"Close to the JFK Presidential Library and Museum. The motel was basic, and the price was right. The room was clean and just big enough for 1 queen beds, a dresser, and a chair. The mattress was uncomfortable, and the water pressure in the shower was almost non-existent. The breakfast buffet was just adequate, though the freshly-made oatmeal was excellent. I was glad I only stayed one night.2019-10-18"

"Good hotel. No pen or pad at the desk, though, and there was no TV channel guide. Ask for a room on the river side.2019-11-11"
"This hotel offers the best bang for the buck in the Boston area. WiFi and parking were free, and there was a great on-site restaurant and bar. The front desk clerk was the most cheerful and efficient I've ever encountered; she helped me program my cell phone and add the Uber app.2019-07-17"

"The mattress was awful; I could feel the springs. The hotel was being renovated, and despite quiet hours, I heard hammering that started at 6 AM and went on all day. I don't recommend this hotel.2020-02-17"
"Clean but small room with a refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. Comfortable bed and pillows. The wireless Internet service wasn't reliable. The toilet ran constantly and was loud. So was the bathroom fan, and it came on automatically with the light. Worst of all was the poor soundproofing; I could hear the people in the room next door, and woke to the smell of marijuana. The entire hotel staff was absolutely fantastic. Great workout room, and the TV had many channels to choose from. Good complimentary breakfast with hot and cold selections, and I enjoyed the fresh cookies every evening. The shuttle service was a big plus, and parking was free.2016-03-24"

"This is a young person's hotel, and I needed a teenager with me to handle the technology. I never did figure out how to turn on a light in the room at night.

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.
