Our room was nice and clean. Not your typical residence inn that has the divider wall but more like a studio. Checkin was easy. They were upfront about the parking fees. Which is stupid at $30 a night but oh well. Room was clean. Good size. Breakfast on a Sunday morning sucked. Flat out disgusting. The women that worked there were rude and not helpful. There were eggs. Turkey sausage and potatoes. Eggs I didn’t eat cause it’s that crap from a bag or powder. The sausage wasn’t even warmed up. It was cold. The potatoes were soaked in oil. The best thing I ate was the muffin that I toasted and buttered. I came back at 10 and those rude workers closed the kitchen right in your face. Not sure if they’re union workers but they sure work like they’re in a union. They don’t give an F about pleasing anyone. So do yourself a favor. Eat the stuff they don’t cook. Grab a banana and toast yourself a muffin or bread. Overall. Hotel is nice and clean. Breakfast sucks.

Great spot for a family trip. Only 15 min away from Boston. Target and many restaurants across the street. Room size was adequate for a family trip with a 2 yo and her toys. Breakfast has good offering. Staff was cordial. Would definitely come back.

Really great staff and rooms. The hotel is nice and is right next to a small mall and Target if you need to grab anything. My only complaint has to do with the breakfast options, there was nothing for vegan options except for a banana. Usually there is at least potatoes to eat but they only had eggs and meat.

In the Watertown area which has a Target and a big outdoor mall of eateries- but be aware- it’s pricey. My only complaint is the stomping/running/ scraping chairs/ dropping things coming from people above us. Not sure if they had a pet? Or liked to do evening exercises but every night could sleep until past midnight. Overall great and breakfast every morning was one less worry!

Arsenal Yards across the street is great as is the Charles River nearby. A 10 minute drive to Cambridge and Harvard Square topped it off nicely. That and pool time w our 5 year old!
