This place is awful, all the rooms smell like cigarettes, the property is in very bad condition, is cheap option for 1 night stay , I would not bring children here or pets
Room was clean and updated, part of the expansion section. Staff was polite and helpful. No elevator on site and not wheelchair friendly from what I'd seen. Vending machines on site. Would definitely stay here again
Room was clean, easy stay for something quick and inexpensive!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Pictures are so deceiving. I’ve been to Howard Johnson’s before in different states and this did not compare at all. It was a hole in the wall motel 6 vibe.
Aweful! $200 for 5 hours in a gross hotel. floor was sticky, mirror dirty, door frame was detached. Do yourself a favor and stay at the fairfeild down the road.
DO NOT BOOK HERE.
RATS all over the parking lot. The rugs were so dirty that it had crust building up. It looks like some people lived there. I didn't feel safe at all. Homeless people were sleeping by the stairs. It was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! I CANT BELIEVE ORBITZ has this property listed
We asked for non-smoking room but the room wasn’t non-smoking. If property doesn't have non-smoking they have to mention ahead of time so I consider for booking.
Awful rotten or moldy smell in the room. Cheap, bad and noisy beds.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room and the bed was comfortable, but there was loud noise from the fridge (on and off). Also there was no way to have light in the bathroom without the loud noise of the fan.
Still, this is a cheap motel and if I think about how much we paid with compare to other motels close to the airport, I think it is worthwhile.
Parking not secure, place very dirty. Towels and the floor are not clean

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
1) Cheapest option by far anywhere near Logan.
2) perfect public transport accessibility
3) rooms are fair but even so by far best place if you just need a place to stay to catch an early plane next day
4) staff was friendly and accommodating
