. Her stroller is essential to her getting around and without it she would have had a very difficult time being a part of the weekend. The front desk directed us to John, who brought us a screwdriver, then a set of allen wrenches, none of which worked. He then offered to take it to his shop, where he tried everything to get the slot to move. Drills, wrenches, you name it. It wouldn't budge. He brought it back with a simple suggestion that we could try ourselves, no tools required. It worked like a charm and our daughter experienced Amma with no limitations. Special needs kids (and adults) face obstacles every day. Thanks to John, there was one fewer obstacle for our daughter that weekend. He's good people. Please pass on our thanks to him. :)

Table doubled as a luggage rack. A three drawer chest with a micro/fridge. Large flat screen atop chest with 46-47 channels. Writing desk with swivel chair. Room is good size- much space to walk around. in/door carpet throughout. No closet, instead a wall mounted rack with eight wooden hangers. Iron/board. Folding metal luggage rack. A/C/heater was on when arriving, which needed to be turned off, room was cool. Unit's control's easy to use. Bathroom; A tub/shower. Hot water for shower in 12 seconds-good speed for six floor facility. Bottles of shampoo, lotion & conditioner. A shower cap. Shower head is adjustable with very safe water for face & body. Full length counter & mirror. Hair dryer, however cord is short. No problem as I always bring my dryer. Coffee maker. Plenty of towels. Tile floor. Both sleeping & bath very clean. Breakfast: Hours 6:30-10:30. A staff of five people are available for helping. Two waggle maker-a steamer for warm maple syrup. Steamers for rolled blueberry pancakes, bacon, home fries-hash browns- scrambled eggs & eggs of the day-scrambled eggs, ham, cheese & peppers-very good. Juices-orange, strawberry KIWI, citrus & peach.. Regular & decaf coffee. Fresh sliced melon, pineapple, cantaloupe & hard boiled eggs. Rack of bananas. Cooler for yogurt. Pastries of muffins, bagels & three types of bread with rolling grill. The breakfast room is huge. Counted over 24 tables, 10 booths & 4 combo booth & tables. One staff will ask how many in a group & direct to their seating. Each morning I was what drink would I prefer. On check-in a guest will be given a breakfast coupon for each day staying. Guests will be greeted by a three section revolving door with regular door for using 1 of 6 luggage carts. There is arcade room with eight games, coin changer & soda machine. The facility's indoor pool is just down the hall from the arcade, with two connecting sections-adult & children. The children's section has handicapped lowering seat. Plenty of towels. Next door is the fitness center. The facility's restaurant is called the All-star Bar & Grill. Menu looked appetizing, however prices are expansive. The quest computers are located in the business room, down the hallway from the front desk, two computers & printer. In this area is a separate lounge with comfort chairs & small couches. One word can describe this Best Western-HUGE. Huge check-in desk, lobby, lounge, guest rooms Parking lot. Total number of guest rooms is 431. Four elevator, each on the some what noisy side with overhead speakers playing instrumental music. John gave me shpt tour of the first floor explaining about the facility's number of conference & lecture rooms, one reason for the huge parking lot. This B.W. is NOT located on 181 Boston Post Road W./R20, but at the end of Royal Plaza Drive which is just west down the hill-on the right-from a shopping plaza. This plaza has the following restaurants: Chipotle Mexican Grill, Boston Market, McDonald's, Longhouse Steakhouse, Five Guy's Burgers, & Japan One. Across Boston Post Road are more restaurants. The cleaning staff starts between 8:00 & 8:30. My cleaning staff lady was Charilo (S). She did an excellent job. If staying the future I hope she will be my cleaning staff member. There is one small factor that a first time guest must be aware of-nothing to do with the motel. Halfway on Royal Plaza Drive right in front of the Royal Plaza Trade Center is a large speed bump. A person will be unaware of the bump until almost right on top of it. There small signs warning of the bump, however much larger signs at least 75 feet before the bump would be helpful. The first encounter took me by surprise. Just be aware of the bump's existence. I want to thank the following staff-Karth & Karthine, afternoon, Luke & Trishaal-afternoon & evening & John John-morning & afternoon. There was two other staff however never got their names. Wouldn't hesitate to stay in the future. Factors: location-being off Boston Post Roads was quiet, clean room, the huge breakfast & staff.

"Very Good Deal"

oswel, San Francisco, California 04/07/2019

We were pleasantly surprised to discover a decent hotel west of Boston that was under a hundred dollars a night. Our room was spacious, quiet, and clean. The complimentary breakfast buffet was better than most. I was at first disappointed to see no hot choices besides oatmeal, but then realized that there was another serving area on the opposite wall with eggs, breakfast meat, and waffles. For some reason, the hotel's computer wouldn't accept any of our credit or debit cards, so we ended up paying with cash, but Kath at the front desk was very helpful in navigating us through this unexpected turn of events. The drive into Boston can be long and tedious during rush hours, but if you're visiting areas in Boston's western suburbs, this is a very good choice. It's near several major freeways but just far enough from them that you won't hear any traffic noise. There are convenience shopping options nearby, as well as in downtown Marlborough..

We were on vacation and actually had a reservation at another hotel about 15 minutes away. We found the other hotel was run down and less than acceptable and decided to leave there. We called Best Western and thier friendly staff set us up at the last minute in a very nice pet friendly room at an excellent price. The room was very clean and the hotel had great amenities. I would highly recommend this Best Western location to vacationers and business travelers alike.

I just want to thank Debi Webb for her superb customer service!! To make a long story short there was a kids expo on Saturday, March 30 which happened to be my stepdaughter's ninth birthday Well Ella Anderson was there who plays Piper, the sister on the Henry danger show. This is a very popular program with kids So I called the hotel to find out exactly where she would be if they could be pictures taken etc. etc. we talked for 20 minutes and it was like we had known each other for ever she said I will find out and I will call you tomorrow. Honestly I thought to myself she's never going to call but at least I made the effort Well sure enough Debi Webb called me back and told me the time of where she would be I said I know that but I i'm looking to make my stepdaughter's birthday the best so she had an email that she gave me Of the people that were actually running the event and I was able to make an absolutely wonderful connection for my stepdaughter. We had such a wonderful experience at the hotel for the kids expo Debbie's customer service was outstanding and when I went to the front desk to ask if she was there They said no. But I introduced them to my stepdaughter to them and told them by her made her a very happy girl and they all gave Debbie web excellent accolades!!!

On the spur of the moment we decided to go to Boston for the weekend. We were not aware that it was marathon weekend, the local hockey team and basketball team were both in the playoffs and playing at home. We did know the Red Sox were home because we wanted to go to Fenway park. To say it was crowded would be an understatement. It was hard to find a hotel. But we got lucky. It's not in town. Bur it was reasonable and more than nice. The breakfast was great. The breakfast staff were very nice, in particular Ayaan and Jeff. In addition the bartender Matt went out of his way to help us plan our next day's itinerary and helped select the best available stubhub seats at Fenway. The front desk person Cameron (?) printed out maps and gave helpful advice. The facility was really nice, the breakfast was great and the staff were the best! Thanks to you all!!

We hold our annual trade show and convention at the Royal Plaza Trade Center every year. The people who run the Hotel and Trade Center could not be any more accommodating.The hotel staff, catering and Trade Center employees continually go over and above to make us feel welcome and provide us with exemplary service. Many of our attendees commented on how great the food and service was. A special shout out to Debi Webb who always works hard to make our stay enjoyable. Looking forward to next year.

I had pleasure of staying at the Best Western from March 1-3rd. The staff was accommodating and truly professional. I would like to say that Debi Webb went above and beyond.

Great place for a convention. The staff is very attentive. The space lends itself well to adapting to the needs of the convention. My only negative comment is around the price increase on the food when the convention is onsite.

The Best Western was very nice. I was there for a business training and I really enjoyed the past 3 days I spent there for the training.

I was recently here for a conference that was sold out. The hotel did a very poor job of supplying enough staff to accommodate everyone. Some staff members also need to receive some sensitivity training. If you asked some of them for something, they made you feel as if you were bothering or disturbing them. I can't see myself coming back to this particular Hotel.

Stayed overnight for a trade show at the Royal Plaza Trade Center next door. Very comfortable well designed hotel with good beds, WIFI, and a good place for a conference. Good breakfast buffet included in the reasonable room rate. Good service in the bar and restaurant and a nice seating area to hang out in in the lobby. Hotel staff was very helpful to everyone during a major snow and ice storm, many good restaurants nearby--everything from Chinese food to Panera--hotel is right next to the ramp to I-495.

KCandJP, Long Island 06/12/2018

This is probably one of the best smelling hotels I've stayed in. I know that's odd but it stood out. The fitness center was also better than average. Went for a conference and one day they ran short of food! Everything else was average except after I checked out I realized I left my phone charging cord in the room. I went to the front desk and they sent someone to look for it. They couldn't find it but thought housekeeping may have already taken it but they couldn't contact them. After several days of me calling and leaving messages w/o any response they said the maid did take it and they will mail it to me. Weeks later I see they charged my credit card for the $3.50 postage without informing me. I think they should of at least mentioned it or better, absorbed the fee since I asked to check for the cord less than an hour after I checked out. Also, I left two separate voice messages for the manager Jeff Kerrigan to call me about a $30 rate increase on the second day of my stay that I was not previously made aware of but I never got a response.

Great location for my business travel. Room was in the quieter part of the hotel. Convenient to have breakfast and dinner for the two nights spent there. Had some issues that required some adjusting to the mixing valve and shower head. I notified the front desk about the issues. For the value of what theycharge per night, well worth the price.

capecodlobstahlovah, Mashpee, Massachusetts 13/11/2018

We stayed at the hotel and had a booth at the Natural Living Expo. The event center was set up perfectly and all staff members were so pleasant and helpful. Everything ran so smoothly, including the flow of traffic through the parking lot. Very thankful for the shuttle! The hotel is very nice with some great amenities. All hotel staff members were very friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast options at Zachary's were plentiful and delicious, including bacon, french toast, eggs, hash browns, fruit & more. I would have given five stars, except for the fact that we couldn't take a salt bath because the tub stopper didn't work, and the last night we were there the toilet broke. The fire alarm went off at 5:00 a.m. and we all had to leave our rooms & go in the parking lot. It was freezing outside so we stayed in my car to keep warm. It wasn't long before we were able to go back in, but had to stay in the lobby for a little while before we were allowed to go back to our rooms. Apparently there was smoke in the service elevator.

Ginely B, Rochester, United States 09/10/2018

I arrived to this hotel and was amazed by the size of the hotel. I was ecstatic by how affordable it was to stay at this Best Western. Hotel agent-Tiffany was amazing with Check-In and Check out with a professional and positive attitude. The room was comfortable, clean with all working amenities, pillows were a bit tiny but they were still comfortable. It had an awesome view on the 6th floor. Breakfast was a bit different at this location with wait staff at your service with beverages however it was still a buffet style breakfast full of variety!. A disadvantage to breakfast was that some of the items were Luke-warm or cold such as eggs or bacon. Please keep in mind that this breakfast was in restaurant rather than the hotel's own continental style breakfast.The pool in this location was a bit small for a sizable hotel but it still served a purpose. No laundry center in this location so pack extra clothes if necessary.This location was very close to two or three different malls so you had options everywhere.

Stayed at this hotel for a convention. Very helpful people at the front desk. The rooms have all been redone. Very nice breakfast buffet. The staff was very helpful whenever we needed anything during the convention. The restaurant was very good. Didn't really need to leave the site.

I stay at the Best Western every summer as part of a convention. The staff here went out if their way to take care of me, from the front desk staff, yo my newly renovated, out if the way room I was assigned, and especially the restaurant staff headed by a wonderful and effectively proficient lady, Deb Webb, who really stepped up to insure things were fantastic! Thanks to all! See you next year!

Stayed overnight courtesy of Aer Lingus cancelling flight. Many thanks to Chris Pascarelli at reception who went above and beyond securing us transport back to Boston Logan.

