Felt safe saying alone with my daughter. Was close to a lot of places we had to visit in Boston. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and cleaning available upon request as we stayed a week. Fridge in room saved us money and time. There was a microwave available in the lobby for travelers use. Amazing value for cost.

OK, so first of all, I was looking for a place to stay near TD Bank Arena for just night something reasonable so I wasn’t really expecting much for one night. The price was $104 which on a Saturday I thought was excellent and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised even though the place looked dated the room was nice and clean and smelled fresh I actually had arrived early and they were able to let me check in only 15 minutes from the Colosseum so that worked out perfect. Plenty of restaurants not very far family negative I would say was that the doors were very thin so you heard everything in the hall during the night but if you ask me what I stay there again for what I was looking for the answer is yes

Spotless and very clean. The service was fast and warm. Parking very accessible. The only ick is that they sell none. If you want water or a can of soda you have to go to a different place or drink from the sink🙁

Price was very good. If you need to stay in the immediate west burbs of Boston (Newton, Watertown, Belmont), this is centrally located. Bed was comfy. Only criticism was that the shades are a little short so it was rough trying to sleep in.

Can't say much more than: it was fine. Nothing special, especially for the price. The room was clean, but the dresser drawer handle was broken. Not a big deal. Would I stay there again, sure, if I had to. Again, it was just fine.
