Decent hotel. Great staff!

Staff was nice. Location was fine. Breakfast was decent. The room had some minor issues, burn hole in the sofa, sink barely drained and the toilet had issues flushing. Nice otherwise!

This hotel is in such a good location for anyone wanting to explore Boston. The Lechmere station is close enough to walk to. There is a really nice mall which has been recently renovated and has lots of dining options. McDonald’s is almost in the backyard. The staff was amazing and very accommodating. Breakfast was great!!