The hotel is for all intensive purposes not that bad however, I just had an encounter with bedbugs. I woke up at 2:30am with what felt like something falling off my back. I tuned the light on and discovered some sort of bug on the pillow and sheets where I was lying. I smashed a couple and they were full of blood. Now all my luggage and clothes need to be cleaned or thrown away. They gave me a different room and comped my stay but I never went back to sleep in there bed.

Had one of the best stays at this hotel the staff was very friendly and helpful! Had one issue with our keys not working through the day and getting very frustrated going back to reactivate the key. Special thanks to Jonathan and Luke for accommodating us in a professional and friendly manner. The location is very convinient with many restaurants and attractions in close distance ! The house keeping staff is phenomenal with keeping up with its rooms. As well as the breakfast is well served with friendly staff always smiling! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING HERE !

Excellent hotel, very nice for the price. The woman [Sandy] who was running the included breakfast buffet is top notch. She was extremely courteous, and despite having nearly a dozen people to attend to, gave personal attention to each diner - refilling coffee, juice, water multiple times. She is truly outstanding!

Johnathan at check-in was the most professional and knowledgeable individual I have ever seen at a hotel. He is so Pro Best Western and obviously very proud to work there. Sandy (I believe it was Sandy, she is from Wesllesly) in the restaurant exhibited this same enthusiasm. Two awesome employees! I was up north to bury my father and their wonderful attitude was refreshing. The room was great, WIFI perfect and probably one of the best breakfast I've ever had in a hotel.

"Best experience with hotel staff ever!"

User 20/08/2018

I was surprised as to how helpful and patient they were with me. I called numerous times prior to check in since my family drove into town earlier than expected. The staff gave me estimated time that a room might be available and not once showed attitude towards me when calling. They offered suggestions on places I can go in the meantime if waiting in the lobby would not be an option I wanted to consider. When we finally arrived I had yet another request and that was to include my father in law on the same floor. They were super accommodating. The hotel itself is huge and is walking distance to shopping centers and restaurants. If you have kids you can take them to the funplex across the street. Sadly I was too occupied trying to get all 4 of my kids from trying to check the amenities the hotel offers that I did not write names aside from Debi (restaurant) of what I think has been the friendliest of hotel staff I have had the pleasure to come across in all of our 14 years of family travels. There really was no need to leave the hotel unless to tour the city. The restaurant located in the lobby serves amazing food, the wait staff is incredible and knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and tourist must sees. The hotel offers a buffet style breakfast that fits pretty much every foodie. This hotel has us wanting to make the two day drive to Massachusetts once more.

So grateful Knights Shuttle service had been good waiting for me. Thank goodness for John and his front office team.... Reception was great, friendly and gave me lots of little things to survive .... deodorant, toothbrush and paste, and reassurance that i could have a courtesy car in the morning to take me to the mall to buy some clothes and necessities. and they collected me and brought me back. Thankyou JoJo for that. I had a convention to attend, I was a speaker next day and I looked smart thanks to your BW team

I recently spent five nights here and had a very enjoyable stay. The rooms were large, comfortable, and clean. Both the wifi and air conditioning worked perfectly and it was nice to have wifi everywhere in the hotel. The pool was nice and refreshing and there were plenty of towels at all times. The staff was exceptionally friendly. Checkin and checkout were quick and easy and the staff both times were friendly and engaging. There are plenty of restaurants within a five minute drive. The Best Western was easy to find and right off the freeway.

"Missing the Mark"

3
John C, Kirkland, Canada 02/08/2018

Last week, I had occasion to spend three nights at the Best Western Royal Plaza while attending a convention at the hall located next door. While this is far from a bad property, it missed the mark several times during my stay. For instance, several staff members assigned to positions requiring them to interact with guests spoke little or no English. Conveying even simple requests became exercises in frustration more than once. When a late checkout was requested Sunday morning, I was one of several guests denied the courtesy, meaning it was necessary to have everything packed up by 11:00 am. That necessitated doing so prior to attending the convention Sunday. To say the least, the denial of late checkouts caused an inconvenience for several attendees. Other things also failed to convey that this hotel should be considered as a premium property. Staff attire is more in keeping with a budget motel than a hotel catering to business clientele. As well, the presence of contracted security personnel in baggy uniforms also reminds one of a motel in need of security to keep rowdy guests in check. In short, to be competitive, this BW needs to address some finer points while also updating many things on the property such as noisy and slow elevators and dated decor. While this property offers a good location, one might want to consider alternatives in the same area.

Carol J, St. Paul, MN 29/07/2018

Stayed here July 25-29 during a hockey tournament. Rooms were very nice as they have recently been redone. You can tell this is an older property but it is being updated, very nicely. Every staff member we dealt with was absolutely wonderful. They had the best breakfast I have had at any hotel. We were seated in the restaurant at tables and it was set up buffet style, which worked wonderfully. There was not getting a tray of food and then standing around waiting for a table. The only complaint I do have are the beds. The beds are only doubles and very tiny, especially if 2 adults or teenagers need to share. There was also a convention of some sort and figure skating event going on at the same time and it never felt overcrowded.

I worked with the staff to hold my parent's 50th anniversary party there. Jennifer was excellent to work with and went through in detail all the costs ahead of time and always answered any questions I had leading up to the party. There were no hidden costs or surprises. The prices were reasonable for the room and food. Out of town family that stayed there told me that the breakfast provided was excellent and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The food for the event was delicious. The staff even helped us take group pictures and videos, which was really nice. I could not have been happier with the venue, the staff, or the food. The only complaint was that we couldn't take any extra food home- it was really good!

I have to say that my stay here was wonderful! The room was very clean, spacious, updated, and very well appointed. This is a pet friendly hotel and it was great seeing dogs here and there. The complimentary breakfast is great with hot and cold selections, fresh fruit, juices, etc. But they are sticklers about closing everything down at 11:00. You start getting the hairy eyeball when you come down close to 10:30. The breakfast is well worth it! I would have given 5 stars but for the following items: Hallways are extremely hot and steamy. Not a big deal since you're not hanging out in the hallways. Right? The elevators are devastatingly SLOW! So, yeah, you are hanging in the hallways waiting. The WiFi is not dependable. I was unable to make calls most of the time. Great experience!

This Best Western is nice. Rooms kind of outdated but it has a great lobby with a restaurant/bar area and arcade and pool. Free breakfast was nice to have included. The wireless internet isn't great.

"Hockey tournament stay"

304AndreaH, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada 28/05/2018

We stayed this past weekend for a hockey tournament. This is the perfect hotel to stay if you are attending a tournament. The staff is absolutely amazing, everyone seemed happy to be there from front desk staff to servers in breakfast and supper restaurants. Most importantly they were patient and understanding with the many children staying there that needed to roam around and burn off energy. They gave us a room to use for our pizza party and when the pizza delivery guy forgot plates and napkins the staff were more than happy to get some for us! Security was also great and friendly to parents who were drinking in the lobby, they had no issue with it and were happy to come chat with us. Hotel is a bit dated but you can see they are undergoing renovations and I look forward to seeing it when they are completed. That being said I hope that there are some plans for the pool area, I found it to be very dark and dingy (and quite small for such a large hotel). The breakfast buffet was wonderful! Yummy, hot food and fresh fruit and muffins. Cannot say enough good things about the amazing staff in the breakfast area. We only ate one night in the restaurant but it was yummy. We had nachos and it was more than enough for two. My son ordered the spaghetti and meatballs which was a great portion size. My daughter wanted a grilled cheese but it wasn't on the menu, when requested the server was more than happy to oblige. Again great service! Very happy with this hotel, if you are looking for something fancy you may want to go elsewhere. But if you are looking for great service this is the right place.

Great place to stay . We rolled up at late at night without a booking after a long flight (from the Uk )and drive , the staff fitted us in with a smile and luckily the restaurant in the lobby was also open late until 11 , so we got the chance to eat delicious hearty American food . Clean spacious room ... good wifi and bedding and tv channels!! Good breakfast choices and lovely staff always attentive and helpful. The hotel needs abit of a facelift in the lobby , but it has a heart. Thanks we will stay again if visiting .

Great hotel. Everyone I met who worked there was friendly and seemed happy to be there. I recall “big”John, “little” John, Renee, as well as the hostess in the restaurant Saturday night , and the breakfast buffet guy with an Eastern European accent (didn't catch their names). All went above and beyond making sure things went smoothly and their guests were happy, They were all truly outstanding. Rooms were nice, breakfast buffet great. For what I spent on a room, I did not expect such a great experience.

Was a great weekend here, I can see the building was undergoing a remodel but our room looked brand new right down to the carpets. Was an easy check in by John very pleasant fellow.They had a great breakfast buffet. We did not eat dinner there but spend both nights in the bar with Mark the bartender he was great, very friendly and took care of us, asked about our day. Even helped us find dinner places close by. Like to come back after the remodel but would stay here again

I was here for 2 nights with family attending a function for a family member that has been a priest for 50 years. I could see that they where doing updates , but the rooms looked new and very comfortable. We only had breakfast there and it was a good selection, we did not eat at the restaurant but did stop in the bar both nights. and was always greeted by Mark the bartender with a smile and a interest in our day. The crowed at the bar was mixed with some very odd and rude people dressed in leather vests. I'm guessing from to much to drink before they got there. but Mark apologized for there behavior and asked if there was anything else he could do. all and all a pleasant stay with an easy check in and out by the front desk

Our check in is where we started the positive experience with Shadad. She was on point and even laughed at my jokes...that was a plus! The rooms were clean and looked like they had been upgraded. The hotel seems to be going through a whole upgrade. The folks at Zachary's Breakfast Cafe were AMAZING. Loved Ayaan and Jeff. They had great senses of humor and were wonderful both mornings. Thoroughly enjoyed them! Met Deb Webb (one of the managers) while we were hanging outside in the evening. She was down to earth and made sure that we were all being taken care of to our expectations and chatted with many of us to ensure our stay was going good. Overall I would definitely stay here again... Then there's Mark...the bartender...he is rude and his social skills are quite lacking. He couldn't seem to be able to crack a smile or even be polite in any shape sense or form. He also charged one person $7 for a draft beer and another $9. We discovered this when we were talking about how horrible he was. I personally ended up tipping him much less than I do normally (we tip 20%+ across the board) leaving him a dollar and he didn't even deserve that!! There was a large number of us as we were in a large group staying for the weekend. I can see being busy, but come on guy, at least joke around with us while trying to keep up. We are an easy going group and we were already being patient and laughing and joking around with each other since we hadn't been in the large group in a while. Mark also had that always angry face, which is maybe just him, but, he definitely needs some training in customer service. He was cocky, rude and to be honest, the second night, I didn't even patronize the bar because of his service the night before. I know many in our group (which numbered about 150) did not as well and opted to have a room party instead. You really should consider letting Mark go or cutting his salary or sending him through Service Excellence training of some sort. He is the ONLY negative thing I can say about the location. Ample parking Clean Great reception and in Zachary's we loved Ayaan and Jeff! Close to many restaurants and stores Comfortable bed and bedding Refrigerator and coffee maker in the room Plenty of rooms for large groups Only one wish to make it better for anyone... FIRE MARK THE BARTENDER!

Arkatini, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 10/05/2018

With having so many (newer) hotels in the area, I would probably not stay here again, or at least until their renovations are complete. The room was okay for a one night stay, but the lobby is extremely dated and features "Don't mind the dust" signs.

Ignored customers. Someone bought a round of drinks, but this bartender never gave that individual a drink. One price for male customers and a higher price for females. Should not be a bartender not customer friendly.

Stayed here for on night after a group function. Quick check in and out. Friendly staff. Nicely appointed room and good wifi. Enjoyed drinks in the bar and had supper in the restaurant on site. Pasta was very tasty and salad bar was well stocked. Breakfast was included and offered many delicious choices. Many thanks to Breakfast staff Heather, Alyson and Ali for a great start to our morning. Would definitely recommend this place and would stay again if ever in the area.

