This was the cheapest place to stay in the Boston area so we knew it wasn’t going to be great. The room was not very clean - for example, there were weird white stains on the desk. The coffee machine was full of dust so we asked the front desk for a new one, which they quickly provided. On the first night, another guest’s dog was barking in the hallway at around 10:30 pm. Other than that, it was quiet. The area is not as sketchy as some reviews made it seem, and there are lots of stores and restaurants conveniently nearby. The hotel is in poor condition - there were water marks on the ceiling, peeling paint on the walls, the mattress was old, and there were rips in the bedding. You get what you pay for, I guess.
