Why it can be zero? Why Public Health allow such a place to be open? On top of all that, the owner is very rude. I was given a weekly rate and 4 days later asked to pay another $300 with the allegation that the employee made a mistake. STAY AWAY! You better off sleep in the gas station rest... More

Do not stay here, every thing about this place is gross. The wife and I stayed here and it is the biggest mistakes we made in our travels. The hotel has a bad smell as soon as you walk in and the older lady that was working the front desk was rude be on belief. The room wasn't any better... More

Some places just shouldn't be in business, and this was one of them. We were advised by a well-meaning friend that he had heard this 'roadside inn' was just the place for those visiting Harvard. Mmm. Alright, so the location is a little brutal - at the side of a thundering highway - but it is only a 5 minute... More

I've been here twice, the first time under my bed there was a bra and a pizza box, cigarette marks awful smells and terrible service. Also, a man came to the door with a "sample" of "good" cocaine. I slammed the door in his face and I swear to god some of it spilt in my room.

Two of our bandmates met us at the hotel in the morning, so we could all leave town together. The lady at the desk insisted they had stayed with us, and charged us $10 more for both rooms we had. She called me a liar. A hubcap was missing on our tour van when we woke up. The place was... More

This place was disgusting! Cigarette burns on everything, from carpets to linen. Hallways had a nauseating odor. Bathrooms were moldy and gross, the wallpaper and ceiling were water damaged. The toilets--I'll spare you the horrid details. The lady at the front was extremely rude and arrogant. To make matters even worse, the room was INFESTED with something that BIT me... More

We stayed at this inn for one night, though we had planned to stay for two. This, in hindsight, was a the result of my own conviction that we could stay in Boston comfortably as cheaply as possible. This was not wise. The rooms were old, hallways musty, and the bathroom floor sticky. It was nice to get a fridge... More