I had to comment on what was a great bar and bartender here at this hotel. I was there for a few nights and me and the wife stop, at the bar. it was a very busy place and Mark the bartender had his hands full. Not only was he serving a lot of people but the other bartender, a short dark haired girl, was asking him how to make drink after drink. when it was our turn my wife did not know what she wanted and I felt bad for him but he smiled and took the time to ask here what kind of liquor she liked and if she liked sweet or spicy drinks. Well he made her this French Martini he had on special and she loved it. So I had to write and commend him for his patents and service. he could have said he would come back, but he did not, and made us feel like we where the only ones there. well done true customer service

V9331PVTraveler, Fairhaven, Massachusetts 16/04/2018

We were given a 6th floor room, upon exiting the elevator, we saw large piles of laundry thrown on the floor in the hallway as well as another pile of rags. These remained there overnight into the next morning, even though I saw a worker call in the mess on her walkie talkie shortly after we checked in, no one ever picked it up. The room was ok, although the rug had numerous stains in it. One bad thing was the bath tub area, there was no rubber mat for the tub to keep one from slipping in it, also no grab bars are mounted as well. I slid down the tub while showering due to this dangerous situation. I called own to housekeeping to see if they had rubber mats and no one ever answered the phone, so I tried the front desk. There only advise was to put a bath towel on the bottom of the tub. I was concerned because my wife recently had knee surgery and I did not want her to fall while showering. Another area of concern was the "free" breakfast buffet. We arrived and went over to the bank of coffee pots to get a cup. All three regular pots were empty, there was a worker right there who said she was going to get new refills, it never happened, the whole time we were at breakfast they remained empty? To get a coffee you had to get a waiter to retrieve it for you. thereby almost forcing you to leave a tip for him or her. For the price paid, the service quality could have been much better than provided.

"Needs a Major Facelift!!"

chieffo, new york 25/03/2018

We stayed at this hotel for a hockey tournament. To begin, the hotel needs a major facelift. It's dirty and dated. The chairs in the lobby were dirty and stained. The elevators were pretty slow. Our room was not any better. It was a decent size but again, dated! We had a room with 2 double beds, which were comfortable but way too small. There was 3 of us in the room. Myself, my husband and 14 year old son. We had to get a cot because 2 of us could not fit in the bed and we are not big people. We found 3 empty cans of soda under the bed. The smoke detector is installed right over the beds with bright light, who would do that? The mini refrigerator was on the floor with a microwave on top of it. The cabinet that the TV was in was broken and if you blew on it, it probably would have collapsed. And the coffee maker was in the bathroom!!! Gross

"Nice, clean, old style atrium conference hotel"

Frank B, Chelmsford, Massachusetts 25/03/2018

We stayed here when the weather forecast called for lots of snow and my wife had a conference at the hotel. The lobby and entrance were undergoing renovations and we had to use the side entrance. That would have been OK but there were a few smokers puffing away so the entryway wreaked of cigarettes. Once inside, we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel was a very attractive conference center. The atrium made us think of older Hilton-style atrium hotels. The front desk clerk was fantastic and she was able to retrieve our old BW loyalty number. She also upgraded our room (yeah!). Our room was on the second floor at the end of the hall where there was no heat. We noticed that the hotel offices used former guest rooms that overlooked the atrium while our room overlooked the parking lot. Our room was very large and reasonably well-appointed. We got the room temperature up to where we like it. The only downside to the room was that we found a cigarette lighter under a chair - a sign that the housekeeping could up their game a little. The bathroom was spacious and the toiletry items are just OK - about what we'd expect for a BW. I went out looking for a bottle of Dasani and was dismayed to see every vending machine I visited was either out of service or Dasani was sold out. The thing that made our stay the most enjoyable was the free breakfast in the restaurant. The eggs were amazing(!) and the variety of items was first rate. This hotel is not the Ritz, but it is clean, well-priced and very convenient for the conference trade.

"Unfriendly Bar Tender"

User 23/03/2018

I want to first say that almost all of the people I encountered at the hotel were most accommodating and the room was beautiful! I am not the type to leave a bad review but the experience I had with a bartender named Mark was inexcusable! My company booked a few rooms for the well water convention and we arrived Friday night. Once we were settled into out rooms we went to get a drink at the bar. The first bar tender I encountered was Rene, she was personable and took care of me in a quick fashion even though it was a bit crowded. My issue occurred when my boss asked me what I was drinking, I responded rum and coke. He proceeded to order a round of drinks for all of us. When I tasted it I realized it was not Captain and coke. I could not drink it so I returned to the bar and explained to Mark that I could not drink it, it wasn't his fault it was a mere communication issue and could I please have a Captain and coke. He seemed to have an attitude and violently poured it into the sink and started to pour me a new drink. I had felt like I had upset him. Then a fellow worker saw that I was having my drink replaced and asked for the same (he was drinking Captain also). This is when it was very apparent that my first read on this bartender was correct! He definitely had an attitude! I was made to feel bad and so I said if it's that big of a deal we will pay for "his" drink thinking I was getting my as a replacement. My fellow worker produced his credit card and the nasty bar tender snatched it from his hand an charged him for BOTH drinks!!! My fellow worker commented on our treatment (with words I will not repeat) and so we stayed clear of Mark for the rest of the night! I at some point felt so wronged I mentioned what happened to one of the other bartenders and they in turn let Debi the manager know how we felt we were treated. Debi found us and questioned us about our experience and apologized for the bartender's behavior. Everyone can have a bad day at work once in a while but if your in a customer service business you need to make sure it doesn't reflect onto your customers!!

We were down there in January for a Hockey tournament the organization has stayed there for many years. We have stayed there for many years for Winter and Summer Hockey. I called a few days late because of family emergency and was not given the group discount. Was told we would get rate couple dollars more day was ok with that . After getting the copy of being billed it was considerably more. Called another Hotel just infront of the Best Western and without a group discount was much cheaper...

A friend and I stayed here as we passed through New England. It was my birthday when we checked in. The front desk person noticed when I gave him my ID so he upgraded us to a fancier room. The room was clean, all devices/appliances worked well. There were ample electric outlets in convenient places to charge our personal devices. The towels were not stiff from over washing. We did not try the restaurant but they have one. Very convenient to route 9 which can get you to great shopping and fun!

I spent 3 days at the BW Royal Plaza Hotel last week and as I was ready to depart the security system on my vehicle would not deactivate which left me and 4 others stranded. While we waited for arrangements to be made the staff(esp. Debi Webb) made the dreadful situation quite pleasing. No one ever likes breaking down away from home but I must say that I am glad it happened because we would not have been able to be the recipients of such remarkable and genuine hospitality from the BW staff. I would recommend this establishment to any and all. Thank you Best Western.

I didn't stay at the hotel but I was there over superbowl weekend for First Event. During this event the place is packed and the bar tender Mark was busting his butt all weekend while dealing with other not nice impatient customers. The food at the restaurant is great too. I love that First Event is at this hotel, close by from where I live in Worcester which is great. I love going down on non event weekends just to see the bar tender Mark. Friendly guy and makes great drinks. Chris G.

If you are contemplating booking this hotel let this be the review that makes you book. I am a very picky critic of hotels. They are expensive so we should get what we want, right? The hotel is good... but what we enjoy is Jeff the waiter at Zachary's in the hotel. He has helped us every year when we come down! He remembers you and is the most friendly, funny, efficient server I have encountered ever! Also the hostess Ali is great as well. They make you feel so important when you come in. I can't say enough great things about Jeff so if you stay here, ask for him by name! As far as all the talk about theft in the hotel... personally I am not buying it. We were gone most of the weekend and I left my pocketbook in the room with my money and medicine (not the smartest but I didn't have a lot of cash) but it's never been touched. In fact, I left my pocketbook in the breakfast area last year and the employees hunted me down and made sure I got it back immediately. GM if you read this please make sure Jeff knows how much my family appreciates his great work ethic... he's such an asset to Best Western!!!

We checked the room and later searched at home just in case there was an error. No Rings! I called the hotel to report the items missing and was bounced from the front desk to a housekeeping manager's voicemail. My message has not been returned.

We spent three nights as it was close to family events and highways -- Routes 20, 495, 90, 95 and 9. Facility has a pool, though it's small. Overall, a nice place to stay.

"Worst customer service I have ever encountered..."

1
Boston_2_Ibiza, Worcester, Massachusetts 03/01/2018

WARNING: Prepare to be ignored, dismissed, and lied to by multiple staff, including management, if you have any kind of issue here at this hotel!! I have been staying at this hotel once a year for the past few years and I had observed the management system consistently decline year after year. Unfortunately, this year's visit included an item of mine being stolen. This is when the nightmare began. From the moment I realized my item was missing, I experienced a complete lack of concern or caring from hotel staff and management. Heard many false promises and "your issue is very important to us," but it took over a week of daily phone calls and emails before my issue finally reached a manager. I was never able to reach the GM, though he seems to reply to posts here... I spoke to the Rooms Manager, who was filling in for the GM. He gave me wonderful lip service and I believed he genuinely cared. He promised to expedite my issue of theft and find a resolution. But it still took a MONTH before we reached a resolution (weeks would pass in between emails, which STILL flabbergasts me). As of the time of this post, our agreed upon resolution has still not happened. I have since sent several additional emails and voicemails to this Rooms Manager without so much as one response. I'm literally one step away from taking this to small claims court! In my entire life, I have never encountered a hotel that is this disorganized and mismanaged. My stolen item is just one part of my recent experience at this hotel... the management also allowed a extremely unsafe situation to escalate to the point of physical and verbal assault of guests without appropriately providing security. No decent hotel would ever allow theft or violence to go unaddressed or to not fulfil an agreed-upon resolution. Needless to say, besides taking this hotel to small claims court, I will never stay at this hotel ever again. To the GM (because I'm sure you would see this), I welcome an immediate discussion to rectify this situation.

Christine T, Kirkland, Canada 31/12/2017

This hotel exceeded our expectations. Best breakfast buffet I've had at a Best western in a while- diverse items every day, caring and helpful staff. Place, though pretty much deserted at this time of the year (this is a convention hotel), was beautifully decorated and staff was helpful. We had a problem with the heater in our room but it was fixed right away. Beds are a bit old, but were basically comfortable and room was very clean.

James W, Amherst 26/12/2017

We were there for Christmas Eve so we could visit relatives in the area. The staff onsite were very nice but our overall assessment of the hotel would be somewhat skewed as they were minimally staffed since there weren't many guests. Our room had two double beds and was a good size. The TV had plenty of channels. The included breakfast was very good. The room has an old school combination for the heater and A/C in the wall. It was effective but very noisy as it kicked on and off all night. The room also smelled like smoke even it it was non-smoking and we both awoke stuffed up. We reported it to the front desk when leaving and they said that housekeeping would check into it. Other than that, our stay was fine but the hotel seems to be in a bit of a time warp.

Recently stayed here for two nights while attending an event at the adjacent Expo Center. Room was clean and expansive. Nice bathroom and plenty of hot water. Good TV and plenty of charging outlets. We used one of the presentation rooms and it was very effective for several slide shows that we attended. Plenty of parking. The rate seemed reasonable for this type venue.

Impressive facility. Convenient location. Absolutely no road noise. Friendly and professional staff. Rooms were in very nice shape. Well-stocked bathroom with loads of towels and sundries. Hallway noise was minimal. Nice views from the top floor. Breakfast outstanding with ample options. Impressed and other chains should take note. Restaurant on premises with a great dinner menu. Good food and I'm picky. I was happy with the meals. Spent two nights there on business. A great hotel when you need to stay in the Marlborough, Massachusetts area.

this hotel needs to get face lift if it wants to continue to charge the prices they do I have been staying at this hotel twice a year for many years and I see it slipping in its quality. Extra outlets for patrons to charge more than one device, better lighting. newer heating and air conditioner units would help a lot. The convient location is compelling

Always a great time at the annual Natural Expo - the event is awesome - and at a really great venue. Room was fresh & updated - staff is always a pleasure. BUT SPECIAL KUDOS to Sandy, one of the waitresses in their in-house Sports Bar & Grill. It was so very busy at lunch - yet she was fast, efficient, and super-friendly. Great Service & Great Attitude - truly - better than some fancy places we've eaten in. Thank you Sandy - we're glad you were our waitress!

suwanatatnina2, NYC 14/11/2017

We stayed here on my husband's business trip. The hotel is conveniently located near the highway and walking distance to 2 nice plazas. My room had a great view of the plaza. The room is modern and nicely decorated. It is not first tiered as the Hyatt but it is good. We had dinner at Long Horn Steak which was nice. There is a supermarket, nail salon, dollars store etc. in the plaza thus you will not get bored. It was fun to see all kinds of activities from the room while my husband was at work. The sport bar restaurant in the hotel is a nice place to have a drink as well. I love the little garden with the seat in front of the hotel. The pool and the exercise room are nice as well. The game room is a great addition for the children. The breakfast is good with a variety of choices. The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful. Thank you both for the late check out. The elder John was so accommodating when I asked for changing to the plaza view room. Overall it was a nice stay. It is not a luxury hotel but it is a good value hotel. We would recommend this hotel for a great budget hotel with a nice room and great staff.

