1. Our beds were hard, the A/C was non existent (a problem since it was 88* and 90% humidity), the halls were noisy and the place was in general need of updating and a deep clean.

"Great Location....that is all. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/23/2012 Vote

2. In addition they offer a very family friendly pool area that is not only well kept but protected from the general public.

3. Within 5 minutes of speaking to the general manager, we had a custodian knocking on our door with a dvd player in his hands.

5. While cheaper than other hotels in the same area, it was still very expensive for what we got - there was something that looked like dried vomit on the rug, there had been obvious water damage that looked very hastily repaired, and it was generally run down.

"Won't stay again " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/6/2010 Vote

6. We really had no real problems at the hotel, just a general feeling of cheapness.

8. Prices were reasonable, and the portions, generous.

"Unmatched proximity to Fenway Park " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/5/2009 Vote

9. The price is generally more affordable than most other hotels in Boston but then again there are a limited number of rooms and the hotel is outdated.

"Affordable for Boston " Read full review on Expedia 10/24/2008 Vote

10. Although the motel is pretty tired and dated, we generally had no problems with our stay here.
