• Value for price.
• The staff.

“We had 2 rooms; they gave us rooms far from each other, nearest to the highway and with different beds than what we asked for. They gave us a hard time at check-in. Not helpful or accommodating.”

• Clean, roomy, quiet.
• Breakfast room was crowded.

“Excellent room, quiet, a little hard to find from the highway. Breakfast was plentiful, not great food, but healthy, with eggs, and even the waffles you make yourself. Breakfast room wasn't quite big enough.”

• Very friendly and accommodating front desk staff.
• Location was a little off the beaten path.

“The front desk staff was exceptionally helpful, from our late check-in to our very early check-out the next morning. Room was clean and comfortable. Downside was that the extra sofa bed only had one flat sheet and one thin blanket to use (left in a sealed bag in the closet). It was too late to bother calling for housekeeping to bring additional sheets/blankets. Breakfast in the morning was enough to satisfy everyone in my party. Overall, a very pleasant experience.”

• The breakfast buffet, pet friendly hotel, pool, suites and non smoking.
• Pool hours were limited during the week, pet sanitation fee.

“Family and pet friendly hotel with extensive breakfast buffet, pool and exercise room and 24 hour Internet Located off Rte 9 and 495, but must drive to amenities. Rooms comfortable and we were able to bring breakfast up and eat in room. Suites were clean, they did the dishes for us. We would have stayed even longer had time permitted.”

• I enjoyed the quite location; I also liked the room set up.

“My stay at the hotel was great. In my opinion the hotel deserves three or four stars. I enjoyed my stay there because the location is beautiful, and quite. I also like the lobby set up it¿s a very comfortable setting its not too extravagant, nor under decorated. The room was wonderful its very family friendly, spacious, and it offers a lot of extra great services. The services they offer can take a load off of a very busy person.”

• Having breakfast included was good for us.
• Didn't know we couldn't get 2 beds only 1 bed and a small sleeper.

“The staff said that no one room suites have a second bed, only a small sleeper sofa. We would have been better off in a regular hotel with two beds. Luckily we only had one child to accommodate.”

• The price was the best, plus the room amenities w/ full kitchen.
• The fire alarm went off around 10 a.m. so we were rushed out and also did not eat the free breakfast. No pool attendant couldn't use pool/spa.

“We had a very displeasure able morning due to the fire alarm going off and we had to rush outside into the cold without our jackets and shoes. We had to stay outside for 45 min to an hour before going back in to get our belongings. It ruined our stay because we enjoy sleeping in and eating a late breakfast neither which we could do. I understand it does not happen every day, however, we did not enjoy our evening out because of it.”

“This hotel was great for us because it was within 20 minutes of our daughter's college; however, it is definitely in a corporate area and you need to drive 10-15 minutes to get to food or other activities.”

• Cooling problems and was stuck with smoking room.

“Easy to find location, great spacious rooms with everything needed for extended stays and a great daily breakfast made my stay very confortable. The poor cooling on top floors made the hallways and elevators almost unbearable. Pool hours were not convenient and guest recetionist (male) was not pleasant or accomodating.”

• All the amenities you could want and a great breakfast included in the price
• I would like to have been closer to my destinaton, Boston, but couldn't get a good price

“It was clean and well maintained, except they needed new pillows, but I was told they're on order. The breakfast was excellent with a good variety to choose from. Not the usual Continental. They had prepared batter to make your own fresh waffles in an automatic waffle iron, they were great. It was well worth the money. I just wish I could have gotten that price in a hotel of the same value closer to Brookline, MA...my destination.”

• Only programmed our keys for first night of a two night stay.

“Great suite hotel just off I91 in the Framingham/Natick area. Represents excellent value for money. Great indoor pool and fitness room. Plenty of parking and safe family atmosphere. Rooms are of high quality, well equipped and with everything functioning correctly. They even provided me a free ethernet cable that I had forgotten to hook up to the free high speed internet. Great location if you have to spend a night or two in this area, particularly with the family.”

• They were able to accomodate my special needs and the room was wonderful!

“The location was great; easy access to Boston and the local T station without having to deal with the city's hub-bub. I also loved that the hotel was in a treed area, so that you felt that you were somewhat isolated from the nearby highways, and so much nicer to look out and see trees rather than the traffic. The room was simple but clean, comfortable and spacious. We thought the design elements of the room, lamps, pictures, furniture, colors, were nicer and more sophistaicated than other more affordable hotels. We were also granted a convenient room on the first floor near the main entrance which made loading music equipment in and out very easy. I loved my stay and would certainly reccommend the hotel to friends.”

“The bed was awful - so flimsy and uncomfortable that both my husband and I were miserable and hardly got any sleep! We stopped down at the front desk to ask about ice for the room and the desk clerk very rudely told us that the refrigerator in our room made ice and if we turned it on, we could expect ice cubes within a half hour or so. Well, we turned it on and waited, and eventually got 6 ice cubes and that was it! The ice maker did not make any additional ice even though we left the ice maker on all night. I found the staff to be rude and not interested in being of help.”