The check in was fast and the room was clean and comfortable. the breakfast buffet was better than i expected: eggs, waffles, bacon and potatoes. Also choice of bagels, oatmeal, yogurt and pastries. They had servers bringing your drinks and checking that everything is good. I would definitely stay again if needed.

The room was clean and spacious. The hotel was dated. The door would not close in bathroom in the fitness room. This is ridiculous. The restaurant did not offer non pork meat items in the breakfast menu. The staff was very nice both at the front desk and the maids. I would stay here again because I do not care much about the dated decor. The shuttle would not take us to Hudson.

I came here for a conference. It was such an amazing experience. The staff were wonderful, especially Debi. Everyone made you feel comfortable, they checked in to see if we needed anything. Thanks for a great experience. On another note: if you get a chance, definitely have the chocolate cake! Super moist and delicious!

This property is extremely nice with very comfortable but somewhat dated rooms. The breakfast buffet was one of the very best I've come across in any one of the hotels I've stayed at. It had great variety, was constantly refreshed and the staffed checking on you were amazing, spot on , kind and efficient. I was impressed and I was in the business for 20 years !!

"Hockey trip"

cacNy, ny 23/09/2017

Ok hotel- somewhat dated, some updates, large property. Location is good for NESC hockey. We wanted to bring in food for a team meal, & they would not allow it as they served food. They offered to provide, and coach agreed in order to have team together. Price was almost 300% of catering tray prices I found. Bathroom sink faucet is too short for the basin - one of my pet peeves. New carpet in rooms is good. There are also small fridges in the rooms which is nice. No microwave. Thermostat is old school unit, with push buttons for hi-lo & cool-heat. All in all not a bad hotel, but $139 seems high. If it were $110 I would feel much better about it. It did include a hot buffet breakfast which was better than most other included breakfast hotel options. Front desk and restaurant waitstaff were very considerate and accommodating.

We were on the last leg of our trip and looked to find a hotel in the area. Hard to see hotel being it is set back a bit but once found everything was fine. We ate in their restaurant that received bad reviews but we both had good meal and staff was very friendly. Breakfast was great and price for the stay was just right.

The staff was right there to offer assistance with any and all of the needs of the guests attending the convention.

I recommend the hotel for any kind of event.

Audrey P, Adams, MA, United States 15/09/2017

Overall, the stay was great. The service was amazing. The layout of the hotel is nice with a beautiful array of flowers around a fountain as you walk into the lobby. The room was very spacious and had all the amenities I needed (desk, microwave & fridge). The view wasn't anything spectacular, but it didn't take away from the room. When I couldn't log onto the internet at first, I was able to find the number to call and the general announcement gave me the link I needed, so I didn't need to talk to anyone for further instructions. I stayed in a king, and although the bed was very comfortable, there were six small square shaped pillows instead of full-size pillows. I would bring one from home next time. The staff in charge of the kitchen ensured that I had a vegan option during the conference, which was beyond what I normally get for service. The only other thing I noticed that bothered me was the smell of the cleaning products. It hit me as soon as I walked in the front door and overwhelmed me getting off the elevator in the hallway to my room. I guess that means they are doing a good job of cleaning, but it was tough on my senses during the stay. Great value hotel.

I live close to the Best Western so I never use the hotel per se, but my neighbors and I have dinner at All Star almost weekly. The quality of the food is surprisingly good, and the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, the star of the show Debi Webb has been absent recently. She can accurately be described as the "Hostess with the Mostest" and she makes guests feel welcome and at home. I want her back! It's just not the same without her.

Not a bad hotel but not worth the value. Food was good at the restaurant but breakfast was terrible. Pool was dirty both days. Kids rough housing and throwing footballs. Pretty sure one girl took a football to the face, blood everywhere. Not one staff member was around to help.

If this is the first time you are going to the Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center, you may find it is not so easy to locate the front door because of its fairly long and winding entry road. However, the hotel is modern and well-appointed. Its lobby is open, airy and well-maintained, and the front desk staff were friendly and efficient. I found the restaurant to be dark, and service was slow. True, it was a conference, but I'd have expected there to be more staff on for a larger number of guests. I am dairy-intolerant and ran into an issue with the first meal there - the menu did not mention that the item was made with cheese, though elsewhere on the menu cheese was commonly indicated. I had to refuse it and then wait for a menu and wait again for a new meal. My room was clean and fresh and maid-service was efficient. My main area of dissatisfaction was with the poor internet and cell phone service. The front desk's explanation was that they were a hotel made of 6 stories of concrete amidst the mountains - so if you are in need of constant communication through your cell phone, plan ahead for alternatives. I was only told as I was leaving that they would have allowed me to use the house phone at no charge (emergency circumstances back home...). Will I stay here again? Absolutely - but next time I won't get so frustrated at the poor internet and cell phone service.

Z2207NPangelab, South Weymouth, United States 23/08/2017

My room was excellent for my 8 day stay. The customer service was great. The restaurant had excellent food and service, I had the special on the two nights I ate there and loved each of them. The rooms were the most convenient I have had for a conference. The rec center and pool was inconvenient because you have to cross the lobby to get to them but I found a stairway to the second floor that got me around that. The buzzer to open the pool door is not clear from the inside to get out so that caused a moment of panic. Overall I was extremely happy with this hotel.

This BW hotel in Mass. is about 1/2 way between DC & Acadia National Park in Maine. HUGE wide open atrium with indoor pool and restaurants. I'm in a wheel chair, and the lobby and rooms were ABSOLUTELY wheelchair accessible. Fantastic breakfast. Used AAA-rate which was a great value. See if they offer AARP and/or Military discounts in addition to AAA. Accessible room is easy for elderly and/or those with major mobility problems to navigate (not true for all hotels) -- large bathroom with easy entrance door and handrails. The bed was very comfortable, good TV service and WiFi worked like a charm. I would definitely come back to this BW hotel.

"A real over priced dump"

alfredo773, Philadelphia, United States 18/08/2017

We had to stay here due to the Embassy nearby (which is great!) was full. Wow, did we regret it. The shortcomings were endless. The bldg looks like it was built once and beaten around for the past decades with no refurbish or TLC. They just let it slide downhill! 1. My door lock was broken. 2. One photo attached shows how the TV cabinet had a door ripped off. 3. The carpet and room felt filthy, to the point where we joked about how filthy the rooms were the next day only to find my work companion had actually slept in his clothes. 4. I kept my socks on rather than touch the carpet; no, I never do that! 5. The bar was dishevelled and chaotic; when I asked for a Scotch, the bartender, who boasted he did not drink, asked another if there was any Glenlivet because she had just poured some in a dirty glass. Yes, he said that. 6. The buttons on the phone were broken. 7. They charged $224 for the room, whereas they should have paid ME $244! Stay there at your own risk! It actually felt dangerous. Maybe best suited for college kid road trips where they trash the room and roam the halls in their shorts and flipflops.

GaryRCPC, Kingston, Canada 15/08/2017

For the NGH annual convention, the hotel is the experienced provider and was ready for action! The room was excellent, the service quick and dependable and courteous, and the food delicious. For us, the mini fridge and micro-wave allowed us to have meals in-room easily and inexpensively as there were grocery store and fast foods in the nearby plaza within easy walking distance. an extended stay was more comfortable due to the hair dryer and ironing board and iron, and we enjoyed the option of bed and towel changes as we wanted, not necessarily every day. Nine nights passed wonderfully.

The most economical really good hotel within a hundred miles. It sits back off the road and is a chore to find in the dark but is worth the search. The bed was top quality and the room was quiet.

Rodney Brian U, rancho palos verdes, United States 22/07/2017

My family of four stayed at this hotel for a week. We were initially worried about a group they hotel had booked as they were some sort of rockabilly car club. Their language was attrocious for my pre-teens and the smoked everywhere. Thankfully, they were mostly gone by the morning. As for the hotel...very comfortable, but in need of re-model. Service was excellent and breakfast was excellent. Our room had a small, high window that you could not see out of which made the room dark and feel a bit like a jail cell (though, I've never spent the night in a jail cell). The beds were comfortable and room was clean. I would highly recommend this hotel for a family or vacation, but not for romance.

User 21/07/2017

We attended a weekend long event on site and although the property size was able to handle the event, the staff was very overwhelmed. The bar had reduced itself to a limited menu for the entire weekend due to the hotel being busy, which in turn made ordering for the whole weekend difficult. The restaurant/bar staff was completely stressed out and the kitchen was always backed up, even with such a limited menu. I also was not allowed to have a late check out due to the hotel being to busy. I requested that upon check in and was told I had to ask morning of check out and when I called at check out they again said no. The hotel was well aware of the event and how many people would be staying all weekend and they were still not staffed adequately, that was disappointing.

Bill V, Brookfield 19/07/2017

Normally I stay just outside the Boston area. For some reason most hotels were sold out that night or if they had a room the cost was outrageous. So I searched farther west of Boston and found this Best western in Marlborough. I had to travel farther than I wanted but this hotel was a good find

rickskinner60, General Manager at Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center, responded to this review
We are happy that our hotel was able to accommodate your stay when Boston was booked up! Our hotel offers free wifi which is perfect for business travelers like you, as well as complimentary breakfast each morning. Safe travels! Rick Skinner General Manager

The service was very good and personal. Restaurant and bar service were notably good. The elevators were slow and they were not working right. Our room was nice and clean. One of the nicest Best Western!

I recently stayed at the this location and was so delighted to be able my partner in crime Minnie!!! Deb and her staff go above and beyond! The rooms are clean and the hotel bar has a fun and friendly vibe. The chef Patrick makes chicken fingers in house and they are scrumptious!! Mamadou, Jim and the rest of the bar staff provide stellar customer service and make one hell of a cocktail!!! I cant wait to return next year!!!

If you are traveling with a dog, rest assured that this hotel is really a pet friendly one! No ridiculous weight or breed restrictions and no additional fees. I was very happy that the hotel staff treated my dog as a guest too! THANK YOU for a happy experience!!

Longest waits and worst attitude from bar staff. Terrible food with long waits. Many reviews about these same issues. Throw in 1 of 4 or 5 elevators in working condition and you have headaches waiting

We sincerely apologize for your recent experience at our property. While the restaurant is located at the hotel, it is not affiliated with our property.

This hotel goes above and beyond expectation when it comes to customer service. We have held a karate tournament and banquet at this facility over the past several years. Debi Webb has overseen this event each year and has been instrumental in making it run flawlessly every time. She makes our guests feel like family, and we love that they want to come back to our events. The wait staff in the banquet hall are wonderful and work tirelessly to provide great service. Jeff is a favorite server of ours in both the banquet hall and the restaurant - always smiling and making sure he is providing the best service. The bartenders handle our guests so well, and the front desk staff are super helpful to our guests.

This place is our home away from home for the past 7 years. The International Kenpo Council of Grandmasters appreciates loyalty, and the BW hasn't let us down. Once again Debi Webb pulled off a wonderful day and night, with a touch of professionalism, class and a great personal touch. I'm telling you, you people would be lost without her...

Chris went above and beyond when I had s broken lock, was patient with all the guests and kind, I could see Chris going far with the company and should train/lead others on the staff - he is an asset; Sean was welcoming and pleasant and a great bartender; the server for lunch time in lounge (she's from Hudson I remember) went above and beyond when I had an order cooked incorrectly - she made sure everything was correct and made sure I was pleased with the outcome. The complimentary breakfast is beyond what you'd expect, and there's a gym on the premises. I'll definitely be back.

