The hotel was a total disaster. The rooms were a nightmare, with springs sticking through the bed and a bathroom mirror too high for anyone of average height to use. The lack of WiFi made it even worse, and the TV channels didn't work properly. The noise from a nearby warehouse kept me up all night. I would never stay here again, even if I were paid to.

I found the hotel to have a central location with access to most of what I needed, but the area was less than picturesque. The rooms had definitely seen better days, with limited knee room in the toilet. The service was quite rude, but I appreciated the help with early check-in. The dining experience needed improvement, with tasteless scrambled eggs and bland sausages. However, the hand-cut steaks were delicious. The facilities were average in all aspects.

My stay at the hotel was disappointing. The rooms had stains on the bedding, no hot water, and the WiFi didn't work. It was not a pleasant experience, and I wouldn't stay here again even for free. The place could definitely use some updating, especially for guests with specific health issues like Crohn's disease.

The hotel offers a blend of positives and negatives. The rooms feel somewhat outdated but provide comfort, especially with the blackout curtains and quiet-closing doors. The layout, with three separate rooms behind one door designed for families, seemed practical.

The hotel is a mixed bag with some positives and negatives. The rooms, although clean and somewhat comfortable, need attention due to missing handles and poor-quality beds. The service was friendly but had some issues like no parking spaces available, a shocking mattress, and poor breakfast quality.

The dining experience was a mix of better-than-expected dishes and some that needed improvement. Overall, the facilities were basic but mostly functional.

The hotel is centrally located in Boston with free parking, making it a suitable choice for budget-conscious travelers. However, the rooms had issues with springs sticking out and oversized bathroom fixtures, and the overall atmosphere was not welcoming. The dining options lacked variety and the experience felt basic. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel's convenient location and cost-effective rates make it a decent choice for those on a tight budget.

The executive room I stayed in was in need of a complete renovation and very basic, but the fact that it was free was a plus. The service was good overall, with a friendly atmosphere, although there were instances of staff members serving while under the influence of alcohol. The location was convenient for a short stay, although it was rather noisy late at night. The dining experience was just up to expectation with a good choice of cooked breakfast, even though it was too late to taste it after 9.30. The facilities left room for improvement but were just sufficient. Overall a mixed experience with room for enhancement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were spacious enough for our group of 3 adults and 2 children, but being positioned above the restaurant with music playing late into the night made it hard to get a good night's sleep.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were functional but felt outdated from the eighties and were too hot, requiring constant window opening. On the plus side, they were of good size, offering a decent space. The service was friendly and helpful, making our stay comfortable.
