No AC which is fine and to be expected but hard during the heat wave. The area is a little shabby but the room was quiet and clean that it was a comfortable respite after a busy day and evening in Cambridge.

While the room was clean and the registration clerk was friendly, the property is on the shabby side. It was a very bare bones experience. Water pressure was a trickle. Fine for a quick stop for budget travelers. We appreciated the free parking!
