Pros (+) The atmosphere between staff and guests as well as between guests was friendly and inviting. The hotel staff also helped my group with a few extra things like printing our boarding passes since we didn't have access to a printer. Free breakfast was also a nice perk.
Cons (-) The hotel facilities seemed outdated. However, everything was in working order for my group, so this is merely a complaint about appearance.

Pros (+) Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast each morning of juice/coffee/toast/fruit. Large rooms. Easy/free parking. Next door there is an IHOP, McDonald's and Starbuck. Safe neighborhood. I was there for business in Harvard Square/Cambridge and used Uber, Metro Taxi, and my car. Easy to get around and convenient. Cheapest rate I could find in the area. Pleased all around.
Cons (-) Used to be a Days Inn so could use some updating, but for the rate, a great find. Would definitely stay again.

Pros (+) It was close to the paradise night club where our concert was. Also located right by a very nice river walk trail. Bed was nice and comfy and room was clean. The desk attendant was very friendly. A good price too.
Cons (-) The door was hard to close and the water from the faucet was dripping. The neighbors were also very loud with their screaming kids during the day.

Pros (+) Fairly comfortable and clean. Includes light breakfast and parking. A few miles from city center.
Cons (-) The mouse. It woke me up around midnight of our second night there. It was running around and chewing on something. My boyfriend didn't hear it initially because he's a heavier sleeper than me. I thought I was hearing things. After we turned off the lights, I heard it again. This time, he did too. I couldn't sleep after that. I had the lights on for about an hour or so. My boyfriend was tired from...

Pros (+) The front desk staff was very friendly.
Cons (-) Honestly, this place was disappointing. I had to open the windows to air out the overwhelming perfume smell in my room. It was so strong, I couldn't stop coughing. Then, I couldn't lock the windows back up when I needed to close them. There was garbage all over the parking lot too. Definitely not worth $100/night.
