Clarion Inn-Wakefield/Boston Metro - Wakefield

Enjoyable

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall, a convenient location for a business trip. Friendly staff. When they cleaned my room, they took the soap and didn't replace it...grr.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The place was insufficent and it could of been a lot better. Ice machines didn't work, had to get it from the bar in the next building. Sheets on one bed, not on the other. TV button was broken off. A little spot of blood on the wall behind the sink! It was cheap. We were comfortable but we're also comfortable sleeping in the woods. Wouldn't stay there […] again. Read more

great place to be.

We've stayed at this motel many times over the past 50 years, long before it became Clarion Inn. We have always enjoyed our visits and the convenience. We were disappointed that there is no free continental type breakfast, the desk service was ok but nothing exceptional, the fact that you had to go to the bar to get ice was inconvenient. On our next […] visit to the area we'll probably consider elsewhere, even though the location is excellent for our purposes.. Read more

My sister and I stayed here when we went to Boston for St. Paddy's weekend. The reviews on here and tripadvisor did not bode too well for the Clarion, but we decided to take a chance. It was very easy to find off I95 and they were able to get us into a room earlier than the check-in time. They are doing renovations, so we were understanding of the furniture […] littered through the halls. However, there was pounding coming from the room right next to us which lasted for several hours. Though loud and annoying, that was the worst of it. The hotel itself is definitely not amazing, but the Employees were helpful. The location was really the best part of this place. It is in Wakefield, a smaller suburb of boston. Many cute shops and diners lined the streets of town, and the hotel is a very short drive from many restaurants, entertainment, and shopping. The Commuter Train into boston goes directly through. I got a great deal on this place, paying about half what other hotels were charging. If you are trying to save money and stay out of Boston, this is a great place. Read more

The hotel was very very good, but is kind of far from downtown Boston. However, it's really easy to get there, and the girl in the front desk told us how to go to downtown just taking a bus and the orange line of the metro. The only thing they could improve is the waitress who served our breakfast. She did not know what to ask when we ordered the food, […] and she always forgot something. Anyway, the pancakes we ate were 3 huge ones and is enough for 2 people! :) (Really good too) Read more

It wasn't bad. I didn't have any problems asides from the fact that some jerk opened up a package of coffee and my boyfriend not knowing picked it up upside down and it went everywhere leaving us no coffee at all because the other package of coffee was empty. Thanks housekeeping!. It wasn't bad for the price. You get what you pay for.

Hotel was well worn but clean. Price was fair for condition of hotel. Staff was very friendly and help full. I understand much needed renovations are being done.

I have stayed there a number of times and usually its very good. This time it was a little noiser then usual becuse of a family in the room next door.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The soundproofing is not good between rooms, but the hotel staff did their best to make certain that the guests next door did not intrude too much into the privacy of my room. I did let the staff know that the soundproofing was a problem.

The hotel room was not new, but was clean and well maintained. The main draw back was the lack of sound insulation in the room, as I was on the second floor, over the bar. This would probably have be an issue on the third floor, or elsewhere on the second floor, so that would be suggestion to anyone booking a room here: avoid being over the bar. (The […] same would hold for any hotel, actually-- they almost all have bars.) Otherwise, the hotel was well run, and very convenient to a seminar I attended in the town for two days. Read more

I really like the setup of the Hotel and the staff was really helpful. Three things that really put myself and a friend of mine off. a) The bedroom. Even though the room was really nice and big and had two large beds. Each bed only had one thin blanket. We spend the thanksgiving weekend there, and it was really cold. Each of us only had the one this […] blanket to sleep under, having to keep the heater on all through our stay. It was not pleasant. More blankets should be made available esp during winter. b) The condition of the bath tub. After my flight to Boston and all the trouble to get to the Hotel, all I wanted to do was take a long bath. I couldnt , because the bathtub was in a terrible condition. The paint on the tub started peeling off and the tub was dirty. Had to opt for showers the entire weeked. c) The dining room utencils. We had breakfast downstairs in the eating area, the cups were mostly stained or most of them dirty! Similar to the knives and forks. You could see that has been washed, but it still contained traced of food on it, which was a big turn off Read more

Rates were good. Hotel needs an update. Noisy in the bar area at night. Rooms are small but somewhat clean. The hotel staff did not inform us of "free" breakfast every morning! Towels not replaced until I asked. Smells musty but location is good.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

no complaints, served its purpose, nice stay, nice people. worth the price I paid. Would definitely come back to this hotel when returning to the Boston area.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was fine never any problems

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Decent for short stay... Awesome price for what you get. Breakfast was mediocre. Far from Airport given traffic conditions into Boston. Employees very helpful and attentive. Flat screen TVs and a bathroom upgrade would take this up a few notches. Nice place. Not a five star but nice.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I dont think this hotel is cleaned at all. I have stayed there for one reason and one reason only, the price! its cheap, but you get what you pay for. I have found hair in the bed and all over the bathroom...GROSS!

