The place is clean and VERY affordable. The owner is a very nice person. This place is no 5 star hotel but for the price, you cannot beat it.

You get what you pay for, the rooms are only like $65 but are pretty nice. We had a no smoking room but it still smelled faintly of vape juice and cigarettes. Staff was helpful and friendly, didn't feel worried at all staying here.

Immersive camping hotel experience! Really cool hotel that let's you feel like you're camping all while in your room. The check in lady plays the part of a gruff park ranger that doesn't like campers because they mess up the forest. Upon entering your room you're hit with the smell of smoke like your next to a fire. Well a fire of cigarettes but still real smoke aroma! It's particularly strong in bathroom to let you know youre still going in nature. I tried to turn on the ac, of course there is no ac when camping. Ha! The bed was just like sleeping on the beautiful earth, hard and unforgiving.

This has to be the worst hotel I've ever stayed at. They'll lie to you at the counter that they don't have rooms when the entire pool building is empty. The room they gave us had a stove full of ants, the phone didn't even have cords, the water lines in the bathroom sink wasn't even connected and sprayed water on me when I tried to use it. They'll argue with you and refuse to charge you what you booked online, completely ignore your bookings and if you complain they'll tell you to go somewhere else. I used to stay here about a year ago and it was NOT like this. After staying here a week I'm never

1 star because there's nothing lower. Don't let the pictures fool you. We had to buy cleaning supplies to clean & get rid of smoke in our room. When we contacted front desk they claimed they couldn't do any thing. That when I took matters into my own hands to clean. We weren't here for business or pleasure. We had someone one there last days of life. Never again.

Absolute worst experience. Upon arrival, no vacancies. They sold my room even though I reserved it a week in advance. I was offered a room, but with no linens, or towels, and told not to complain. I said a few choice words and left. Do yourself a favor and book at the Best Western or Days Inn. Much better atmosphere and polite people.

Love the easy and quick check inn at front desk. Stayed their for a week for vacation but wifi was not upto mark. Had a good deck to sit in front . Would surely come back. Just so everybody reading this know that pool is not working ,so if you are someone coming for pool please look out for other choices.

Perfect place for an affordable, accommodating & clean for a weekend away. Mitesh, the day shift desk attendant, was extremely helpful allowing me and my boyfriend to check in early due to a train delay. All staff was kind & friendly. Will be back again!

Have been dropping my son at this place since a year every month for his work, but today was the first time i felt welcomed and served. The new old guy was fantastic and maybe the smartest of all the staff and his son (god bless his heart) . I spoke with him for half hour but his politeness and professionalism is at its peak and it is what this business needs. This 20 year old brown kid is just amazing. I was amazed by his intellectual skills. Would always come to this place only because of this kid and his happy face. I really suggest the management company to keep this kid , because he will bring

Don't stay here. The bed bugs, the filthy bathrooms, the smell. I booked a smoke free room and it definitely was NOT. The smell of pot and cigarettes is what lingers around this place. Yes, it is a motel and my expectations aren't high, but this place was treacherous. The price is sky high for what you will recieve.

I'm updating my review, because I came back 6 months later and was very pleasantly surprised at the changes. Nice improvements in the room- new mini fridge and microwave, flooring, vanity and LED (?) lighted mirror, and gone are the undesirable guests. It's quiet with them gone, and I feel safer.
They have worked very hard on making it much better, and it shows.

Giving a good reviews because of the value for the small amount of money it costs, as well as all the improvements made with the new owners over the last couple years.
This used to be a drug haven and place that bad people 'lived". They have all but gotten rid of that crowd.
It's safe now, as safe as a hotel can be in Westminster. The other ones close to this price point have bullet proof glass at the check in counter.
It isn't new, but it's improved. Great value for the money!
Sells out on weekends with people coming back to visit the area for a reason, because it&apos

Whoever is leaving these 5bstar generic style reviews are full of crap. Boston inn has been my worst hotel experience in my entire life (in my defense I'm only 26 so). I came here because of the severe safety issues at the days in down the road. Well huge mistake on my part. I had never in my life seen a dead body (from overdose) until I came here. Speaking to some of the locals in the area I was giving more info on this hotel's history. Apparently overdoses and prostitution is a regular here. I'm not sure why this hotel is still in business. We left the same day. I didn't bother

I reas the reviews and decided to give it a shot, seemed like it okay. I booked through booking.com and i k ow when i booked it stated free cancellation on the site so after booking i was reviewing my booking only to find that i would be fined if i cancelled.

