• Price was right for Boston area.
• Given smoking room and breakfast area was too small for the amount of people.

“Too many smoking floors. Difficult location to get to although near the highway. Breakfast area too small. Close to Boston area although difficult to navigate. Hotel staff very nice and helped us change room.”

• Well maintained, good amenities, friendly & helpful staff, close to Downtown & airport.
• No restaurant or room service.

“We were pleased with the well appointed room and free in-room high-speed DSL internet. Also the 24/7 free access business center had all we needed to download/scan and print documents. We were able to send and receive faxes via the front desk. Our room was clean, odor free, quiet (considering we were on the 1st floor next to parking lot) and best of all the beds seemed very new and so comfortable. Although there was no restaurant on premises or room service, there were vending machines with food, snacks, and beverage selections. The breakfast room where a complimentary continental breakfast is served is kept open after hours to enable guests to use the microwave to heat food from the vending machines. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly.”

• Continental breakfast.
• Front desk clerk was not very helpful in answering questions.

“We were on a trip to the Boston Marathon and this hotel was recommended by other runners who had stayed there previously. Although less expensive than other hotels, it was not very good. There was a shuttle to the T, 15 minute walk, but you had to call to make arrangements and the train to downtown took about an hour. The desk personnel didn't take the time to answer questions, they acted like they were too busy. I would definitely not stay at this hotel again and perhaps head west of the city closer to the starting line.”

• The room was clean.
• The hotel staff members were mostly very unfriendly and unhelpful.

“I would not stay at this hotel again. The staff members were very unfriendly and unhelpful. Service was not good. My toilet malfunctioned the entire time, and they never really fixed it. They were not accommodating to different customer needs.”

• Breakfast.
• Our floor had some awful food orders at times. Not sure why.

“I was traveling with my daughter so I slept on a very bad roll away that they didn't give me sheets for until I asked the second time.”

• Breakfast was an unexpected bonus. Free.
• Our door was left open after the room was cleaned.

“It was fine an clean. Our door was left open by accident (all day I suppose) after our room was cleaned but nothing was taken.”

• Excellent staff. Continental breakfast is superior to most.
• Location is difficult to find for all but those familiar with the area.

“The staff was very attentive, friendly and helpful. The rooms were very nice and well maintained. The location, while hard to find initially, is convenient for the Boston area as there is a subway station about a mile away and the hotel offers a shuttle service to it. The rooms are surprisingly quiet considering the location next to a major highway. Could not hear traffic outside at all. The continental breakfast is better than most, offering more than just coffee and doughnuts. The waffle machine is a nice touch. I would gladly stay here again and recommend to others.”

• Close to major roadways, food across the street and shopping center yards away.
• Away from Boston attractions, highway out back windows, but no noise was heard!

“It was great for people traveling around the Boston area, close to highway and easy to navigate. The hotel was clean and the people we nice and helpful. Breakfast was good and free internet is great. I would recommend this for a business traveler or someone that does not want to stay at a pricey place.”

• Close to dining, etc.
• Poor sound quality of on-demand movie.

“I would recommend this hotel for a short stay for somebody visiting the northern Boston suburbs. A comfortable room with a desk and Internet access, along with on-demand movies and games. Would not recommend for extended stay beyond 2-3 days.”

• Clean.
• HOT!

“Room was clean as expected though extremely warm. We had to turn on our air conditioner which was very noisy and clearly needed service. We finally had to turn it off just to get some much needed rest having driven 5 hours after a full days work. We faced a very active day the next day on less than a full nights rest.”

• Cleanliness, convenience.
• No comfortable chair in the room.

“Clean, convenient, but short on amenities. No sitting area in the room, but otherwise clean, bright, and attractive.”

• The willingness of the staff to help and fulfill all requests.
• That it was not possible to switch a king bed for 2 full beds.

“The hotel was a little difficult to find, but was very close to Harvard, where we were attending a conference. The staff was very helpful with our internet/wi-fi needs. The room was very elegant and the large desk in the room was very convenient for both my business partner and I to work at the same time. The only problem was that there was only one data port in the room and if the other wanted to work online, it was necessary to go to the lobby. The staff went out of their way to open the dining room so that we could heat our food after hours. It was a very pleasurable stay. Sad that we did not know that there was a heated indoor pool to take advantage of this!”

• Staff was very helpful and kind.
• Surrounding location a bit too industrial.

“Positive: affordable, clean premises (both rooms and dining hall). Hospitable and very serviceable staff. Conveniently close to major highways and cities. Standard but fresh continental breakfast. Negative: slightly older structure. Neighboring unsightly industrial area.”

• Good location and relatively comfortable bed for hotel class.
• Stale smell.

“The hotel is a good option for travelers looking for a safe and comfortable place to stay - with no frills. The bed is actually quite comfortable. The room is larger than most rooms at even nicer hotels. The bathroom and sink area (outside of bathroom) are average. Breakfast in the morning is very nice. Hotel smell is very stale. Rooms seem like they have not been smoke free for a long time (but it is not evidently awful). Staff is nice, but not willing to help a great deal.”

“I do not find La Qunita hotels to be 2 1/2 stars worth. This hotel location was slightly better then most La Qunita, but still an economy hotel over all.”

• The hotel was warm, clean and safe.
• Indoor pool was a joke, TV remote did not work.

“Pool or whirlpool was a major let down, Water was too cold and unenjoyable. TV in the room had problems and staff refused to replace or change rooms for me. Also the room was cold.”