"Security for children"

KimGrimes, Hampton Bays 29/05/2017

We were there for a hockey tournament and the first notice we see is NO HOCKEY STICKS OF ANY SIZE. While I understand playing hockey in a hall, or in the lobby, they are 9/10 years old...give them a room to play in!!! Or don't host the tournament! security was ALL OVER the kids...it felt like school...walk, walk, walk. I am already all over my kid about those kinds of things, so I definitely didn't need security to do that for me. It was overwhelming. I would NOT stay there again...and the amount of hotels in the area, you can definitely stay someone else!

rickskinner60, General Manager at Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center, responded to this review
We are sorry to hear your experience at our hotel did not meet your expectations. While we certainly welcome and enjoy our youth hockey tournament guests, we also must take into consideration the experience of our guests who are not here for the event. This includes keeping the children from running and playing in the public areas. We apologize if you felt this was unnecessary, but hope you will understand our efforts to provide a restful, enjoyable experience to all. Rick Skinner General Manager

NYYanks1974, Westbrook, Connecticut 24/05/2017

Nice size pool, arcade room for kids, and convenience of the All Star Bar and Grill. Came in on a Friday night for hockey tournament and bar was full, orders were lost, and meals didn't come for over 1 hour and 15 minutes however manager handled appropriately and apologized. Saturday night lounge was empty quick in and out convenient place to grab a drink. Breakfast buffett was up and ready to go at 7am and it was above average, nice also that they had breakfast in the restaurant and also in the foyer area of hotel. Room, King size bed, was clean but dated...carpets were worn, fridge looked like my college fridge from the 90's. Overall nice facility that just needs updating.

tracypZ3115PV, SC, United States 24/05/2017

Best Western Marlborough is an older hotel, but has lots of amenities, well lighted with a huge parking lot (very good when it snows). Rooms are spacious and beds are very comfortable. Avis and Budget are at the hotel, but you can walk ( via gravel path) to the nearest shopping center (restaurants, grocery). The restaurant and bar have great selection - good food. Breakfast is too expensive unles you have a breakfast coupon, which most people have. Good buffet breakfast with 2 types of eggs, waffles, bacon, homefries, oatmeal and continental selections. BW is the best value in this area.

Sarah K, Westborough, Massachusetts 24/05/2017

The hotel was overcrowded, there was only one person working at the front desk. I checked in at 10 pm and the line was very long to get checked. My room was on the 6th floor. The elevator was very hot and very slow. I got to the room, tried the key multiple times before someone from inside the room started yelling and swearing at me. I was given key to a room that was ALREADY OCCUPIED. Had to take everything back down, wait again in the ridiculously long line and got a new room.

Everything about the stay was great except the swimming pool was very dirty, which was surprising as the rest of the hotel, including the room was very clean and well kept.

Holly B, Madison, New Hampshire 01/05/2017

Everything about this hotel was as expected very friendly staff, great lounge, good calimari at the bar. And better house pigno then Chardonnay. Breakfast was a buffet and included with the cost of the room. As far as I'm concerned that was the biggest disappointment of my entire stay. All the hot prepared food tasted fake. Scramble eggs, home fries and sauces looked so good!! I took on bite of each and tossed them. Yogurt toast some fruit coffe and juice were my other options. Didn't dare try the oatmeal. They could have done so much better.

crystalsK3042CZ, Burlington, United States 12/04/2017

Overall we had a great stay at this hotel. We went for a comic con which was being held on hotel grounds. The only complaints I have are that I would not pay full price for the breakfast buffet if I had to pay for it, luckily we did not due to the comic con deal they had at the hotel. Normally the buffet is around $20 per person and although they had a good selection it was not worth that much. A second complaint I have is that we were told the pool was heated which it was not. The area that the pool was in was heated, felt like a sauna, but the pool itself was very cold and very small. Besides that, the hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly. I am satisfied enough that I would stay at this hotel again for the comic con next year.

rickskinner60, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center, responded to this review
We are delighted you could join us for Super Megafest, and intend to stay with us again for the event next year. Our staff loves hosting such fun and unique events as comic cons.

"One night for a seminar"

TracyM0118, Willimantic, Connecticut 10/04/2017

so, I wouldn't go here on vacation, but it was fine for one night for a seminar. I did not participate in the free buffet breakfast, so I can't speak to that. I did, however, order room service and it was very reasonably priced and the portions were quite large. The nice man that delivered the food to my room was pleasant and brought me an apple. The front desk staff were polite, but not overly friendly, except for the guy that checked me in..."what's going on, ma'am"?" the room was old, but clean, for the most part. very minimal dust, if any. the lunch buffet we got at the seminar was quite good, but the green beans were spectacular! it was really, really quiet, even though there was some sort of dance party going on. I barely heard any other guests. the towels were very nice. they seemed brand new and quite fluffy. I was NOT a fan of the Pantene 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. I should have brought my own. the elevator was loud, but since there are 4, I could not identify which one was loud. since there are 4, there was never a wait.

I attended the Supermegafest 2017 with my 14 year old daughter. The room, the décor, the staff were WAY above par. The breakfast buffet was incredible and appealed to every want or need. The Supper buffet on the main area of the hotel was incredible as well. The room was apportioned well, and the place was clean, neat and showed a sincere attention to detail for the best guest experience.

"Clean, but disappointed in amenities/services"

Erin R, Pittsfield 18/11/2016

Overall the stay was enjoyable. I was miffed when one of the desk clerks mentioned we didn't get the $1.99 breakfast pkg added to our room b/c we were there for the expo. I was highly disappointed in the price of the breakfast and dinner buffets. Too expensive for the quality and options offered. House keeping came by to empty the trash ONLY (it didn't have that much in it). The bed wasn't made... found that interesting. We put the card on the bed so they wouldn't strip it, but we expected it to be made. ABOUT THE CARD. It seems to make most sense to have placing the card on the bed as the exception, not the rule for keeping the sheets on the bed. Makes me wonder how many people remember to put it on the bed to keep the sheets on them. The lamp beside the bed was shorting out, didn't work more than 3 minutes and then didn't work at all. The coffee pot in the bathroom was a joke. You pour the water in per directions and it came straight out (couldn't even get the cup in place fast enough, much less have it hot)... frustrating. I reported the issues on check out as we stayed only 2 nights. There was a smoke alarm placed right above the head of the bed. It had a green light that made an eerie glow over the bed. My husband had to cover his eyes to sleep as he is sensitive to light in the immediate area. It was reminiscent of alien abductions or something LOL The waitress and mgr of the restaurant (dinner Fri night) were up-tight, there was an underlying static, weird energy from both of them. They made us (there were 4 of us, guests of the hotel) feel like they needed the table when they came over multiple times. We asked them if they needed the table, but they insisted they did not. The waitress seemed un-nerved, like something had happened and she was anxious. An al la carte breakfast option would be nice. Having to pay $10 for a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee is ridiculous. Offering free coffee to guests would be nice as well. There are hotels that are much less expensive that offer that option to their guest. The hotel was aesthetically pleasing, the room was clean, the staff was friendly. We will most likely stay at another hotel for next year's expo because of the cost and the food options are not worth staying at the hotel to eat. We found other hotels that are less expensive and food options that are the same or better quality for less money.

I am sorry our amenities disappointed you during your recent stay. Thank you for bringing this to our attention upon checkout, but we highly recommend guests bring up issues like the lamp, housekeeping, smoke alarm light in the moment. That way, we can make amends immediately and get the guest back to enjoying their stay. We hope you will consider us again for next year's Expo. Rick Skinner General Manager

This facility does a great job in accommodating hundreds, maybe thousands of attendees at this event. The staff is very courteous, and I don't know how they manage to feed all the attendees who eat in their restaurant. Ayaan, the hostess, was particularly helpful when I was there, and she and the wait staff were very attentive to my needs. I would recommend this Best Western to anyone who is looking for a venue for an event, or to anyone who simply wants to spend the night.

Joseph D, West Haven CT, United States 28/10/2016

Food in the restaurant was of poor quality. Smelled smoke in our room and reported it to front desk was told they would be right up to investigate nobody ever came up. Small lightning / rain storm and the hotel lost power for approximately 15 seconds with my son and his friends being trapped in the dark in a stuck elevator 15 seconds is an eternity.

rickskinner60, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center, responded to this review
I offer my most sincere apologies that no one came up to your room after reporting you smelled smoke. This is unacceptable, and completely unlike our staff who are committed to the highest level of customer service. I will discuss this with our staff promptly. I also apologize for your son his friends being stuck in a dark elevator when we lost power, however briefly. I hope you will give us another opportunity to exceed your expectations.

Our free, dependable wifi seems to made quite an impression on you – and how could anyone blame you! Whether it's getting ahead of emails from work or sharing vacation pictures to your favorite social platform, having wifi you can count on is crucial for all travelers. Why pay for such a basic amenity? We don't think you should. We also think it should be available to every guest from the comfort of their own room. It's just one amenity that really sets us apart from the competition. Thanks for your review! Rick Skinner General Manager

Andrew M, Marlboro, United States 26/10/2016

I had a person unlock my door with their key and walk right into my room while I was in bed at 10:00pm then was called down to the front desk a half an hour later to get it cleared up, I was so wound up after that I couldn't fall asleep until the wee hours of the nigh, making my long drive home very difficult. If I didn't have to stay here for business I wouldn't, and I'm going to do everything in my power not to stay at this best Western again.

DaveTravels1965, Cincinnati, Ohio 26/10/2016

This hotel is a lot of fun as the event I attend here. They are very nice and very relaxed during this convention and it is appreciated. However they said that I could not have a free breakfast due to my rate which was over $100 a night and I have like the second highest ranking for Best Western. I was sorely dissapointed that I spend so many nights with Best Western every year and then cannot even get a free breakfast regardless of my group rate I am loyal to best western nationwide and that was not taken into account. It may seem like a small thing but how much would it have hurt to give a diamond level member a free breakfast

I am so sorry for the treatment you experienced at our property. ALL guests are invited to partake in our complimentary breakfast, regardless of Best Western Rewards status.

Friendly staff that is often pushed to their limits by understaffing at hotel during peak time. Nice and comfortable lots of amenities but often too crowded to take advantage of them.

fortwilliams09, Saco, Maine 23/10/2016

My first stay at a best Western in quite a number of years. Was visiting for a convention on site. Very clean hotel and great service from staff. Room was pretty standard but very clean. Two items worth noting: The Wi-Fi was fantastic leading to very good Internet service. It was nice also for once to be in a room with a sufficiently large TV. The towels were soft too. I don't see that very often. Only two minor concerns: The beds were full size rather than queen and as I see in almost every hotel, very low grade toilet paper. If a chain would attend to that, it would really give them an advantage even though it may seem like a small thing.

I stay at this hotel several times a year for work, and the staff is always incredible - Specifically Ayaan and Jeff at breakfast, Sean at the bar, Cameron at the front desk, and Debi. They often have a full hotel when I'm there, and no matter what the circumstances their staff always goes above and beyond to make your stay go as smoothly and as comfortable as possible.

Darian V, Milford, CT, United States 14/10/2016

A musty room odor and loud cycling of a/c unit blower made sleeping difficult in this somewhat dated hotel. Staff was very courteous and rooms seemed clean. Small microwave and mini fridge were available but closet storage was limited. Conference price was reasonable and the hotel is spacious with the trade center off site, which allows for a brisk walk or drive unless it's raining.

"Great Hotel, Nice Breakfast, But Unresponsive Check In Staff"

Kehinde A, Rocky Point, United States 11/10/2016

The hotel is well located in the surburbs of Boston so is great for someone who wishes to avoid the bustle of the city while on business but wishes to have a quiet related atmosphere to resort to each day. Great value, nice amenities such as the exercise room and the heated indoor swimming pool makes this a good location almost any season. The best part of this hotel is their quality free breakfast, and the very courteous staff that run it, from the head, I believe her name was Ayaan to every staff working there. Unfortunately, the same could not be said of everyone at the front desk. We had a defective coffee maker and my wife always needed that in the morning and at day's end. Needless to say of reporting this to the front desk the attitude of the staff there was quite dismissive, and then he promised to send someone to change it and just never did. Besides that small issue this is a great hotel that we will recommend readily.

