The room was spotless. The air is clean. You can adjust the heat. The mattress was fabulously comfortable. It was very quiet. The breakfast had a wide variety, but is not gormet. The however, is not my prime concern. More

I am a business traveler spending 100+ nights in hotels per year. Mostly in PriorityClub hotels. My visit with this facility was both pleasant and well cared for. I forgot my phone charger and prevailed upon the desk to help me. I was accomodated at every turn and wish I could remember the evening desk clerk's name to give her... More

This hotel proves how much easier it is to build a decent, clean budget hotel than it is to staff one. The rooms are fine. They're spacious, the amenities and decor are fine. It's basically clean. But the chair is kind of busted. The bathroom door doesn't quite shut. It smells like smoke. And there's clearly nobody at the property... More

Clean, fresh, modern decor, very professional friendly staff, decent complimentary breakfast, easy to find from Rt.90 w. Quiet area, suburban and just 10 miles from Boston! Very affordable. Our saturday rate was $125.complete. I requested a quiet room and was given a great corner room. Its a steal if your visiting boston and don't want to pay $250 and up... More

We have a daughter at Brandeis University and visit her at least once or twice a semester. We've never had a bad stay. Contrary to some other comments, we've found the front desk people very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and breakfast is fine, plenty of choices and ample amounts. Breakfast room is spacious enough to accommodate... More

Hotel is pleasant and clean enough, but the walls are paper thin. A few women were in the next room chatting late at night, not even yelling, and I could hear their voices through the wall, even over the AC fan. Not great for a light sleeper, unless you remember to bring ear plugs. More

Clean rooms with a modern style. Bathroom large and well equipped. Construction caused a little confusion on getting to the hotel but it was supposed to be finished in a few days. Thirty minute ride to Boston Logan Airport. Just off I 95. Front desk staff very helpful with information and directions. More

Went for the weekend with my husband. Convenient location, spacious clean rooms, all amenities you could ask for. Breakfast is ok at best, but it's free so can't really complain. The staff is dreadful though. Can't even get a smile or a hello out of any of them. Even saw a manager walking around on a Sunday morning and didn't... More

This is my third visit. Reasonable rates and proximity to Boston makes this an ideal stopping point for me. This time the hotel was booked with a couple of College sports teams so I got a single double room. First hotels should never have such small beds in their inventory. Otherwise the stay was the same as the other 2... More