Room was okay can tell the carpets needs a good clean,

The arm chair was broken when i went to sit in it nearly stabbing myself with a nail.

Cockraches are present in the room.

Decent place for the price. Owners greeted me at check in with a gift bag, really nice touch for the price. I had a king non smoking room, very spacious and clean. It's not the Hilton but it's also alot cheaper. I'd recommend this place to friends, great value for under $90. Also plenty of food options and shopping within a mile

Great place to stay in the area. Very friendly and accommodating staff, clean rooms and bathrooms. Decent breakfast items. I think they have the best pool, even better than the higher end places in the area. I will keep choosing this place as long as they keep up the good job.

Despite negative reviews, we booked a room here for a weekend trip to attend a friends wedding. The price was right. Reception was friendly. The room was in good shape. There was a coffee maker and plenty of toiletries and towels. Only negative experience was the cleaning crew knocking on our door bright and early. They did not stop until we woke up and came to the door. We wanted to sleep in since we arrived late at night. I'd definitely suggest to the ownership to provide a privacy door tag for customers to inform the maid they would like to not be bothered.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I had an issue with my room and management REFUSED to address it. The doors are super thin and I felt very unsafe (female traveling alone). Wish I could give 0 or minus 0 stars. Listen to the other reviewers, Avoid this place at all costs.

I don't do Yelp, but signed up solely to warn others away from this place. I'm not prissy, have stayed in some gnarly places, but this ... Really. Bad.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I booked this hotel to stay in over the weekend while visiting my wife's family. It was inexpensive and the reviews elsewhere seemed okay - very misleading. Checking in the staff was very rude to my wife. We booked a queen room and got a tiny room with a full bed. When asked about moving, the staff responded that's all they had available. Judging by the parking lot, the were lying. The next morning at 8 am, the "housecleaning crew" (owners very old parents) came to ask to clean to the room. When we told them we were still getting ready

Made a reservation here and wasn't informed that we couldn't cancel with a fee. Cancelled 2 weeks ahead of time and they charged us $85.00 when the Orbitz website said it would be $60 after we cancelled. I'm not sure why any hotel would charge a cancellation fee when you cancel that far in advance (1 or 2 days I can understand). I guess that what you get for being cheap and booking this crap hotel

Please read... so I would never write a bad review if I had a bad experience from just One visit, HOWEVER its been the last couple Times so . I feel its time to warn you all....for years my family and I used the hotel for a day at the pool experience or a day away being that we live here in town.My Mom has been coming here since she was younger and I for the past 15 yrs...so obviously it hadnt been that bad until recently. Prices used to be worth what u got but not anymore. So ok...we went this weekend (may 24,2015), as we entered the room it smelled like strong odor of crabs and rotten vag.hoping

I hate this place and would never recommend it to anyone. My husband and I stayed here for a month. The rooms aren't as clean as they should be, in fact they are pretty disgusting. Also, the front desk and housekeeping staff is mean and rude. Housekeeping will knock on your door every morning at 8 am. If you keep the privacy please sign out for more then 2 days you get yelled at. I thought this was about pleasing the customer... NOT HERE. The only nice thing is the pool.

Two words ... Bed bugs. I wanted to give this place a chance- honestly we can tolerate almost anything. But we found bugs as soon as we turned down the bedspread- disgusting. Front desk tried to dispute this even after showing them a picture and video! I think they were just worried about me spreading the word- too late! We were in and out in a matter of minutes. Sad.

Stayed here when a bunch of dog show people were in all the other rooms. Sound proofing? 4-stars! Didn't hear a single woof, but did hear some traffic.

Overall, great place. No frilly add-ons or benefits to staying here, so don't expect a penthouse suite, in-room massage, or anything of that sort. Do expect a clean room with courteous and friendly hotel staff.

Considering this was a no-frills joint (e.g, not even a coffee maker, and the towels were thin, skimpy), I think it deserves a respectable 3-stars, but here's what gave it the 4-star boost: IN-ROOM WIDESCREEN TV with FREE
