We are paying $63 per night for our room, which is located only about 11 miles from where we want to be in Boston. The hotel is old, but I have seen (and not stayed in) true horror stories, and this is not one. Our room, 202, is at the end of a hall and overlooks the charming Lake Quannapowitt. Forget about having an on-site fitness center. The 3.5 mile path around the lake is flat and picturesque. It's heavily traveled with fitness buffs walking their babies in buggies, jogging, walking pets, and just plain walking! We rode our adult kick scooters around it. Lovely!

We have a no-smoking room, but that said, the cashier told me that all rooms are no-smoking, so I don't understand the complaints about smelling smoke in the area. I could not detect any at all except outside by the front door.

We have a large, 2-queen bed room. It also has a desk with spot for a computer power-cord in a lamp, a round table with two, nice straight-back chairs, a comfortable chair, and a long chest of drawers that holds an old tube-type TV. The WiFi is good! It isn't FiOS, but its more than adequate for our needs. And the bathroom is quite large. Best, for women, is that you can actually stand close enough to the mirror to apply makeup.

The rug in our room is pretty good. There are no black stains and the room itself smells OK. It has a great heater, too, at least for the modestly cool, fall nights of our stay.

In summary, this is a nice motel for the price. The area is super if you like to get out and about. And it's proximity to Boston is spot on.

We found this hotel to be rather tired but did not find it particularly dirty or smelly as some other reviewers. It provided us with a good location for getting into Boston and was OK for our two nights at a cheap price. Lake view was good and a walk around stimulating and safe with all the other keep fitters. Breakfast very basic but included in price. Good restaurants in the village.

This was recommended by a funeral home when we had a recent death in the family. This place is filthy. Smells like someone died in there. Carpets are black, the pictures of the Hotel are VERY decieving. Shows a great breakfast. What we got was mini muffins, Apples, toast, and cornflakes. No fruit salad like in the picture. Took a shower, went to the wake at the funeral parlor, when we got back there was a huge multi legged water bug in the tub. GREAT!! Needless to say we got out of there and checked into another hotel. They also opened the doors to try and "Air the place out". Please believe this, do not think people are exaggerating, they are not...

Filthy, dirty, horrible customer service.
The lake is nice to have there. That is where it all ends.
The pattern of the carpets are near invisible due to the black from foot traffic.
Small room, cheap bed coverings and linens. The TV didn't work. Front desk would not do anything about it. I asked if I could take a TV from another room and put this one it that room. They said no. The next day I asked if they would change the TV, they said yes. TV did not work that night when we returned. The point is, they didn't give a hoot about us. They were unprofessional, sloppy, rough personnel. When I was asked if everything was alright and began to explain, I was rebutted with how great the place and customer service was.
The so called 'breakfast' was mini muffins, coffee, some juice and bread to toast.
This place is disgusting. It is what I would expect to pay $19.95 a night for. You know what your getting then.
