"A horrible experience. The hotel room needed a deep cleaning. The AC didn't work well, and the WiFi didn't work for hours. The $16 breakfast was worse than fast-food. Parking cost $30 per night. Don't stay here.2022-08-11"
"The hotel entrance was hard to find. The key card didn't work, but the room was nice. There were plenty of charging ports, but few electrical outlets. There was only one plastic cup and a few disposable coffee cups. Not enough garbage cans. The heating and cooling unit was noisy, but other than that, the room was quiet. The staff was pleasant enough, but wouldn't recommend any restaurant except the one on-site.2021-09-19"

"The room was comfortable, though the AC was a bit noisy. We received a warm welcome, and the staff had a gift for our puppy. They even helped us unload our car without being asked. Delicious breakfast buffet. We enjoyed our stay and would return to this hotel.2018-05-17"
"Perfect location and lovely accommodations. Stay at this hotel.2016-09-07"
"Nice hotel. Right off the highway, with lots of restaurants nearby. Close to the MBTA station for traveling into Boston. No complimentary breakfast, and food prices were high. There was free parking in a covered garage.2016-05-19"

"This was our 2nd stay at this hotel. It has a warm ambiance and large, clean rooms. Nice view and comfortable beds. We've enjoyed both our stays.2023-01-04"
"Hotel room was clean, and the front desk staff was friendly. The only down side was that we had to park far from the entrance when we returned to the hotel in the evening.2015-03-10"
"The hotel was set back enough that we didn't hear the highway noise. It was clean and well-run, and the staff was accommodating and pleasant. The only negative was the awful lighting in the room; every light was a bright halogen light with no dimmer. Take advantage of the wonderful restaurants on Moody Street.2021-05-09"
"I had an excellent overnight stay at this hotel.2016-09-02"
"Not worth the price. I found toenails on the floor, and had to chase after a housekeeper when I found that the bed had no bedsheet. No spare towels available. The front desk service was poor, and the employees overall didn't seem to care about customer service. Don't stay at this hotel.2022-10-11"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
