I trusted the brand name but should've read the reviews first. I would've never have stayed here. Room rate had dropped $40 since I reserved it two days earlier and the manager would not honor the lower rate which according to choice privileges she has the option to do. Looking back through the reviews this place is been under renovation... More

This hotel is over the top on customer service. We have stayed in alot of hotels and as far as looks it dosen't win any awards, how ever they are remodeling rooms in blocks of 40. The room was clean and thats all that really matters because how much are you really in your room. From the moment we arrived,... More

I booked this hotel mainly because it is billed as a "non-smoking" hotel. However, there was 2nd hand smoke in the hallways on the 2nd floor, which meant that a guest was smoking in his room. Also, people were smoking right outside of the hotel's entrance, which meant that when the doors were opened, the 2nd hand smoke went right... More

Great location, very close to Boston, right off I95. But it is way too old and I don't think the renovations they are talking about (but not seen or heard) will help. I think it needs to be gutted or demolished and rebuilt. Just too decrepid. The beds were clean, the location was great and the price was the lowest... More

The hotel was clean, everyone was friendly, and we had a great time in the bar. Joe makes a killer Surfer on Acid, and the adorable bar manager (forgot her name!!) makes a wonderful Cosmo!! The breakfast bar was good, and we really enjoyed our stay all around.
