The hotel was in a great spot, half way between Boston & Salem/Glouster, lots to see & do. The rooms were clean, beds comfy. We had 2 rooms, one for non & one for the smokers (yes, even smokers are entitled to a carefree vacation, & thank you for that!) The in-room coffee maker was wonderful. Only criticism is that the 2nd room, although it had an added bonus of an in-room fridge & microwave, which we weren't expecting, was just kind of dumped in the back of the room, limiting walking space & access to the closet. We managed to cope. The free breakfast buffet wasn't bad, had the basics, we were able to eat & run off to do fun stuff, saving us time & money. I'd recommend it & go there again. Rates were great. A good value, comfy room, & convenient location. Who could ask for anything more?
Went with visitors, hoped for a clean but unfancy motel. The room smelled slightly, exterior doors, the hotel itself felt like Army surplus, the walls are thin (could hear the neighbors TV all night), and the pile of old furniture was heaped behind the second building. The staff was pleasant, the breakfast adequate. Would not take visitors again. Apparently, this was what 60 gets you in outer Boston.
After reading the other reviews, I was leary to keep my reservation but, once we arrived, the room was small but clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly. They have recently painted the exterior and believe me, you can't miss the place. The map was helpful because it is located behind Dennys' and you would miss the driveway if you were unfamiliar with the area. Overall, if you are just looking for an affordable place to lay your head down for the night, I would stay here again. Remember, you get what you pay for.
It's an awkward turn around to get into the parking lot behind Dennys. Which was nice because the continental breakfast was kind of barren and lots of flies were in the breakfast area every morning we were there.Though the outside looks dumpy, the room itself was nice and clean enough (though I would have been happier if the curtains fully closed). We generally straighten up our stuff before we head out for the day, but apparently the cleaning staff will not give you any towels or soap, more coffee and cups, or give you a new plastic liner for your ice bucket if they feel you didn't tip them enough. (Which personally, lack of service means i'm not going to tip them as much the next day--so its a vicious cycle--but the front desk has all that stuff so you can get it no problem and THEY were friendly.)It's a straight run right down the road to Salem, which was very nice. It was convenient for our purposes and its across the street from a mall, so there were plenty of places to grab late night grub or stuff you forgot at home.Not the classiest place we've stayed, but not the shadiest. It's a cheap place to sleep, right?
The hotel is stuck in behind Denny's so we missed it at first when trying to find the entrance.The hotel itself needs a refurbishment -- there was a broken window frame in the stairwell leading up to the second floor, the parking lot had trash/broken glass, etc. all over the place. To be fair, the room itself, while very small, was also clean, but again, just shabby. The location is close to Salem, and is in the middle of a ton of shopping centers.I certainly would NOT stay there again unless it undergoes a major restoration.
Bugs in rooms, smelly rooms, swimming pool closed
