Nice little hotel in Watertown that won't break the bank. Quite, clean and simple. It had all the basic needs for us. Decent beds, pillows, AC and heat available. Spacious. Easy to park, get in and out.

Convenient location with a lot of parking. The room was nice and bed was comfortable. The TV set up was odd, not much of a selection. There were no amenities except free coffee and ice.

Totally functional, clean, and great for the price. It’s basic as hell, but if that’s all you need than it’s a great proximity to Boston/Cambridge and you don’t have to pay Boston/Cambridge hotel prices. Parking there but gets tight, the lot out front and the covered lot are not big so a bit tricky with a truck or a big van

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff at the front desk was helpful and friendly. The parking was very convenient--we were able to park right by our room. The entry to the building is secure, opened with our key card. Although our room did not have a microwave, there is one for community use by the front desk. The location was convenient for our morning flight, a 20-minute drive to Logan Airport. We were very happy with our choice of this hotel.

The hotel is located on a corner and has a small parking lot. From the outside it can be deceiving. My room was very nice. I had a double bed and the room was clean and provided enough space. The bathroom was clean and had enough towels. I would definitely stay again if I am ever in the area.
