Upon check in the employee was beyond rude to guests waiting, was polite to myself and 7yr old daughter. They took us off property to another location down the street. We didn't even stay the night, i paid upon check in and we couldn’t even shower as the towels provided were dirty and disgusting. There was 0 water pressure and the room was like something out of a horror movie. My 7yr old daughter was beyond scared to use the bathroom or sit on the bed. We basically washed our hands in the broken sink, and packed up bags and left for another hotel. Would love to get a refund, as I would not wish this hotel on my biggest enemy. Terrible place to book or stay,

Seems like only one person works the desk. After checking the person in in front of me he said “I’ll have to go downstairs to get your keys.” Five minutes later, he returns with keys. He then walks them to their room somewhere else out the front door. One person ahead of me and it took 30 minutes to get checked in. Very dingy hallways and room. I’m glad I didn’t bring my laptop.

Bait and Switch. Terrible.
Hands down the worst experience I have ever had. Bait and switch. The owners should be ashamed of themselves for this nonsense. The price for what you receive is borderline criminal. I have no idea how this hotel hasn't been shut down yet. Does the state not know you rent out the building next door? Half the reviews are positive as they stayed in the ACTUAL hotel. The other half were shuttled next door to a converted tenement building, and they do not inform you of this fact until you arrive. The images shown do NOT match reality. Parking is not free and they do not inform you of this; nor is there enough parking for all tenants. First come first served, good luck if you're late. My hotel room consisted of the following: A door that did not close properly and only featured a doorknob lock. The hardest mattress known to man paired with the flimsiest pillows ever stuffed. A small wall-mounted television hooked up to nothing but power; no cable, no satellite, no TV watching for me! Poorly functioning Wi-Fi. A microwave! A positive! No fridge!? A negative! Unvacuumed room carpets. There was even food on the ground when I walked in. A heavily stained mattress, not concealed by the thin bedspread. Mystery liquid stains on the walls when I walked in. The communal(!!!) bathroom door had a smashed door frame so the deadbolt and door handle didnt latch. Missing tiles, no mirror, door doesn't close, what more to say? Terrible. My worst stay in any hotel anywhere. Avoid.

Nicely kept buildings and units. Very friendly and knowledgeable front desk and building staff. My bedroom and shared bathroom were clean – Newer pillows, sheets and towels, even. The area around the building was well-kept, well-lit and secure – multiple locking doors and security cameras everywhere. It is located in a good and safe area close to many restaurants, bars and shops. I was comfortable walking back on the streets past midnight. It was nice to be able to extend my room check-out a couple of hours before my later flight. Staying here was a smart choice compared to spending $800 for the night at a nearby Boston hotel, and I got to experience the local neighborhood.

Simply said you got what you paid. but if you're the light sleeper, don't stay here. Other than that, like if you don't care the cleaness and the conditions, it's the eco stay place for one or two nights.

No Private Bathrooms. Yes. You read that right.
It was fine for the one night we stayed for HOWEVER - YOU DO NOT HAVE A PRIVATE BATHROOM. This is an apartment style / boarding house style inn with shared “community” space and shared community bathroom. Very weird. Wasn’t aware of that part. Floors were dusty and staircase was….Bostonian. Slept with a chair pinned up under the door handle. Again, it was FINE for the one night but had I known this was not a private room / private bathroom situation I wouldn’t have booked it. But was cheap and the staff was friendly. It’s fine if you’re fine with that. If you’re looking for the Hilton, then just book the Hilton.
