Travelers love the breakfast staff and the suite layout, but maintenance is slipping with reports of worn-out bathrooms and smells.

Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
- Sima at breakfast — she's a local legend who treats guests like family
- Suites with full kitchens (full-size fridge, stove, dishwasher)
- Free parking and reliable Wi-Fi for business travelers
Szybki przegląd: A functional extended-stay base that nails the 'home' vibe in the lobby but plays Russian Roulette with room cleanliness.
Przejrzane przez @AshleyH: I stayed here for a week and honestly, having a separate living room and that outdoor grill area made it feel like a real apartment. The free breakfast was a huge bonus, and the pool was perfect for relaxing. Definitely my go-to for longer trips near Boston.

Reality check
You might get a pristine renovated suite, or you might get one that smells like wet dog and cigarettes — consistency is the main issue here.
- You're on a long-term work contract and need to cook your own meals
- You're visiting Phillips Academy or Merrimack College and just need a bed
- You travel with a dog and need easy outdoor access
Czystość i Konserwacja
6
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report missed scheduled cleanings and having to beg for towels.
- Bathroom hygiene: Hit or miss. Reports of cracked sinks, weak water pressure, and 'gnats' in some units.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Peeling wallpaper and worn carpets are common complaints in non-renovated rooms.
- Linens & towels: Generally clean but can be scratchy. Check sheets for stains immediately upon arrival.
- Odors & scents: High risk of stale smoke or 'wet dog' smell in certain rooms. Request a deep-clean if you detect it.

5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The 'woods' view actually overlooks a quiet office park parking lot, which is peaceful at night.
💡The in-room dishwashers are tiny — don't expect to wash a full dinner party's load.
💡The elevator can be slow; taking the stairs is often faster if you're on the 2nd floor.
💡Housekeeping is often 'on request' for shorter stays — you have to ask if you want fresh towels daily.
💡The bathroom ventilation fans are weak; steam lingers for a long time.
