Charming area & building. It was quiet, peaceful & easy to get a good night's sleep. Staff (especially the gentleman on for the evening/night shift were pleasant & helpful. The bed was comfortable & the handicapped shower with a hand held shower hose excellent in my husband's opinion. We would definitely stay here again.

Great value, clean and friendly

We had stayed here a couple of years ago before the renovation and decided to try it again after seeing pictures and reviews of the renovation. We were impressed with the communication of the staff as well as seeing the cleaner less musty smelling Hotel. Little improvements would be, some of the fixtures in the room are coming off the wall and need to be secured.

Great staff needs facility management suoport.

This place was likely a fine establishment in its heyday. The staff is trying hard to delver the best they can. However, the lack of funding for facility maintenance is clearly showing. It's located on US 1, conveniently close the the famous Longwood Gardens. The price was fair. The contitions were disappointing. Hi-tech door locks were installed unprofessionally, leaving a poor first impression. Our bathroom door lacked hardware to latch closed. The electric for plugging in the TV, and your computers or chargers was downright dangerously loose. All of the recepackes (outlets) were loose! Thats a fire waiting to happen. The beds were okay, but the pillows were srangly soft and folded in half in their cases. The pickup breakfast was institutional "free" quality. The food, tables, silverware, garbage, arrangement in the dining area was so confusing, it created a traffic jam like a circus show of clowns. I hope they improve. We'll stay somewhere else next time.
Extention plugged into extension
6-pack dangeroisly loose,
Poor strike install to main door.
No door strike plate,. Bathroom door doesn't latch closed.
