Great location for this hotel. Short walk to train station. Breakfast was so good. Lots of variety each day. Staff on hand when things ran out. Shame for the paper plates - but this seems to be the norm now. So bad for it all to be going to landfill. Very cramped area though for the number of guests in the hotel. Tea and coffee are available all day in the breakfast room. Plus plates and cutlery if you're needing this. Microwave in room and a coffee maker plus a fridge. Room was cleaned every day and could not fault their work at all. Staff were friendly. Although I would have thought uniforms would be worn. Didn't see any nametags either which I thought was strange. Maybe USA doesn't do this. The lifts were not the fastest though. But they both worked each day. Just lots of people using them. Close to a supermarket, donut shop, maccas, liquor store, dollar shop. Can't really fault the stay at all. except for the weather - rainy and cold. But this isn't the hotels fault!!!!! Would definitely recommend this hotel to someone going to Boston.

Reservation canceled

When we arrived to check in we were told that there wasn’t a reservation under our name. I said there must be a misunderstanding and showed him my confirmation email. He said the card they tried to charge was denied and hence the reservation was canceled. We opted to pay at the property when we made the reservation. My husbands credit card got compromised after the reservation was made and he was issued a new card. The employee at the front desk said we should have been notified of the cancellation. So we had no place to stay for the weekend, 5 hours from home. Not impressed at all and won’t be using your services any time soon.
