Best Western at Historic Concord

This review is for one of seven properties in which we stayed on an eight-day trip through the eastern U.S. and southern Canada. All can be considered two- or three-star accommodations. Our primary criteria in choosing them included customer ratings, distance from highway exits, restaurants within their vicinity, and price. While there are differences in how we would evaluate them, there is none that we would be unwilling to stay in again. We stayed in the Best Western Concord two nights. My wife and I both felt that this was the best place we stayed on our 8-day trip. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was very appropriate for the time of year. Air conditioning was easy to control. Windows opening onto a patio made fresh air an option for sleeping. The shower provided a good supply of water. Breakfast was very good. The immediately adjacent restaurants were very good, but not cheap. The location is a couple of miles west of downtown Concord and convenient to MA-2. less

I’ve been to numerous hotels outside of Boston over the years. This is one of the best, especially for the price. My cousin and I spent four days and three nights at the Concord Best Western this time. Comfortable room, great bed (we actually slept through the night all three nights!). The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The location is perfect as a jumping off point to explore. Plenty of parking. Excellent restaurants right next door. We will definitely be staying at the Concord BW again. less

Boston area hotels can be shockingly expensive, three four hundred dollars for a regular room is not surprising. Luckily, this BW generally can provide a stay for half as much if you are willing to drive a little. There are some good restaurants nearby including one next door. About a mile away is the Atlantic seafood and it is also very good. Have eaten in both places and both are reasonably priced and good. The hotel itself is just a regular motel, rooms are clean and quiet. Stayed here twice already. To me, hotel is just a place to sleep through the night. less

The check in desk people were super helpful and friendly. The place was very clean and had been recently updated with all new furniture and curtains, etc. The room temperature control was efficient. We had a small terrace, bed was comfortable, bedding good quality. Good water pressure in the shower. Room was very quiet (we were on 2nd floor). Tons of parking. Really impressed with the breakfast! Full spread of bacon, sausage & eggs (pancakes AND waffles too!) even porridge and cold foods, and nice touches like infused water. The breakfast room was large and had some windows that looked out on the pool area. The pool looked pristine with lots of lounge chairs but we never used it. Good location, easy few minute drive to center of Concord for shops, sightseeing and food. less

The location is very good for visiting Concord, MA. It is also next door to a couple of restaurants. (We ate at the Italian restaurant which was very good.) The staff at this Best Western is fabulous. The free parking is ample. The breakfast is good, and it was nice to see a pancake machine (just press a button to use). There was also an ingredient list for breakfast items for those with food allergies. I also appreciated the reasonably-priced sodas in the soda machines. With all of these pluses, the hotel should be a 5 ... but there are a few items that need to be fixed that bring down the rating: 1) Either fix the start button on the guest washer or get a new one. 2) Fix the alarm system so it isn’t so sensitive. I am sure it is already on the hotel’s to-do list as it must be aggravating to have the fire department arrive to reset the alarm. 3) Upgrade bathroom fixtures and plumbing. Our toilet didn’t work upon arrival. Maintenance staff did fix it. I will reiterate that staff was helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I would stay here again...but the hotel does need to have some more money put into it - it really is a very good location and worth the investment. less
