This place is good at budget and there are choices of tastes from different countries such as Korea, Chinese, Turkey, Middle East. There is McDonald's within walking distance. I saw Jaguar and Land Rover dealer not far. Taxi is convenient in Boston Metro area.

WOW, and not the good wow

The first thing that hits you the moment you enter the premises is the SMELL!! It’s between mildew, body odor and another unidentified unpleasant smell that made it really hard to tolerate. Everything is very outdated, paint peeling off the wall, the doors the bathroom etc….including an outdated inspection. The rooms look like they’re rent by the hour if you catch my drift. I found eyelashes stuck to the worn furniture, stains galore on the carpet, cigarette burns on the brown cover folded on the end of the bed, mold inside the ac unit, and stains on the white bed sheets and pillow cases. If the price wasn’t as cheap and I only needed it for a few hours of sleep before my flight, I would have definitely stayed at the airport on a bench. That would have been cleaner and safer. I had to pay an additional 10$ for parking as well. I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re on a really tight budget and don’t care if you have to share a bathroom or contract a skin rash or respiratory infection. The gentlemen who checked me in was nice. I was provided the tiniest thinest towel for the shower…um no thanks lol. By far the worst place I’ve ever stayed, and I travel ALOT. I would say invest in at LEAST some new carpet (or just remove it all) and beds/sheets/ mattresses

At least they moved me to a different location when I said this place is not up to standards, and I was surprised Hotel.com even listed this place. Rooms and facilities do not even come close to the images they advertise.

Staff was incredible, however, had to leave in the middle of the night due to not feeling safe/comfortable. There wasn’t even any hand soap in any of the bathrooms, cigarette burns on the sheets, & there were people smoking in the (connected?) room next to us. Would be a cute property if it was actually well kept. Guys at check in & while leaving were very nice & very understanding. Our “suite” was up three, VERY, steep flights of stairs. Could be a gem with a lots more TLC.

If you’re looking for a fancy hotel with all the bells and whistles, this isn’t it. But if that doesn’t bother you, it is convenient to pubic transportation, close to restaurants, and free parking. The staff was very attentive too.

yes, the property is old and dated. The common areas are shabby, worn and dirty but you’re getting a $90 a night room in a very expensive area. The room was clean. The bed was great. The air conditioner worked, Free parking. The staff was available courtesies and helpful. The neighborhood was nice with good restaurants in walking distance. The price for the night was a bargain. So if you want an updated and spotless facility go elsewhere and pay hundreds of dollars a night. If you are looking for a clean room and bed for the night this is the place.

Move on

Location is good but the hygiene is simply awful. The place is falling apart and there are no amenities. Staff are very pleasant and nice and they try. Location is very close to Harvard, loads of restaurants but the houses on the street need a whole hell of a lot of love. Shared bathroom, no soap or shower gel or any amenities so buyer beware. Final pro tip: Check the bed sheets for stains, we found dried in coffee or something dark anyway!

The whole building is filthy and out of maintenance. The hygienic condition is far below the minimum standard. Toilet not working, no soap, no shampoo, no TV, the mattresses are screamy without springs. The bedding didn’t look clean. The overall service and condition are significantly worse than what is advertised on the website. Do not come, it is a fraud.

Budget Friedly Stay

The place was definitely a budget friendly and cheap stay while being close to the center of New York. The reception staff was very friendly and accommodating. However, the place was very old and a bit run down. The common areas weren’t very clean and the bedroom had broken and old furniture. If you are looking for something cheap to sleep in is a good choice, but if you are looking for a quality stay, this is not the right for you.

Bed, pillows & linens were comfortable! No towels in the room. Never asked about options, so be prepared or ask ahead. Staff was helpful and parking was excellent! The price was right, and the area great for dining, walking, though don’t expect the Ritz. If the property were more posh, the price would be too! There are very delicious options, Asia, Ethnic, Breakfast restaurants. Enjoy!
