My room was clean, The lobby is not handicapped accessible unless you are already checked in. You have to enter into a side door, go through a exit into the garage and then reenter another part of the motel (with key card) to get to the lobby/rooms.

Ok stay, nothing fancy, the basics

This is a bare bones, older motel. It was ok, the staff weren't super friendly. Our tv wasn't working properly and the person on duty acted like it was a great inconvenience to help us. There was a bit of dirt on the floor in our room when we arrived, and my husband found a previous guests' bra in a corner. There are no elevators, so plan on walking the stairs. It was quiet, beds were comfortable, and the price was cheaper than a lot of Boston.

This property is a great location, but the management was not attentive to details: Improvements could include: 1) Fix towel bar in bathroom 2) Add a hoo to back of the bathroom door 3) Train the front staff to be more helpful and friendly 4) Always have front staff on site - AWOL for 20 minutes while waiting to check out 5) Add a comfortable sitting chair to the room All these suggestions are fixable, but reflect a lack of concern for guests

Very convenient bus stops in front of hotel. The staff very friendly. Very noisy especially the front door slamming every time it is shut…plus construction going on around the area does not help.

This was the most reasonable in the area for pricing. Gap under the door is big so not really quiet when people are going by. Can hear people in other rooms so not much insulating. Overall clean and that's important for me.

This place was a Super 8 until they changed its name two years ago. It's still pretty much a Super 8. That's not bad, just not anything special. It was clean and had a comfortable bed and it's only 4 miles from Harvard Square.

Overall good stay

Clean room with updated bath and no carpet which is a plus. We were in a room by the entry/exit door so the door slamming was annoying and noise from adjacent rooms was too. Thin walls and cracks under and around door. Easy quick drive into Boston. Other than that, a good experience.

The morning staff was very friendly, but the evening staff was not. The room amenities were fine, but there was a punched in hole in the bathroom door, holes in the ceilings, and it was just in need of a lot of repairs. Also instructions on how to work the tv would have been nice. Overall it was fine, but not better than other budget hotels.

Echos of Motel 6

The staff was friendly. Check-in went smoothly. The room is clean but in need of repair. The bathroom bowl is misaligned - it shakes when you sit on it. No leaks however. The towel rack is missing - only holes in its place. The door peephole is blocked with tissue paper - I was too scared to touch it.
