Motel was cheap, but the hotel smelled of smoke. Pictures were a LOT nicer than the actual facility.

No elevator, the bathroom was to close to the toilet. The hotel had old smell. A smoke smells. The heater needed to be covered. The front desk was very nice.

It was a horrible experience. The smell of mold started when we first walked in the door. My original reservation was for 5 nights but we only stayed for 1 night. After that one night I could barely breathe in the morning from smelling mold all night. Just awful! Do yourself a favor and find another place to stay.

No Problem here

This hotel is fine. We spent the night and got the deluxe double room. Very spacious. It is an old Days Inn. But they are doing there best to make the place look nice. They were very friendly and helpful. They even let us bring our service dog who my daughter needs for anxiety mitigation.

Next to I-HOP! - Great night staff

Staff was very helpful, we had an unfortunate situation with the mirror in the bathroom (Not hotels fault). Front desk manager was extreamly helpful and understatding.

Nice but would have been nice to have something offered for breakfast. I understand a breakfast buffet with during the covid-19 however the 10 pack of pre-packaged or single-serving items would have been nice as it was supposed to be included in the price

Had a stink bug as a roomate.

Awful. I wouldnt stay here again if it was free. Just as i was willing to overlook all the cons of this place, a stink bug climbed up the side of my neck as i was lying in bed..

Honestly for the price, which is low considering it is near Boston, I was pleasantly suprised. The TV needed work as reception was spotty. It reminded me of the old rappit ear antennae days haha. But overall I would recommend it was clean and staff was pleasant and friendly
