Clarion Inn-Wakefield/Boston Metro Reviews

Conveniently close to Boston; low-cost option for a quick, overnight trip; the hotel, from what I heard, is still trying to renovate many of the rooms, but the one I stayed in was in dire straits - certainly in heavy need of full renovations, top to bottom; everything works fine (no complaints there - lights, hair-dryer, shower, slow toilet), but the infrastructure (wall, floor, bathroom, etc.) was beaten-up and falling apart; beds were made, but the sheets were very wrinkled and warn, making me question whether or not they were clean; could not find extra blankets, so blankets from second bed were used (doubled-up); heat in the room worked only through an old-school (in-the-wall/window) electric heater/air-conditioner which produced a dry, stuffy heat and it was very loud (and falling apart); lobby and restaurant/bar was about as simple as can be (and could use a big freshening-up, too); I happen to find nothing wrong with "scary dive-bars," so I found nothing wrong with this place; night-staff was missing a smile, and day-time staff was nice and considerate, but could only do so much without a magic wand; parking was free and plentiful; location at intersection of 95/93 is superb for getting in fast (and getting out even faster); the price is extremely attractive, but I still think it's slightly over-priced (by ~$10); I would stay there again, but next time, knowing what I am in for! I enjoyed the savings compared to near-by hotels, and I got what I needed: a bed and roof.

You get what you pay for ... but plz read the fine print when booking

we booked this stay with expedia 20 minutes before we got there. Paid under $200.00 for 3 days. ( 65 a night ). This hotel is a transient hotel though so you have long term residents hanging at the front entrance smoking cigarettes. rooms were clean and neat ,spacious aznd recently done over. if you can get past the people talking to themselves then stay there.

The staff was super nice and friendly. For the price we paid the Clarion Inn is above average. Room was clean and comfortable.

Guy at the front desk was rude, I had to go through 1 hour of arguing just to stay there. Paid for a double room 2 double beds and only got 1 room with double beds

Booked a room here because it was cheapest and it's a reasonable drive to the TD Garden. Easy to get to. Staff was friendly. Location was a little shady and the condition of the building and room left much to be desired but if you're just looking for a place to stay near Boston, but affordable, this place does the trick.

No surprises just a positive place to stay. The staff is second to none.

The hotel this ok and the food for breakfast not good.

Though a bit old, it is very good for the price

I stayed for 5 nights in this hotel. Overall, it is a value for money. It's conveniently located near the bus stop, and looks out on a beautiful small lake.
