Handy location with or without the car
Guests mostly liked the location in Braintree, south of Boston. For motorists, it was conveniently close to major roads and shopping malls and offered free parking. If, like some reviewers, you're traveling without the car, it was nonetheless straightforward to get to downtown Boston using the subway. It was only a short walk to Braintree station for red T line services into the heart of the city.
positive:
Decent value for money
Guests often felt they got decent value for money because this motel offered affordable rates within striking distance of central Boston. The simple standard of the accommodation was fairly reflected in the price according to many reviewers, who often praised the spacious modern rooms and comfortable beds which made for a more than satisfactory shorter stay. However, some critics disliked the thin supplies of bathroom consumables that were provided and dim lighting.
