Loved every minute of our stay at this property. We would highly recommend it and will be back. If you can, get the single cottage option in the back of the property but any room would be great here.

There are no full time staff onsite. The hotel across the street manages it, so if need something they come across the street. For example, the shampoo and conditioner bottles were missing in the shower, so I contacted them through the One Key app and they quickly responded and came over to put in the missing bottles. Room is rather small with no refrigerator, microwave, or coffee maker, as these are all located in the nice and spacious common room downstairs. OK selection of TV channels, except the NESN channel was listed as “not available” which means I missed a Red Sox game. Fans beware!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
We gave this property a 3 star for several reasons. To start, the positives of the property are: New build, modern styling, seating inside the common area and lots of seating and hang out on the exterior also, the bedding and pillows were comfortable and multiple options for pillows based on comfort. Also, David was a great host and helped us personally get into our room. As for the negatives of the property and hence only leaving a 3 star: There is no curtains that block light so every night was difficult to get the room dark enough to sleep from the outdoor property lights shining in our room all night. The TV is outdated and there isn't an option to connect to app services. There is only one keurig coffee maker for the whole property. No mini fridge in rooms. Two wine glasses in the kitchenette available for the property. The hallways smell like covered up dog smell. The bathroom counter was so small and no other cabinet to use to set items on while getting ready. The walls are so thin we couid hear kids running and stomping everyday and we could hear people coughing and it seemed like they were in the same room with us it was so loud. There's a noise machine in the room to help with this so I'm assuming they know its a problem. We could still hear all the noise with it running. There was an iron but no ironing board.
