: This is a no-frills, roadside motel, so don't expect the Ritz! It was cute, clean, and affordable. Friend and I went up to Boston and Springfield for the weekend, and to see the Patriots on Sunday November 20! This was a great spot in between the 2, and an easy drive to Gillette Stadium. - The manager on-duty at check-in was super friendly, and had some suggestions for food and things to check out. - Bed was comfy overall, the room was clean, and parking was plentiful. - Great shower/water pressure, nice mini fridge/freezer, and good-sized TV. - Decent shopping and attractions nearby, a few local hidden gems - Best Pizza, The Chieftain, The Thirsty Beaver, to name a few. - And easy access to 95 and 495. For the price, the comfort, cleanliness, and proximity to Boston, you can't beat this value! Especially if you're not going to spend a great deal of time in the room anyway!
: When I say no-frills, I mean no-frills! No breakfast, no coffeemaker, no ice or vending machines, and no microwave. It's literally a place to sleep and shower! I don't care about motel or hotel breakfast anyway, so that doesn't bother me. I don't drink coffee, so I couldn't care less about not having a coffeemaker in the room. Not having an ice machine was a bit of a downer. I was hoping to keep my beers and sodas chilled while in and out of the room, without having to load up and unload the fridge. But, there were gas stations and convenience stores close by to buy bags of ice. I had some leftovers I was hoping to heat up, but - no such luck here :-( So, I know these are things that matter to some folks, so, keep that in mind if you are considering a stay here. The pillows weren't very comfortable at all. There was one tiny trash can, which quickly filled up and spilled into the floor. And I didn't see a single trash can outside or on the property. Maybe there was a communal trash can or dumpster somewhere, but I didn't see it. For those who are a little more demanding, you may want to consider bringing your own pillows, a trash bag, picking up ice on your way, and not bringing any food items you'd like to heat up! Again, all in all, a clean, comfortable sleep, a nice shower, a great location, and an easy in/out on the main road.
