great location included parking friendly staff carpet ripples worn furniture need refurbishment
The location was great. It was very close to cabot circus. parking was included in the price (so convenient!). the staff were friendly and helpful. i had a double room and it was quite spacious.
The carpet had large ripples. I almost tripped a few times. the furniture looked faded and worn. the hotel seems to need refurbishment.

great location short taxi ride free parking weak pressure stained curtain old towels
I loved the location. it was great for shopping. the hotel is literally across the street from cabot circus and just a short taxi ride to the train station. Taxis were easy to get and arrived on time. i got a status report without even using the app! the free parking was a massive bonus.
The shower over the bath had very weak water pressure. the temperature control didn't work right. the shower curtain was badly stained brown at the bottom. i thought the towels seemed pretty old with frayed seams. there was a drink splash on the wall next to the bin that the cleaners missed.
