Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We just finished a 10-day stay at the Boston. We booked our reservation sight-unseen and, having booked a package deal through Travelocity, we were locked in and couldn’t cancel or shorten our stay. So after an extensive stay, here’s the good, the bad, and the ugly…
First, the good: the Boston motel is very close to transit, dining, and amenities. Also, the staff at the Boston are friendly, readily available, and very responsive.
The bad: there are a LOT of issues for the staff to be responsive to. The drains clog. We blew an electrical fuse in our unit simply by turning on a hair dryer. The furniture looks much nicer online than it actually is, for example: tables wobble at the joints like they might fall apart if you’re not extremely careful with them. The wood-colored paint on our table actually came off on anything we set on the table.
The ugly: the grounds are sorely in need of TLC — the siding on the building has been removed or is missing in places. There’s inadequate garbage pickup which results in litter throughout the grounds. The floor of our unit felt like it’s had moisture damage at some point in the past—you can feel it bend beneath your feet in spots. The walls and ceilings are also very thin — you’ll get to know your neighbors quite intimately during your stay. Finally, while the rooms are labeled as non-smoking, there are ashtrays a few feet from the motel room doors which has left several of the rooms smelling of smoke.
Respectfully, wouldn’t return.
