6/10 Okay

Definitely on need of updating and definitely more of a residential place than a hotel. Just needed one night but ones super busy October weekend anything closer to Salem (all the tourists in October) or closer to Boston (Head of the Charles Regatta) were significantly more expensive. This also happened to be next to the Baldwin Bar in Szechuan Garden which is a phenomenal bar upstairs and amazing Chinese food down.
Super-slow check-in with a front desk clerk that barely spoke (barely spoke English?). Elevator was out of order. Clerk walked us up to our room on the third floor (weird). Stood by as we went to unlock and enter our room. Our keys didn’t work - and seemingly expecting that, he had his master key out and let us in that way.
Room was stark and blah. Vinyl “hard wood” floors, stark white sheets and comforter. 3 pillows on bed. Ugly vinyl(?) couch. Dim and harsh lighting. Seemed like it was decorated and furnished to be easy to hose down for a cleaning…
