• It was close to the Boston T.
• Dirty.

“The overall feel of the room was uncomfortable due to its being in poor shape. The walls were dirty, some furniture was in disrepair, there was peeling plaster in the bathroom (a large piece), the floor didn't look as if it had been vacuumed. The grungy feel began on the elevator, which had a filthy floor. I would not recommend this hotel at all. It needs a complete overhaul.”

• Helpful staff.
• Room cleanliness was awful.

“Seemed ok from the outside, but our particular room had a strong odor of a male cat in heat. We complained but it was the only room left (due to late check in after driving 15 hours from MC to Boston). We sprayed some stuff and slept with windows opened but still would gag you after 3 days. Better than sleeping in the alley, I guess.”

“I was put in a smoking room. Also the hotel doesn't clean the room during your stay, if the stay is less than 7 days.”

• Very nice and new towels.
• No exercise or breakfast facilities.

“The hotel has no breakfast facility, no exercise facility and the decor is rather shabby and dated. The room was reasonably clean, not spotless though, and the staff friendly and accommodating to my request for late checkout. Overall, it was a good value for the price but I would not stay there again.”

• Convenient to major highway.
• Indifferent towards customers.

“We arrived for a late check in and the front doors were locked, with no clerk at the desk! You were supposed to call in on the phone in the hall, but the phone didn't work. I ended up banging on the door until someone came to open it, about 10 minutes later. When we got up to the room, no one had turned the air on in July and the room registered at 94 degrees. We asked to be moved, but the clerk said there were no other rooms available, so we basically sweated our butts off the whole night till the next morning. Upon leaving the next morning, there was no ice machine to fill our small cooler and I was not able to obtain a receipt. Very unfriendly and uncaring staff. They could care less about your comfort, or any part of your stay. Oh, yes and the next day, there were police swarming the front parking lot of the hotel and appearing to question someone in front of the hotel. I think they were staff, because there were lots of other staff outside circling around them.”

• Room was clean.
• Night manager skipped work, no one to help with problem.

“This hotel is a no frills extended stay property that was clean and secure, but provided no amenities outside of the room whatsoever. Some of the staff was courteous, but others were from out of town and had no helpful knowledge. Our card key did not work when we came back on our final night (it was midnight). There was no one to help us and no number to call. Luckily, someone from the sister property next door came (after we waited a half hour) and made a new key for us. Had there been a hotel wide emergency such as a fire, it would have been a disaster. Very unhappy.”
