If you’re looking for a no-frills place to lay your head for a night, this place will do. If you’re allergic to dust, maybe not. This place is old and could desperately use some love, but the staff are friendly, the bed was OK, the shower had good pressure, but the carpets were pretty gross. Also, if you need absolute darkness, I would bring something to cover your eyes.

The entire property could get some love and care. The bed sheets had stains and some crumbles, and there were also crumbles in the desk and the floor. Not all the bathrooms had soap to wash available. It was a stressful experience to stay even for 3 nights.

Friendly staff. Quiet enough for a good night sleep. Convenient location for our needs. Older building that could use some love but the bed was nice and sheets and bathroom were clean. Decent affordable option.

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!
