The staff was nice, the room we stayed in could use some updating and holes fixed in the wall though. Checked in super late and was too tired to change rooms. For the price though was to be expected and served its purpose.
We were down for the Ironman and this hotel suited our needs perfectly. Aside from it being quite run down and not overly clean, there were no bugs (bed or otherwise), and it was conveniently located with a wonderful Italian restaurant on the property as well as liquor store. You pay for what you get-this was the cheapest option we could find and we were happy with our stay.

Cheap is not always best but cheap works in a pinch. No coffee is a buzz kill and getting tv to work was a magic trick . Other than that no bugs and comfy bed !! Staff was nice and booking went smoothly !

Disliked: Cleanliness
Had to ask for TV to be fixed, floor to be swept, phone didn’t work, ants in bathroom. Shower good, had towels. Beds comfortable, but hard.Didn’t get a receipt. Housekeeping personnel was good.
The overall stay was okay. Nice size room and privacy but the housekeeping is a little slack. Found things that were left by previous occupants plus some trash in the microwave.
You get what you pay for here. Bed was like sleeping on plywood. Big hole in the wall, like human body sized hole. Shower was disgusting and a midget plumber must have installed the shower faucet at 5ft 9". Besides the shower, the rest of the rooms cleaniness was acceptable. At $50-$60 a night it would be ok. I paid over $100. For that price, you would be better off staying in your car and bathing in the marsh

Okay for the price
The bathroom was not clean. The shower had hair in it and the toilet was not very clean. We had a non smoking room but the odor of cannabis was overwhelming. We stayed for a hunting trip and for the price I can't really complain. I guess that's why it's a cheap place to stay.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Desk clerk was very nice. Hallway carpets were dirty, carpet in room was stained, coverlet on bed was stained. Beds were surprisingly comfortable. Bathroom sink finish was pitted, large black mark in tub. We were also unaware that there were unhomed families residing there. Lots of noise in the parking lot late at night. If there had been anywhere else that had available rooms in Cambridge, we would not have booked there.
Definitely not worth the $ for the room quality. The hallways constantly smell like smoke, I stayed two weeks cause it was the cheapest hotel I could find obviously but I wish I shedded more money out somewhere else. I was on business, but the coffee is barely ever going upfront. Half the staff can’t speak English. The maintenance man lived on site he was very friendly. I’ll give it about that. But it’s a run down motel. Hookers on site, I saw two people arrested and several altercations while staying there. I would never stay there with children. I won’t be back there.
The room seemed clean. The problem was the overall look and feel of the property. Very old property. Probably has had a few owners. No locks on the outside of the main entrance doors. I did not find an elevator. We were there for the Ironman race. While other properties were full, this one had very few occupants. We did not stay a second night, for which we paid, because there was only one vehicle in the parking lot besides us. Although the room was fine, the property did not seem safe. I would never go back. The staff person at the front desk was friendly.