This hotel was mediocre at best. I was traveling for a convention, and just booked this hotel because it was part of the convention. I would definitely stay off site and drive over next time. It is pretty old and out dated, and not especially well cared for. The elevator inspections were expired. The only good thing about the free breakfast was that it was free, and I got what I paid for. lol

We come every year in October for a painting convention and love having everything in one place! Wayland room needs to have their ceiling lights checked, some did not light and looked black. When we opened the sofa bed the sheets were wrinkled and had crumbs on them. We called housekeeping and asked for clean bedding and vacum cleaner... they came within 10 minutes and took care of it. The hotel is getting older and could use some sprucing up in the rooms that we were in. The employees are courteous and willing to help anytime. Nice breakfast, good number of elevators, convenient to shopping center.

Spent 3 nights there in October, 2016, attending a trade-show/expo and training event and came out very satisfied. First I was surprised by the size of the place. It can accommodate large events and have plenty of rooms to house the guests. Check-in and check-out was very smooth. Change of my departure date went smoothly and staff were helpful. My gratitude to John who provided me rides with hotel's shuttle to and from downtown Marlborough for attending annual Heritage Festival that was going on that weekend and was great. The rooms are clean and specious. They may have micro-wave and refrigerator (mine had) and the in-room coffee was good, actually very good. There is a good-sized indoor swimming pool, and the exercise room has plenty of machines and good selection of weights. In-room free wifi worked well, with minor occasional drop-offs. The restaurant and the bar were also tried and food was good.This may not be a 5-star luxury hotel but is very comfortable. I am very satisfied with my stay.

Michael D, Orwell, Vermont, United States 01/10/2016

I searched a long time to find a cat-friendly hotel to stay at for my father's funeral services. Every other hotel I checked had more bad ratings than good ones. Best Western was the only one under $200 with 99% good ratings. Everything was so good: the room; the staff; the price; the quetnessof the room. The breakfast was so good with a very large number of hot and cold items that change daily and the staff was very frendly and attentive to make sure we had everything we needed.I can't say enough good things about this place. The pool was too cold to swim in but that wasn't very important as we weren't there for that anyway. Don't search any further for a hotel in this area. This is the one !

This Best Western is not one of the nicest I have ever stayed in. run down, in need of serious renovating. Trying to get luggage carts through 2 straight doors for one person isn't an easy task. Need to put in automatic doors.. Attended a party and it was in the Trade Center. Not my idea of a venue to have a more classy party. (will take this up with my employer) More of a Camping, Home or Car show type venue. Overall, I will probably go home next time and not spend the money...

CaesarBrutus, Massachusetts 17/09/2016

I stayed overnight, due to a meeting here; driving the night before let me sleep longer. I can't remember the last time I stayed at a Best Western and am now wondering why it's been so long. Everyone working here is great- helpful, friendly, and professional. Plenty of free parking and it is right there; you don't have a long walk or any dark areas to get to your car. Breakfast is free and has plenty of seating and options. I had the least expensive room and couldn't believe how large it was; full bath as well. My bed was very comfortable; so many hotels have terrible mattresses, but not here- slept VERY well on mine. I had neighbors, but did not hear them; I only knew I had them, as someone was leaving their room at the same time I was leaving mine. A lot of channel options on the tv. You control the temperature of the room, whether you like it cool or warm. My meeting was at Best Western and the room for it was comfortable; the chairs were also comfortable, thankfully, as it was a full day meeting. Lunch was delicious and the staff were very attentive. This is an annual meeting and I hope they have it here each time. When traveling, I will definitely stay at Best Western, due to my experience here!

This hotel was very nice. Comfortable and clean beds. Loved the shuttle to and from the Trade center. The staff were amazing and the breakfast was delicious! Its centrally located and easy access from the highway. Many restaurants around it as well as gas stations, and supermarket.

Booked one night business stay basically on price and was very pleased. Clean, courteous desk staff, friendly staff in bar/restaurant. Restaurant had a couple of groups of locals which is usually a good sign. Way better than average breakfast. Did not use the wifi. Heat/air was quiet and comfortable, big screen tv, what more could you want. I missed the turn-in first time by, the sign is not that big and it is a quiet off the road location so a little easy to miss. Would definitely stay there again.

I was scheduled to stay at this hotel for a contract job in the area for a few months. Everything from setting up the room and arrival was perfect. The nicest people I've encountered at a hotel. If you are staying for a long period of time in this area for business (or pleasure) I highly recommend this hotel. Extremely clean with good restaurants. Quiet peaceful nights sleep. Local area is nice with shopping and grocery stores and restaurants. I had a family emergency shortly after arrival and needed to leave right away. Sadly, things did not go well and I was not able to return for a few weeks. Every single person I spoke to or encountered was so kind, compassionate and understanding. They went above and beyond anything I could have expected from a hotel with hundreds of guests to take care of. They treated my items with respect and care until I could get back to get them. I can't thank the staff there enough for helping to make such a difficult time less stressful.

Hotel doesn't look like much (except very large for a Best Western) and is dated, but very clean at a great price. The breakfast was great (whether hot or continental, there was plenty of food and options). The restaurant was ok, but there were plenty of dining options in the area. The elevators were slower than molasses - that would be our only complaint. Perfect accommodations if traveling with a sports team (as we were).

rickskinner60, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center, responded to this review
Thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and found our complimentary breakfast to be such a great dining option. We take care to make sure there is a wide variety of foods available and keep it well-stocked. We are a great option for sports teams for this reason, in addition to our free wifi and accommodating staff. I hope you will join us again in the future! Rick Skinner General Manager

I came here to visit a relative who lived in Worcester for college. Since Boston was a little more east, I decided to stay in Marlborough which was a lot closer. The hotel was bigger than I expected in a nice simi wooded location. I liked that. The front of the hotel and the lobby area gave a great presentation. The rooms were a little outdated yet very decent and the housekeepers did an OUTSTANDING job with cleaning the room. The hotel provided an all you can eat buffet breakfast which was really great. Special thanks to Jeff, at the Zachary's restaurant. He did a SUPER job with assisting my family and I with breakfast. It was great to have him as a server! I didn't get a chance to see the hotel amenities but I was told they were nice. Overall, this has been the best, Best Western hotel I've stayed in. The hotel was very nice with great staff and the breakfast buffet was better than any other Best Western (and I've stayed in quite a few) I've stayed in. I will definitely stay here again!

Gail B, Miami Springs, Florida 01/09/2016

My youngest off to college... It was important for the "whole" family to come - including our Pomeranians. Not only were the staff friendly and helpful to us, they went overboard making our Poms feel welcome. This stressful move from Miami became a joyous family get-together. The rooms were clean and accommodating. The delicious daily breakfasts were awesome. Kudos to John (front desk) and Jeff (restaurant) for being extra helpful. We did not feel like we were at a hotel at all. Our family were truly at "home". Thank you!

While the hotel itself was clean, the rooms need some updating, as well as the lobby. When we opened the cabinet to get the bedding out for the pull-out bed, the bedding was all rolled up and shoved in the cabinet. Had to get housekeeping to come and bring new bedding. Morning buffet very good, and dining room employees very nice.

Had the Pleasure of staying at this property 24 August 2016. Having been in the travel industry for years I am well aware that it is not just the Physical Amenities which forge my opinion of same. I am staying an extra night at this Best Western Royal Plaza in Middleboro MA because of the Staff. The first night around 10 pm I was looking for some late night snacks for my room. Oscar the Food and Beverage Mgr. who was leaving for the night, stopped took care of our needs on his own time. Much thanks. Follow this excellent service by the two Personnel at the front desk, Joanne, and Cameron who made sure that everything we had requested was handled properly. We really had a choice of a different property, but choose to stay here because of the Excellent Service. Much thanks to a Wonderful Staff. Bob

This Best Western comes with a great staff from the front desk to the kitchen/dining to housekeeping. They are in the process of renovating all the guest rooms and they provide a mini-fridge which makes it ideal for longer stays. The sandwiches served during the lunch hour of the conference were tasty and varied. Everyone is so helpful and friendly we thought we were back in Texas!!!!

User 18/08/2016

I recently had to go to Marlboro for business & stayed overnight at this facility. It was very clean, the hotel was well maintained, the facilities looked excellent, even though I didn't have the opportunity to use them, but the customer service was not what I would expect from a facility this nice. When I checked in the clerk was very scant on details & almost acted as if it was a nuisance to check me in! When I checked out, the clerk was pleasant enough, but failed to ask me how my visit was. If he did, I would have told him that I could hear EVERYTHING in the next room! With that said, I can only give 3 stars, but if I ever have to stay in the area again, I would definitely stay here again & hope that they do some sound-proofing of the rooms!

And don't even try to make or receive a call (probably not the hotel's fault.) Understaffed in the restaurant and bar (and likely, in the kitchen). Bad wine, and if you did find one you liked, it was gone by the next day.

"Hotel Overall Very Good"

Cagu, Boston, Massachusetts 15/08/2016

The Hotel was overall good. I stayed there for a conference. There were only two problems. The first was that the walls were so thin that I could hear the conversation of the people in the next room as if they were in my bathroom. The other problem was bigger. The fire alarms went off in the middle of the night but I slept through most of it because there was nothing in the room to wake you up. Other people on my floor never knew the fire alarms went off until I told them the next morning. That could be dangerous .

Lynn W, Oklahoma 15/08/2016

This hotel sits way off the main road so it is very quiet. There is plenty of parking which is free. Check in was quick and easy, we actually had enough points to earn a free night. Normally, the rate for our 2 bed room would be about $140. The exterior of the building and lobby area seem a little outdated. We were in room 418 which was clean and comfortable and recently updated. I have 2 complaints about this room: A/C didn't seem to cool the room very well (set to 63 and still not very cool) and the fridge was very small, smaller than most hotel fridges. We ate dinner at the All Star Bar & Grill. I ordered the beef tips and mashed potatoes and my friend had salmon, fries and veggies. The food was great but the service was a little slow. The waitress didn't speak English very well, so ordering our food was a little difficult. While we waited for our food, a man, possibly the manager, kept yelling at the waitstaff across the dining area in front of the few patrons. For breakfast the next morning we ate at Zachary's (another restaurant in the hotel). The food was served buffet style and consisted of scrambled eggs, potatoes and bacon. The food was great as well as the service. Our server was very attentive and friendly.

"Not Quite the Best"

Robert C, Marlborough, United States 15/08/2016

I stay at a lot of hotels, have 3 kids that play travel hockey. This hotel has a nice, clean lobby with a fun restaurant/bar. The rooms DEFINITELY need a face lift. And the breakfast room has an extremely rude hostess. I actually left and paid for breakfast somewhere else. (I had complimentary breakfast buffet.) That is how rude she was!! Not sure I would stay there again if I had the choice.

Kenneth L, Marlborough, MA, United States 15/08/2016

I attended the NGH convention there in August 2016. Since it was the convention hotel, I stayed there for the ability to have a room where the convention was. The elevators didn't seem to be air conditioned. The hallways on the 5th floor were hot. Some of the meeting rooms were hot. I'm used to hotels that have a microwave and refrigerator. This one didn't have either. The elevators were slow to respond and one of them made noises and wouldn't move. Fortunately, the door open button worked and we took another elevator. I tried to check in early, and each time was told to try back in a few hours. Finally at 5 o'clock (check in time is 4 and my room still wasn't ready) I was offered a room with a king size bed instead of the two queens. I took it. The room was clean, breakfast was good, the staff was professional and helpful, the price was right. Don't expect steak at hamburger prices. Ken

The hotel is outdated but do not let that stop you from staying here. If you are budget conscience and want a fair night's sleep for a reasonable price pick the BW Royal Plaza. The staff is attentive and the rooms are pretty basic but are clean and it is a rather quite hotel. There are two onsite restaurants and the location is close to a strip mall if you wish to go out for a meal.

bodkinvanhorn, Singapore, Singapore 06/08/2016

We stayed here because of the proximity to the NESC. The common area was lovely, the free breakfast was very good. The first room we got was in dire need of updating. Everything was scuffed and banged-up looking. The toilet was inoperative, and after determining it wasn't immediately fixable, we were moved to another room. The second room was less tired but still could have used an update. My biggest issue with the room was that it was extremely dark. Instead of exterior windows, it opened into the courtyard, so if we wanted daylight we had to sacrifice privacy. Staff was for the most part very friendly and helpful. Room service completely botched our order but was very apologetic and brought a corrected order immediately. For the location and condition of the facility, I felt like it was overpriced.

