1) Cheapest option by far anywhere near Logan.
2) perfect public transport accessibility
3) rooms are fair but even so by far best place if you just need a place to stay to catch an early plane next day
4) staff was friendly and accommodating

Adequate if you just want a hot shower and a clean bed. The bed was comfortable and the heater worked well. My main problem is it says on hotel.com that this place is 4 miles from the airport. It is actually at least 11 miles from the airport. There are not a lot of creature comforts like in adequate place to hang your clothes because there were no hangers.

you have to keep in mind what you are paying .... public areas are looking pretty tiered - but the room itself was great - large with comfy beds, clean and recently decorated . No view - Window onto the corridor but again remember what you are paying! No food on site so come equipped. We arrived in the middle of the night and checkin was 24 hour and easy ..... great onenighter!

The room itself is nice, for the most part. Sheets were clean and appliances/furniture in good condition, but the curtains were stained and musty from smoke. The smell of smoke is very overwhelming - t’s quite clear that people have smoked inside the room which gave both my partner and I a headache. The ice machine was broken and the lobby looked poorly kept. The front desk lady was friendly and prompt.

Crapy
The room was decently clean. The mattress was completely horrible and uncomfortable.
It was on a metal frame that squeaked. You could smell smoke constantly as well as here the TV from the room below.
It was completely disgusting outside with trash everywhere. I wouldn’t stay there again if I had to I’d rather sleep in my car.

The room was fairly clean, floors could have used being mopped, bottom of white socks were black from walking on the floor!!!
The mattress was hard as a rock, cheap spring mattress or possibly a box springs!!!
Took 2 days to get a remote for the TV and extra pillows, and on the second day the key card would not work!
Overall, on a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it a 3!!!
This was the first time we stayed there & I Would never stay there again!
They staff seemed friendly!,
