Really enjoyed my stay. So nice to arrive tired from travel to meet such helpful staff. My room was really comfortable, clean and spacious. Loved the breakfasts food and lovey dining area..
Very clean and well-maintained property with incredibly nice staff. Loved my stay! My only complaint is that the breakfast was not very good and the food options were very meh - would love to see some better, more nutritious options (more fruit, non-dairy milks, real eggs, less sugary cereal, etc). Other than that, I'd highly recommend it to anyone staying in this area!
The property was very clean. We loved the outdoor seating area. There's a great gastropub directly next door & a CVS in the adjacent parking lot so there is no need to drive if you don't want to. There is also access to a walking path right on site that leads to beautiful trails. Our son lives in Medford so we will definitely be back!
I enjoyed their buffet breakfast with adequate options. There is a kitchen in the rooms which really worked out for me. It is in a great locotion with easy access to transportation.
The property was in a convenient location for our visit and had lots of parking. We had issues with the AC in the first room they gave us it didn’t work at all but they did change our room and that was fine. Overall I’d say great value hotel. The water pressure for the shower was non existent and I think that some updating can be done to the hotel itself. The breakfast was hot and decent for hotel. Easy check in plenty of parking but I wouldn’t say this is a 5 star resort. It’s a great value hotel for the location.
Our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great, with huevos rancheros and potatoes on the menu in addition to other breads and yogurts. Overall a great stay.

Convenient location, above average breakfast, quiet rooms, helpful staff.
On the other hand when we checked into our room, we found one of the faucets in the bathroom had a steady leak that rapidly started collecting a pool of water in the floor. The reception staff immediately switched us to a different room.
It was very neat and clean, and the staff was certainly helpful. The woman who was at the front desk was great, because she helped clarify confusion involving my personal information in the system. It was based on what I had put in when I was running a business and traveling frequently. Now I'm retired, so we clarified those details, replacing my old email with a new one.
I always like a good fitness room, and this one has brand news equipment. In addition, the convenience of the good restaurant next door is appreciated. Thanks very much.

The facility was very clean and we enjoyed the free breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. We love the location and it’s close to several squares and restaurants.
This is a very nice place to stay in the Boston vicinity. Everything was lovely. The only negative was how uncomfortable the sofa in the room was, especially for a small person with short legs. Soft squishy decorative pillows might help. But I am sure that would not bother most people. Overall it was a very quiet spot and I will go back again.