This hotel has the right idea it allowed our group and others to visit in the lobby area that had tables set up. This was a very nice and no people were sitting in halls and rooms disturbing people.

"Lovely staff; tired property very challenging for business travelers"

HappyTraveler016, Langhorne, PA 17/07/2016

The staff at this hotel were truly exceptional, from check-in to restaurant to housekeeping. Clientele was mostly seniors and youth hockey teams, and they were kind and accommodating to everyone. Our room was clean and comfortable, although furnishings were tired (not dirty, just old). Smoke detector was positioned DIRECTLY over the bed - in the dark, the neon green status light on the unit cast a green glow almost bright enough to read with directly onto the pillows. It was so hot in the hallways that the room number tags were falling off the doors. Unfortunately, the wonderful staff could not overcome the fact that the property is in desperate need of a MAJOR facelift - still lots of forest green and oak, if you get my drift. Most importantly, for business travelers like myself and my husband, there was NO CELL service for us T-mobile users - we had 0 bars. The Wi-Fi was free, and my phone is equipped with Wi-Fi calling, but could only use this feature right next to the window; anywhere else in the room, the calls broke up. The "business center" connect speeds were so slow, I felt like I would hear that dreaded dial-up connection sound any second. Best Western really needs to invest big time in this property so that the brick and mortar can match the enthusiasm of an obviously dedicated staff.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff. Room was clean, housekeeping did a great jobs. Only issue at all was that walls are a bit thin and some noise filtered through. Morning breakfast that was part of the room cost was complete with eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, cereals, fruit, yogurt and pastries -- something for everyone.

Lobby is good, but the rest of thr place is tired and dated. Booked through Pricline and when my room was ratty, outdated and tired, and I asked for another room, I was told that because I booked on Priceline I could not get an updated room. If I would pay another $30 he would give me a renovated room. Wow.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry you were not satisfied with your room. We are in the process of renovating our entire hotel, and some rooms have not yet been upgraded. We were unable to move you to an upgraded room because you booked through Priceline, which ties our hands somewhat with room availability. I recommend booking directly through Best Western in the future. Rick Skinner General Manager

Stephanie P, Hudson, United States 13/06/2016

I planned 3 days of meetings here for a group of 45 employees with my company. There were 4 people at the front desk when I arrived, none of who greeted or offered to help me check-in. I spent the majority of my time NOT in the meetings, rather chasing the staff to clean up, refresh, attend to our needs as per our contract. One of my employees' room was moved mid stay without any notification to him or myself. Service was slow. Many of the other meeting rooms around us, being used by other companies had several people standing and sitting in the hallways. It looked extremely unprofessional and was a major distraction to our group. Many of my employees reported issues with their room keys on multiple occasions. Overall, not a pleasant experience and we will not be returning for business or pleasure in the future.

To whom it may concern, My name is Bob Lynn and I'm associated with the International Kenpo Council of Grandmasters. We just had our annual event, and I have to say that the customer service was exemplary, the food was great, the young man who bartended is awesome, just like every year. This time, your food and beverage/banquet supervisor, Debi Webb went above and beyond to assure that the entire event went seamless. We had a few administrative snafus, and once Debi heard of it, she sprang into action, saving the day ! I have to say that if I go to this event, and she's not there, I don't feel the comfort and totality of true customer service....always with a sincere smile. She really is better than exemplary !!! I for one am already looking forward to next years festivity....with the knowledge that we know things will be excellent. Thank you very much, Bob Lynn, Grandmaster/ IKCG Kenposhihan@comcast.net

Hospitality, convenience of shops, bus parking, hotel bar, restaurant and breakfast were amazing, room was super spacious, no charge on microwave and fridge with request. Room coffee was actually tasty. We stayed as 13 families (42ppl) travelling as a hockey team (7year olds) from Canada to Boston the hotel experience was amazing and accommodating for the kids. I did not use the pool the kids did said it was small but very good.

"Disastrous!"

Rey D, Macedon, NY, United States 02/06/2016

A late night check-in at 10:00 PM and we were assigned Room 213. The room has dirty carpets and small window that you'll feel like you are in a dungeon. A junky and dented refrigerator had been delivered when we requested. The TV cabinet had one broken door and the main door had been recklessly pulled out. A bathroom sink does not drain and needed to be service at that late night. I have paid for a DELUXE Room and not STANDARD. There's nothing DELUXE in the room we were assigned. Our requests to be transfered to another room had been declined until after the following day. I really feel that the front desk people forget that they are still a service industry. They keep on asking me to come back (3 times) until they assign me a room. Too many inaccuracies in my bill when I check out. They increase my rate in my second night when I transferred room. I fortunately discovered and have it corrected but I have to have my credit card customer service document the conversation in order for the bill to be corrected. There was some additional charges/adjustment that does not make sense. This have been one DISASTROUS vacation. Best Western will not be a priority in choosing a hotel in a near future regardless of price.

Sean was the best bartender/breakfast server.

MisterJynx, Ottawa, Canada 31/05/2016

We had a great stay at this property. My family was in town for a hockey tournament. The hotels location in relations to sports facilities is excellent. Furthermore there is a mall nearby should you require it. The staff is very friendly, prompt, and their attention to detail is noticeable. The beds are a little small in width, but cots are available, the elevators can also be slow during busy times. I requested stair access since we were on the second floor and the stair door was locked (not locked when coming down) unlocking of this door would allow less congestion on the elevators. I had direct interaction with Debi (Food and Beverage Manager). If you have any concerns about your stay, talk to Debi and they'll be resolved, she is an excellent communicator and demonstrates a general concern for her guests. This hotel was perfect for our needs for this trip.

"Not perfect, but its a good place to stay"

Peter F, New York City, New York 30/05/2016

I had reserved a room with two double beds for two nights over the weekend. I thought it was odd that the Hotel had rooms with a King bed, Queen bed, or two Doubles - two Queens was not an option. I am a very tall person and was a little worried about the bed length. I was able to sleep comfortably on the bed (the bed and I are both 75"), but wouldn't recommend it for two large adults. Two children should have no problem sleeping on this size bed. We arrived at the Hotel around 10pm on a Friday night and I was able to find a good parking spot, despite the large number of cars in the lot. The inside of the lobby was very well lit and spacious, with a fountain in the center area. I was quickly checked in and able to find my room very easily. I believe the hotel is 6 stories tall and it had 4 elevators in the lobby. There was rarely a wait for the elevator, despite a number of conventions going on. The outside and inside of the hotel appeared to be very clean and in good shape. In my room, I had a flatscreen TV with a microwave and a mini fridge hidden in the dresser. The bathroom had a large mirror, granite counter and was clean. We had plenty of towels and a coffee maker with plastic cups wrapped in plastic. The desk and side table both had extra outlets on them, which made it convenient for charging our electrical devices. Our view from the room was a wooded area in the back of the hotel. I had no issues with any noise from outside or from other rooms. The breakfast buffet here is probably one of the best I've been to. I was told the hours run from 6am to 11am, so even if you had a very late night, one can still take advantage of the breakfast. The presentation of the food is excellent. The food was kept hot, without drying it out. The hot foods varied each day. One day we had scrambled eggs (with green onion, although it looks like green peppers), sausage, bacon, breakfast potatoes, pancakes wrapped around an apple filling (with hot syrup). The next day we had french toast, instead of pancakes. The cereal option isn't that great from a kids perspective - Raisan Bran, Rice Krispies, Cheerios and Corn Flakes. There were pitchers filled with Orange Juice, Apple juice, Canberry juice, water. There were also enclosed pitchers of milk, but I didn't see any labels that said regular or 2% or non-fat. There were plenty of pastries, like muffins, donuts (didn't taste fresh, but still good). Bread for toast, bagels, yogurt and fresh fruit was available. The coffee was a little disappointing. There are real plates and silverware available to eat with, but the bowls are plastic. The area where the breakfast is served is very nice, my daughter wanted to sit next to the fountain, which added to the experience. The one nice thing about the breakfast is there are plenty of tables and space, so you don't have to worry about finding a good table or have to get there at 6am just to eat in peace. We had a very nice and enjoyable breakfast both mornings we were there. We tried the indoor pool and discovered that it was not heated. I would guess the temperature of the pool being somewhere in the mid 70's. My son and I did not like the fact that the pool wasn't heated, my daughter could care less. We usually swim for hours in the pool, but because it was so cold we left after an hour and never went back. The fitness room, was next to pool and a restroom. The fitness room had 2 flatscreen TV's, one with a baseball game on and the other had what looked like the local news. I believe there were 4 walking treadmills (very nice and up to date models), stationary bikes, weight lifting stations, etc. The hotel had a restaurant and bar, which we did not use. They did look very appealing though, just didn't have time to check them out. The lobby had an ATM next to the gift shop and an arcade with decent games next to the pool. There are plenty of places to eat around the hotel, but you will need to drive to them. The hotel is way back at the end of a road, so its quite a walk to the main road where all the business' are located. The service from all the staff was great, I had no problems whenever I needed something. Checking in and out was very quick and easy. Overall, the hotel looked very spacious, nice and clean, no smelly odors or funny smells. The grounds looked well kept and well lit at night. I had a very good time staying at this hotel, the staff were very helpful and courteous. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others to stay here as well.

John I, Bloomfield, New Jersey 20/05/2016

I have stayed at a number of BW hotels in the USA in the past month or so. I have given them ratings of at least very good. This one did not get that rating for only one reason. The hotel itself is nicely appointed, the lobby is attractive and the room decor and comfort was nice. However, the staff needs to be more diligent about cleaning the bathtub. The hardness of the water creates soap scum. My room had it in the bathtub. Not sure about other rooms. The cleaning maintenance staff needs to correct this as it is not very attractive!

I thought the overall stay itself was enjoyable, but the older woman working at the front desk was extremely rude.

Other than that, the stay was wonderful.

User 27/04/2016

Our jobs connect us with companies that hold a lot of meetings at this hotel, so convenience is a huge consideration when booking accommodations. The meeting room was not properly cleaned from first day to second. Sleeping room had an odd musty smell and overlooked the trash dumpster and delivery area, where workers shouted to one another in early morning. Sheets and bedspreads were "wrinkly" leaving us to wonder if they were appropriately clean/fresh. Prepared "Buffet lunch" in lounge was our only option at mid-day since company did not provide lunch. Complimentary breakfast and service were exceptionally good. Internet service was sporadic at best, and at times unavailable.

This hotel needs a serious update with it's decor. I thought I was stepping into the 90s when I entered the room and looked at the bedspread. Despite its shabby appearance, the room was very clean. The hotel staff were always very friendly and helpful as well. I stayed for a conference and found the accommodations acceptable. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of a shopping plaza which I enjoyed. I was able to grab snack at the local grocery store and eat Chipotle when I was not interested in the conference luncheon. It's not somewhere I would recommend to new/potential business associates by any means but it serves it's purpose.

Scarlettbella, Rochester 19/04/2016

Check in was not as friendly as most hotel. Had to stand there several minutes before being acknowledged by 2 guest services reps. The rep talked so fast I could barely understand him, like he couldn't be bothered. No frig in room, Tiny beds with old bedspreads. Bathroom was clean and decent, but the door looked like it was from the 60's and in need of at least sanding and painting. Hallways were dark and dingy. Had a drink at hotel bar which was empty but still looked a mess - dishes on bar, un-vacuumed, Breakfast was complimentary breakfast buffet, which was decent. Took 5 minutes to be acknowledged and seated, even though a bus boy (man) walked by us and looked right at us. Waitress was nice but her shirt was so old and stained it was really unappealing before eating. Would not stay again.

