Very accommodating, clean, and friendly. Fairly good value with the Priceline price, but would not pay the posted price for this hotel.

Negatives: Small rooms.

Negatives: Smallness of the room.

This hotel is fine if you're not claustrophobic. The bathroom was tiny! only a toilet and bathtub in the bathroom and no room for your legs when sitting. Their is an outdoor pool not open until memorial day. The restaurant was good and the prices were reasonable the hours vary depending on the number of people at the bar. The biggest problem I had was a water main broke when we were there and they didn't bother to call the rooms to tell everyone that the water was potentially contaminated with E. coli due to the leak. I found this irresponsible.

Positives: Bed was comfortable.

Negatives: View from room was of heating and cooling equipment.

We were in the Boston area to visit family, so we were not planning on spending much time at our hotel. The Fairfield Inn Dedham was easy to find from I-95 with directions from the evening desk staff. The room was clean and neat, if a bit small. But since we didn't spend much time in the room, the size was not a problem. The room was equipped with an iron, a coffee pot, and an Ethernet connection, as well as the TV and telephone one expects. All the staff members with whom we interacted were polite and helpful. Included with the room was a self-serve buffet breakfast with typical continental fare and cereal. The breakfast also included a Do It Yourself waffle iron and batter dispenser, which was almost foolproof (I say almost because there was one guest who didn't read the directions card next to the iron and had some problems getting her waffle cooked). My 10-year-old daughter, on the other hand, managed without any difficulty. In late November, it was delightful to have hot waffles for breakfast. The only thing in which I was disappointed in was the room heater that alternated between noisily heating the room and then shutting off completely and no body moisturizer. If the heater had been noisy all the time or quiet all the time, it would have been better; the cycling woke me up at night. And I have assumed that the hotel would provide body moisturizer because the last 2 hotels I had stayed in did. The lack of moisturizer was a minor inconvenience; I should have brought my own from home or run out to one of the nearby stores to get some.

Positives: Includes breakfast with Do It Yourself fresh waffles.

Negatives: Noisy room heater. Provided shampoo and soap but no body moisturizer.

The bed was one of the most comfortable ever, not just for hotels! The linens were soft and cozy, too. When they do their new remodel, I hope they will improve the quality of the towels.

Positives: Staff knowledgeable of area and helpful with any problems.

Negatives: Need softer more absorbent towels, no arrangement with restaurant to charge to room.

The hotel was good once you could find it off the highway. You could see the sign but in the dark it was hard to find the entrance. It was comfortable but the bathroom was quite small and not very comfortable. The staff was helpful.

Positives: The staff, particularly, the desk clerk was outstanding. The beds were great.

Negatives: The bathroom was very small.
