Good stay!
"It was a nice family trip since I has to attend a weedding. The room was big! The kids were comfortable and so were we. I loved the fact that the room had a door so the kids could nap or sleep longer. The only thing is that the shower curtains were pink at the bottom which is very nasty!"

"It was a quiet place away from Boston. The staff was very friendly & helpful to any needs. We stayed on a weekday so we missed the bar/music. It probably would have been fun. Only downside was the busy traffic en route to airport. A good deal for a reasonable price."
