Pet friendly - not friendly
When we search for hotel that’s pet friendly we think we’ve done everything we need to. Then when you check in they make you fill out xtra pet policies and pay an extra $75 for one night. Pet owners are more diligent than people are. I don’t see xtra charges for children? Otherwise, the stay was wonderful

Ok. I've stayed at better and stayed at worse. Room kitchen has seen better days and lacks basics like washing up liquid. Corridor carpet is filthy. Parking a bit of a nuisance as a third of the car park is cordoned off. Pillows could be harder. Fold up bed was uncomfortable for my son.

Everything was very Good, staff was nice, my Only objection is that my room was not done at all during my stay…I’d asked for the service but it wasn’t done, I didn’t understood why wasn’t it done, since I saw cleaning personnel everyday around the hallway of my room, during my stay at this hotel.

They did not have the room I booked and paid for. Said a sofa bed was included, but it wasn't when we showed up. Had a roll away bed, which was ok... But not great.

We had a very nice stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The room was perfect for 3 adults and our 3-night stay.
We chose this hotel for the location, close to family and close to transportation, bus runs very frequently. Also easy to walk to local restaurants and nearby activities.

This hotel was very convenient for dropping kid off at Tufts. There is nice restaurant/bar right next door and they provide free parking at underground garage. The front desk staff was very pleasant as well. Will definitely be back.
