The front desk at night and the morning were pleasant. The hotel is in a good location to the train and downtown but far away enough from the hussle of the city. The full fitness center just steps away from property is a great partnership however it was closed on July 3rd no one knew why. Great room and walkable area.

This hotel is in such a good location for anyone wanting to explore Boston. The Lechmere station is close enough to walk to. There is a really nice mall which has been recently renovated and has lots of dining options. McDonald’s is almost in the backyard. The staff was amazing and very accommodating. Breakfast was great!!

If you are traveling with kids or friends make sure you get the 2 queens room. If the only option is King with sleeper couch, choose another hotel. There are two within walking distance. Sleeper couch mattress was so bad you are just sleeping in springs. No rooms were available to switch so we were stuck with two very uncomfortable nights.
