Correct but not fantastic
Pros:

The property is well located, bed is confortable and the are 2 rooms and a small kitchen.
The breakfast is good and there is an outside terrace

Cons:

They charge you $100 for the pet up to 4 nights (more expensive after) because they say they need extra cleaning. But when you come into the room you realize that they did not even clean properly and they is for instance a bunch of cherry on the floor (see picture). So I can’t imagine what it is with pet hairs…. And one of the towels had a suspicious brown stain.
I came in 1 week before the stay to check the pet policy because after 3 mails I had no answer. They told me it is $75. But then they asked me $100, and the explanation was « we did not charge the right pet policy ». Well that is a 33% increase!!!

Pros:

We stayed for 22 nights for birth of our first grandchild. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast staff and food. Quiet and comfortable. Easy walk to many restaurants: Free parking!

Cons:

Low water pressure in our shower. The AC fan blew at very high speed and couldn’t control to low level, so either really cold or nothing.

Expensive due to fifa World Cup, not the best breakfast, but clean and simple hotel. Good location.
Pros:

Good location. Easy access to alewife trainstation. Nice employees, service minded.

Cons:

AC makes a lot of noise and it becomes pretty warm in the room during night when it’s warm outside.

Breakfast was very simple. Scrambled eggs are made on powder. Would be good to see some more bread, home made eggs and bacons. And maybe some ham or cheese to put on the bread.

High cost, bad breakfast, poor service.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

No sheets for the bed we reserved. So that bed was not made when we arrived. The hotel did not make it. We pieced elements together ourselves

Affordable 3 stars Hilton.
Pros:

Suites correctes, mais j’ai du avoir une cuisine dont je n’avais aucun besoin: ils n’ont pas de chambres. Petit déjeuner ok mais peu varié et la cuisine paraît assez sale. Prix raisonnables.

Cons:

Aucun charme, c’est vraiment l’hôtel de chaîne de moyenne gamme.
