Very old and run down which didn't bother me until I tried to open the window shade only to have it completely fall off. What bothered me most however, was the lack of cleanliness. The whole place was absolutely filthy. From the ceilings to the floors was just dust, dirt & debris. And don't even get me started on the bed linens which were stained and had holes in them. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Check in was easy, the staff was friendly and professional. The rest needs improvement! Room carpet was stained. The room smelled of smoke. The towel was stained. Some electrical outlets didn’t work. I waited 20 minutes for the shared bathroom. 6 or more rooms to one bathroom. Paint was peeling, tiles were cracked. For the price, I would expect better, considering that I had to share a bathroom.

The worst place I’ve ever stayed

This inn is the worse place I’ve ever stayed. The mattresses were bowed in so badly that I kept rolling into the middle of the bed. Al’s there were no fitted sheets, just one sheet tucked in. There was nowhere to put my towel, I just had to set it on the water heater. The bathroom didn’t have any hand soap, just a travel size shampoo bottle. The shower was so grimey and the shower floor was tinged with black/gray spots. The only positive thing is that we didn’t get bedbugs or a serious infection. We couldn’t find another place to stay because of how busy it was, but I will certainly pay more and stay somewhere nicer

Only stayed one night for a concert, but the place has its charm. Local businesses around are thriving and plenty to do nearby. Shared bathroom might seem off putting to some but it was a great experience. If near the Boston area again, would definitely stay!

Cute Inn! The outside is really pretty, but the inside needs some work. There were stains on the walls and carpets. The bathroom had strands of hair all over the floor and in the drain, with more stains on the tub. The service was great. Lewis was super kind and friendly!

This place is good at budget and there are choices of tastes from different countries such as Korea, Chinese, Turkey, Middle East. There is McDonald's within walking distance. I saw Jaguar and Land Rover dealer not far. Taxi is convenient in Boston Metro area.

WOW, and not the good wow

The first thing that hits you the moment you enter the premises is the SMELL!! It’s between mildew, body odor and another unidentified unpleasant smell that made it really hard to tolerate. Everything is very outdated, paint peeling off the wall, the doors the bathroom etc….including an outdated inspection. The rooms look like they’re rent by the hour if you catch my drift. I found eyelashes stuck to the worn furniture, stains galore on the carpet, cigarette burns on the brown cover folded on the end of the bed, mold inside the ac unit, and stains on the white bed sheets and pillow cases. If the price wasn’t as cheap and I only needed it for a few hours of sleep before my flight, I would have definitely stayed at the airport on a bench. That would have been cleaner and safer. I had to pay an additional 10$ for parking as well. I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re on a really tight budget and don’t care if you have to share a bathroom or contract a skin rash or respiratory infection. The gentlemen who checked me in was nice. I was provided the tiniest thinest towel for the shower…um no thanks lol. By far the worst place I’ve ever stayed, and I travel ALOT. I would say invest in at LEAST some new carpet (or just remove it all) and beds/sheets/ mattresses

At least they moved me to a different location when I said this place is not up to standards, and I was surprised Hotel.com even listed this place. Rooms and facilities do not even come close to the images they advertise.