Genuine Expedia guest review

When trying to get two children to sleep the bar was extremely loud!! It made it very difficult. Breakfast was pretty good. Very well set up. The staff was pleasant and helpful!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The staff was polite and checked us in with no problem. The hotel room was overall clean, however the bathroom was really old with some mold. You could tell that the bathroom really needs some remodeling. The bed was very comfortable and was good enough for an overnight stay. We were only there for 14 hrs or less due to a later check-in and early morning […] check-out. Read more

i like it, would stay again, if doing business in that area again, easy on and off highway, good breakfast quiet, nice, and clean, sharon

Great place to stay! We wanted a place not too far from our site seeing ventures, but not overly expensive or fancy. This was just the place. It was clean, neat, very comfortable. And the staff was amazing. Every single person greeted us with a smile. They were very friendly and helpful. We had a nice breakfast included in the price of the hotel. We […] both agreed we would stay there again for sure! Read more

The hotel is under renovations so there was a little noise early in the morning. The fan in the bathroom is VERY loud. The staff is great, the room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I have stayed here in the past and the upgrades are great !!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is making renovations, but the rooms are clean and it is a good hotel for the price

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff was friendly. The breakfast was Ok. You get what you pay for. The carpet was very dirty. There was a smell in the halls and in our room. We bought candles to help with the smell. There are very few tv channels. The hot water would come and go. Was close to Boston and comfy beds but not much good otherwise.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was hidden behind a series of apartment buildings. The hotel itself was older and in need of some updates, but all in all was very clean, and appeared to have no shortage of hot water!!! The bed was soooo comfortable, and the pillows were to die for! The building itself smelled a bit musty, as if it had been closed up for a while, and the […] staff was pleasant enough. We stayed during Halloween, not knowing there was a bar downstairs (which was pretty loud, even on the second floor), the prices for drinks was outrageous, even for draft beer. We arrived at the end of the continental breakfast, and were truly disappointed. The eggs were cold and hard, as well as the french toast. As I was getting up, the waitress (who seemed to be in a terrible rush for us all to leave) took all the food away including the muffins which appeared to be the only edible thing left, besides cereal.

It's very convenient to get an access to the downtown of Boston if you avoid the rush hour. The room is OK for a couple of nights and they have a bar. The complimentary breakfast is also good and the staff is nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We just needed a place to sleep - this was perfect for that. The Continental Breakfast was absolutely wonderful! Much more than expected. We hung out at the bar at the end of our time out, which was a really GREAT time. The bartending staff were AWESOME, the band was fabulous - a truley great time!!

We checked in late which was no problem. The staff were very polite and freindly. Our room was clean and pleasant, not fancy but better than we expected. A fridge and microwave would have been nice although I think they will supply those if requested. Complimentary breakfast was excellent and free fresh coffee all night was a plus.We will stay there […] again. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room was small for three people but basically clean, bathroom/shower were just okay for my 6'2" husband. But if you just need a cheaper, clean place to sleep, and then you're off to sightsee - then this place works.

Genuine Expedia guest review

carpet needs to changed dirty....no elevator what about people with disabilities? Breakfast Great ! Place needs to continue to update and remodel for that amount of money spent. Fair only

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is under renovation as it under new management and is now a Clarion Hotel. Staff went out of their way to get us settled in, room was clean and neat, plenty of towels, and enough flat surfaces to put all our luggage on. We stayed for 3 days, breakfast was great, both hot and cold food, and a plesant room to eat in. The staff kept the food stocked […] and the room clean. On the third day they had moved to another room for breakfast that was even nicer. You could see the workers about the hotel doing repairs and keeping the outside clean. It does need updating but nothing that is horrible. We would definately stay here again. Very close to Interstate, and several restaurants and mall within a mile. Only breakfast on site, tho I heard a staff member say they hope to be bringing Sunday brunch back soon. Read more

It is an older hotel that needs... and I mean NEEDS... Lots of WORK. Plus I did not apreciate walking into the bar area and hearing the BARTENDER drop an Fbomb! .... Never again! I think they should have paid ME to stay there.
