Great location
Pros:

Room was updated, clean and comfortable. It included a small safe, microwave and small refrigerator. Location was excellent. Directly across the street were the Mystic Shops and a nice gas station/ convenience store. Mystic Aquarium was another block over. It is adjacent to a Diner. Would stay again for a weekend.

Cons:

It is a bit noisy from the traffic and diner activity . No towel racks. The building was much older even though our room was improved.

clean, comfortable, and easy to access
Pros:

Room was splendid! Very clean. Did not hear noises from neighboring rooms or the room above which is huge on our list. The tub drained very slowly and the shower head sprayed everywhere but other than that we had no complaints. As for the view, we had construction in front of our room so
the view was not good. Cant control that so all is good. All in all we would give you a 90 out of 100.

Cons:

When we tried to check out there was noone at the desk. We had to leave our cards there and we were uncomfortable with that.
