This hotel, if you can call it that, is horrible on all levels. The rooms absolutely stink of smoke and mustiness, even though some rooms are supposedly nonsmoking.
The location is horrible. It's located between a busy highway and some kind of warehouse, where semitrucks are constantly idling, day and night, and you hear it all.
The rooms are filthy; we saw four of them, since we were traveling with friends, and the first two we were put in were completely smelly and filthy. We settled for the only two they had left, which weren't much better.
Amenities are sparse, and the staff is difficult to get a hold of. Blowdryers are supposed to be included, but you have to ask for them at the desk, and then they only have one or two to loan out. There's no oven, and we weren't supplied with dish soap, sponges, or paper towels. Oh, and did I mention that the sheets and the comforter were dirty and smelled of smoke? I'm all for a budget hotel, but this was ridiculous.
Save your sanity and try the Wellesley Inn instead. It's clean, quiet, AND they serve a decent complimentary breakfast, plus they provide you with a daily newspaper.
