I was charged 25 dollars for parking in the hotel parking lot ...wich felt like a trap considering i dont remember any notification about parking charges nor were there very many options for parking around the hotel because of congestion in that area...very disappointing...especially cause i wasnt aware and able to budget for that cost.

Gave me a room that was 80degrees and the ac wasn’t even blowing went to see if they could look into it one guy came in and was condescending and telling me how to select the ac on the thermostat which I had done and as I’m explaining to the guy I know how another guy comes in and says there is no ac in this building so either they don’t know anything about the property or they are trying to be sneaky about things and lie would not recommend this place to anyone. Oh and the toilet was clogged at check in and I had to plunge it myself because the guy who did it had left for the day …..poor poor poor don’t do it

Breakfast is good, fresh coffee available throughout the day. Great connection to the train, just a short walk away. Beds very comfortable. Room is spacious but shows wear and tear, it is not as new and shiny like in the pictures. We stayed for six nights and it was overall good, no major complaints.

The hotel is conveniently located off of Mass Ave in Brighton. The neighborhood seems quiet. My room was very clean. The decor and furnishings are a bit dated, but I wasn't looking for a 5-star property. My only real complaint is that the walls must be very thin because I could hear everything going on in the rooms around me. I had hoped to sleep in, but that wasn't possible.

Keep searching

We checked in and went to our room. The door didnt shut and had a chain for a lock, huge gaps around the door. The toilet didn't flush, lights didn't work, no plug- in for phone, TV didn't work, the heater made an awful noise that sounded like it was going to explode. I went and complained to front desk and they moved us the next morning. This room was not much better, the toilet did work, however no plug-ins, still the issue. We never got any house keeping the entire week we stayed. I trusted the reviews on hotel.com saying it was a 4.7 that was a lie. Its more like a 1.7. Came back to the hotel one night and had bugs crawling on the floor and 1 on my bed due to the gaps in the front door. But not much I could do, I had already paid for the room through hotel.com. If I hadn't I would have left the 1st night. Worst hotel ever. The staff was friendly enough. But not enough to make up for the hotel.