Very comfy and luxurious enough. The room on the 6th floor was so nice and peaceful. The only thing is that if I worked there as a cleaning staff, the tub would be without stains and the toilet showed signs of stopping to work. But they are fixable. No other complaints. Everything else was very positive.

Hotel staff doesn't care! Room were not clean and anyone can charge a bill to your Hotel Room. Staff did not care, when a problem arose they did not do anything to solve the problem. Not a first rate hotel.

The establishment was very well kept. The staff was always kind and considerate even when dealing with a high stress weekend. Able to enjoy my self without any concern for possible issues with the hotel. Everything was provided to me as promised. Check in and Check out was extremely easy and fast. Staff was always cordial

Teresa B, Hartford CT, United States 12/04/2016

This restaurant was extremely understaffed for large crowd ComiCon this past weekend. I had a reservation for 40 people and they had not set aside the space requested,. They had one or two waitresses for the entire restaurant. It took an hour to get drinks. After two hours 3/4 of the group had to leave to eat elsewhere. Food that was received was cold. Trays of orders were set on counters and not brought to the table. They failed to bring in servers to deal with the crowds. We would not make this our location for meals again.

Bdesigns13, Vernon, Connecticut 12/04/2016

We stayed at the Best Western for Super MegaFest. The hotel was right next to the convention center which made it very convenient. We liked the pool and the restaurant food was excellent although it was slow service so we tried the buffet the next night which was good but also waited a while for that to be refilled. Our room was very clean and nice, but a little worn. The shower was nice though and the towels big and fluffy. I would definitely stay here again. We were not told that breakfast did not come with our package though so that was disappointing.

jjwaldron7658, Manassas, Virginia 11/04/2016

This is the second time we stayed at this location for the SuperMegaFest. The staff is great. Even though the hotel was "crazy" busy, everyone, from the front desk to the restaurants, was friendly and courteous. I would like to mention the names of the staff members who made our visit that much nicer: Cameron - front desk. Ayann, Debby, and Jeff at Zachary's, Sandra at All Star. We remembered Debby, Ayann, and Jeff from last year and were so glad to see them again. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful and hard working staff.

Karen G, Hudson, Massachusetts 07/04/2016

After not seeing my sister for over a year and wanting to spend some time together but having a full house we wanted some place quiet where we could spend quality time. This location was perfect for us...2 double beds in the room, a restaurant to enjoy a nice quiet dinner with a glass of wine and a fantastic place for breakfast (best breakfast I have ever had in a hotel!!)...clean and spacious....my only negative comment would have to relate to the woman who checked us out in the morning. She was arguing with a guest when we came up on the reception desk....he surrendered and sat down to try to text his wife because the desk was telling him something completely different about their check-out than the wife had told and and she continued to be augmentative with us. We walked away rather than continue to argue with someone who could not even consider she might be wrong. She told us she would be in touch once she "worked something out with corporate"...and she did leave a message for my sister basically saying my sister was right and "ate crow" without ever actually apologizing. If you are at the front desk...learn customer service or find another job!!

The motel was not easy to find. The staff upon arrival was cordial. The room was clean and next to another family members room which was good. The heater in the room was very noisy and had to be turned off at night so we could sleep. The bar/lounge was very nice as the wait staff were excellent. Kayla was awesome! And Sandra was courteous and friendly.

MikeMcCormack, New Bedford, Massachusetts 03/04/2016

A nice hotel really. I was there for a conference with my wife and we are satisfied with most everything. But I only rated this property with 3 stars. It could have been a four except for the little things the management left undone. Fixtures out in hallways; Annoying flickering lights in the ballroom; food on the restaurant floor that staff just walked over; somewhat disappointing, luke-warm breakfast (including the luke-warm coffee); our cocktail hour with 250 participants in the lobby/foyer was short about 200 seats and I thought $4 for a 6 oz. glass of ginger ale was a bit steep

I'm sorry to hear the little things are what kept your stay from being better. We strive to provide all of our guests with an excellent stay.

This was a really good place to stay. Very clean and extremely friendly staff. The breakfast was outstanding. The restaurant staff was accommodating and the food was really good. The room I stayed in was big and conformable. The WiFi was fast. I liked that I had both a deck to work at and a large chair to lounge in.

rotmeister, Johnstown, Ohio 27/03/2016

When I called to make reservation (bc BW's website wouldn't make it) they told me the rate on the website was for their non-remodeled rooms (no fridge, no new carpet, bathroom not redone), I was worried. But the room was fine and even the bathroom seemed new. My son loved the pool (said it was warm) and my daughter liked the work out room. You get a breakfast ticket in their restaurant and they serve you your drinks. They had hot item (not just the pancake or waffle machine) buffet. Also the normal cold items. I felt bad that I didn't have any money to leave as tip. We will likely choose this hotel again if my son goes to school in Boston.

Recently finished a 10 month, 5 days a week stay at this hotel for business. It was very nice :) The staff, including Deb Webb, Arthur, Stephie, Sean, Molly, Jenn, Eric and others were simply amazing. Top notch! The bar/restaurant has a decent selection of food and drinks. The hotel has a nice pool, but no hot tub, so I can't rate it 10/10. I would absolutely stay here again.

"Very Nice Stay with Exceptional ADA Room"

JLStarefos, Rockville, Maryland 23/03/2016

Very pleased with the ADA room at this Best Western. There was plenty of room to move around in an electric wheelchair. A roll-in shower made transfer to a clean, comfortable shower bench easy. Bars in the bathroom made toilet transfer safe. Very pleased with the accommodations. We also attended a gathering in one of the larger banquet rooms. The food was exceptional and the staff was great. Very nice evening.

Facility needs a total remodel and particularly the restaurant/food selection. Altho used frequently as a central hotel for trade shows, they cannot handle a large crowd in the lounge/bar area, nor were they able to correctly operate drink stations in the general evening sessions. In the future, I will stay at a different hotel nearby.

User 09/02/2016

We rented an "upgraded" room for a slightly higher rate which looked very much like a regular hotel room, but all in all, it was nice. The room was clean with the basic amenities and the bed was very comfortable. I was surprised, however, that there were no safes in the individual hotel rooms. If one was needed, there was a safe available behind the lobby desk. My traveling companions put some valuables in that safe, but upon checkout, forgot to retrieve their belongings. Therefore, we had to return to the hotel. Luckily, we hadn't gone too far before they remembered. We suggested to one of the hotel employees that as regular procedure they should ask guests if they have anything in the safe. The employee seemed to think this was a good idea. Other than that, everything went smoothly.

"Virginia in Housekeeping is Awesome! Thank You for taking care of our belongings!"

JustinsBlog, Akron, Ohio 08/02/2016

Several of us arrived at this Hotel for storm restoration work through National Grid. While we were out restoring electricity, Nat Grid made a decision to combine and move rooms. Rather than waiting until we arrived back at the hotel, they decided to clear out our existing rooms (6 of them) and our personal belongings, bags, clothes, etc. etc.... Virginia was the housekeeper in charge of this very uncomfortable situation. She divided the rooms and belongings based on the obvious and any misc. belongings were placed in plastic laundry bags and tied up. She took the extra step to place handwritten tags on each of our bags with our room number. She placed 3 rooms on a cart and the carts went into the office. Some of us had some valuable items and others were frazzled that our personal belongings were moved. It's a clear violation of privacy and while it may have been mandated by National Grid, Hotel policy should have handled the situation differently (we had a DO NOT DISTURB on our door). They should have waited until we got back to the hotel and then we could have moved ourselves. The hotel management was WRONG for putting Virginia into the uncomfortable situation of cleaning out rooms that were occupied and going to remain occupied for multiple days. However, this review is not based on hotel Management. I just wanted to give a shout out to Virginia in Housekeeping because of the care and concern in which she packed up our belongings and made sure everything was taken care of. We weren't missing anything... we thought there was a charger missing but it was found in a bag. Thank YOU Virginia for going the extra mile! We can't thank you enough. As far as the Hotel, SHAME ON YOU for putting this wonderful employee of yours into such an awkward position. You should have waited for your occupants to move themselves (it wasn't an emergency). The rest of the staff at the Hotel were fantastic. Thank you Jenn, Mary and the other ladies at the front desk.

First off, I'd like to thank you on behalf of the community for coming all the way from Ohio to assist us after the storm.

It is not a normal thing we are asked to do, and we were doing our best to make all parties, from National Grid who asked for the room change, to you happy. I'm pleased that you were happy with Virginia's work. She is an excellent employee who always goes above and beyond for our guests. Rick Skinner General Manager

This hotel is very old. While it is quite large, you would think the hotel would be more than what you get.

The staff was professional, helpful, and answered any questions I had. My only issue is that the hotel does need some cosmetic updates. The decor was nice, but could have been a bit more modern. Everything was very clean, the king size bed and pillows were really comfortable! You are very close to Rt. 20 where there are many restaurants and shopping, that is a huge plus. I was there for an overnight conference for work. The Food & Beverage staff at my meeting were great; the food was filled, fresh items were brought out to replenish things, and they asked myself & my colleagues if they could get us anything.

ann1246, Rotterdam, The Netherlands 28/01/2016

The hotel is quite old and the rooms are unclean. The machines at the gym are broken. There is nothing special about this hotel but the location is very good (many services near). The staff is nice as long as you have no requests/complaints (e.g. receiving only two towels in a 4 person room everyday). I was disappointed with my stay, being used to the good standards of Best Western. The worst part of my stay was that they refused to give me my credit card bill (which I needed for my employer). I had to contact the Best Western headquarters, and I received the bill a month later.

The only complaint is my room was not very clean.

It's a good hotel, with spacious rooms. Furniture is a little ageing (chairs, bath tub). Rooms are clean. This time my room was quite cold, but usually I don't have problems. There is a buffet breakfast which is rich, I love their bagel and muffins. The staff is friendly and helpful. Elevators are bed, in particular the middle one is very noisy, it seems it's going to break down each time you take it.

Our company Christmas party was recently held at the Best Western Royal Plaza. Having been in the restaurant and hospitality industry previously for over 30 years I was very impressed from the moment I arrived until I left. Since the party took place two weeks after Christmas I was surprised to see all of the lovely Christmas decorations and even two trees in the room. The staff was friendly, professional, and very accommodating all the way around. Their attention to detail was excellent. From passing hors d'oeuvres, filling our water glasses throughout the evening, pouring our wine, and asking how everything was not to mention always clearing anything necessary from our tables never leaving a dirty glass, dish or utensil. They even made sure to get the heat situated in the room when the room got very cold. All of the food served was delicious, presentation top notch. I will definitely recommend The Best Western Royal Plaza to anyone looking to host an event there.

"Christmas party"

Cheryl V, Ware, Massachusetts 07/12/2015

We had our annual Christmas party yesterday and as always, the families had a wonderful time. I would like to single out one particular employee. Her name is April and she could not have been more helpful.(Actually, this is not my first contact with her, she has been here for years and is always ready to help). Whether I needed help finding the control for the lighting in the room, needed extra trash bags or had a child who wanted hot chocolate, April stopped what she was working on-which was always something-the woman never stops moving! and found whatever we needed. Our room became brighter, we had the trash bags we needed and the young lady who was couldn't find any hot chocolate at the coffee station ended up happily sipping cocoa. It's not just that April is helpful, which she certainly is, it's that she is cheerful and friendly and makes you feel welcome. She is a treasure!!

Bad restaurant service and really bad front desk people. There was food/ dirty cups in elevator and a used condom in front entrance. When i complained it was as if the person did not hear me and could careless, just handed me my bill and that was it. No one working here as any pride!

Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel in Marlborough MA gives you a lot of value for the money. Hotel staff are very friendly and attentive and respond promptly to any requests. Buffet breakfast includes a wide variety of hot and cold food of good quality and well presented. Restaurant staff are also very friendly and attentive. Rooms are clean and in-room wi-fi is fast. Indoor pool and fitness center are great extras. Have stayed here several times over the years and have never been disappointed. Definitely recommend it for business or leisure travel.
