This was the worst place we have ever stayed in. We stayed there 4 nights and not once was our room serviced. We had to get our own towels twice and also Toilet paper. The room smelled like an old ashtray. The smell was so bad we had to keep the exhaust fans going 24 hours. We told the front desk they just said they don’t clean the rooms every day. The rooms were in bad condition. I took pictures of everything there. Missing faceplates on electrical boxes fan covers hanging off the ceiling by one screw. There was even water leaking out of an outlet box ! Plus the caulk around the bathtub was coming off. The light fixtures were all different some with out on and off switches. We will never stay there again. The bad part about it was we couldn’t go any place else because of the Boston Marathon and everything was booked.

This hotel is a cheap hotel with generic everything. So you get what you pay for. No frills. However the hotel did have a partial renovation makeover with updated elevator, wall paint colors and some lamp and furniture and decor updates in a tasteful style but other parts of room decor looks very dated. Kitchen only has a dish towel. No cookware or flatware or dishes etc. disappointing! Breakfast was extremely cheap with a couple cheap items to eat like packs of oatmeal and hot water, coffee and a cheap package mini muffin. Not my idea of a free breakfast! No fresh fruit. No yogurt. No hard boiled eggs or toast. Room was clean in general areas but very dusty and dirty on lamps, molding, tv clicker, clock. Bedding was cheap but okay. Only three pillows but were good. However the mattress was very cheap. Not the worst hotel mattress but not the best either. In a very convenient location. I would recommend if under $75 a night. But hotel needs some updates and better cleaning to charge more. Forget the little you get for breakfast.

We usually travel low budget but this hotel was something else. To start, entrance and the whole floor we stayed in was smelly. Some very distinct odour of dirty, mold and food. The reception and elevators floor were dirty and sticky. Second, we didn’t get room service when we left the hotel. Bathtub was dirty and it was full of mold on the grouts. Bed was old and noisy, the towels didnt look clean. Lots of noisy neighbours running and screaming in the corridors. Also, the smoke free room was smelling cigarettes when we atrived.

The room was a shambles. Although we were told that the bathroom needed painting, we were not told that the plaster was chipping off. Furthermore, there was, what appeared to be, black mold in the shower but I will admit that I’m not an expert by far. Also, the toilet seat was not bolted down. There were other issues with the room but apart from the bathroom, the worst part was the mattress: it was sagging and we kept rolling to the middle of the bed on top of each other. It was very difficult to sleep or get any rest. Some of the more irritating things such as the vending machines not working, the staff was dressed in wrinkled and some dirty clothes really put me off.
