The Wonders of Waltham, MA

A member of Middlesex County, Waltham is found in eastern Massachusetts and is just 20 minutes outside of Boston, and less than 20 minutes from Cambridge. Waltham is affectionately known as "The Watch City," because of the Waltham Watch Company, 1854-1957, which was the first watch company to make watches on an assembly line. Set conveniently off both I-90 and I-95, guests of the Best Western hotel in Waltham enjoy an ease of access to local and nearby attractions. Guests of the hotel also enjoy being neatly nestled in between Hobbs Brook Basin and Prospect Hill Park, both offering plenty of fun for the entire family - try a nature walk or a picnic. Be sure to also visit nearby Riverwalk Park, set just along the banks of the Charles River.

Any trip to eastern Massachusetts isn't complete without a visit into Boston. Be sure to make the short, but scenic, drive there and explore the early American history, along with some excellent local professional sports. Once there, guests can head to Fenway Park, home to the MBL's Boston Redsox, or the TD Center during the fall and watch the NBA's Boston Celtics play, or the NHL's Boston Bruins as they defend their Stanley Cup championship. Make Waltham a fixture on that next eastern Massachusetts vacation.
