I suggest that the company add handrails for the bathtub and towel racks or hooks so that guests can make the choice to be eco friendly and re-use towels more than one day.

Great option when traveling to or from boston. Virtually no traffic congention when leaving in the am. Right off the interstate. Becoming slightly dated, but was priced very reasonably so its a good bargain! Decent breakfast options as well for a continental.

Great budget hotel! Basic accommodations but clean and up-to-date. For a budget hotel I was impressed with how comfortable the beds were! The staff were very friendly at check-in/check-out and attentive to the breakfast area in the morning. Only minor complaint was the walls seemed a bit thin but didn’t bother us too much.
