Clarion Inn-Wakefield/Boston Metro

The details before booking said the rooms have a view of the city or the lake, our view was of the parking lot. No fridge in the room, there were yellow stained towels folded on top of the toilet seat, and the heat/ac would stay on for 30seconds then shut off and go back on a few minutes later and so on. I'd recommend staying here if you're on a budget and just need a bed to lay in. Staff was very pleasant and upbeat though!

I like the free coffee and the bar in the hotel. Everybody were friendly. It was very affordable and clean.

They have an enforcer front desk clerk that tells guests not to book through Expedia and family members of the owners are there 24/7 speaking in a condescending fashion.

The staff was fine. I actually took an early flight from california from the bay area to boston logan shuttle then train then commuter rail walked 1 mile. Made it there by 9 am.. Check in is at 4pm. They were nice enough to let me check in at 9 am in the morning. I was tired and wanted to relax. I didnt ask them to do this. They didnt ask me if I wanted to. they just gave me the key. That was nice. there is a dinner inside karoke,, pool table lake is right outside the window, bar etc... The Angus Burger and Chicken Quesadilla is pretty good. I had not intention on eating there but it was convienient. Very. No problems no issues. for 55 a night it was an ok situation. I was there from jan27th checked out jan 31st Bathroom toilet all around the entire toilet could have been wiped down better. The towels should be looked over much more carefully. Would I stay there again. Nope. Did I have an ok time yes.

The hotel is a little dated but the staff is working hard to keep it in good shape. The staff is excellent. I have been in much more upscale hotels where the staff was very rude. You would never find that at the Clarion where they bend over backwards to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I would certainly recommend tis hote to any out of town guests.

Wakefield is my home town, so I select this hotel for sentimental reasons every time I visit, but readers should know it is a beautiful location on Lake Quannapowitt, right off off an exit for Route 128/95 making access to Boston easy. In recent years, the hotel's property had not been maintained but since becoming part of a chain (Clarion), little bit by little bit, physical improvements are being made. More needs to be done, but for the location and the price it's a good, safe value.

We came in late at night. When we went to our room we found that the heat was not working. Within 5 minutes they had us in a new room with heat. Plus they gave us a complimentary breakfast for our trouble.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a little chilly but we were given an extra blanket. Close to a train station to take you into Boston and only a short drive in the car.
