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 whose job it is to walk around, and find and fix these things.

Every fault at this property is what I'd call a "software" issue, meaning people instead of bricks and mortar. We were promised adjoining rooms, but they were unavailable at check-in and the desk was surprised we'd been offered such a thing. Of the two rooms to which we were assigned, one reeked of smoke as if the butt was still warm (a non-smoking room, by the way). We were moved to two adjacent rooms, which were fine.

It's a decent budget hotel. You get what you pay for, which is fine. I'd suggest it's better for the business traveler than the family trip. Don't expect amenities, but expect a decent, clean, spacious room for a fair price.

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 for a chain hotel in the city... we will probably go back to boston this morning to return to the north end for coffee and pastries! (its that close!)

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 the guests easily. Even the women who keeps the breakfast room cleaned and stocked was pleasant and helpful. We've booked here through Cheaprooms.com and have gotten EXCELLENT value. Recommend wholeheartedly and we will continue to return

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.
