We recently stayed here because if was one of the few hotels close to longwood gardens that accepted dogs. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. The room could use some updating but was very clean. They are adding a new section to the hotel and so construction was going on by the pool. What we liked about the room was the two entries; one leading the the corridor and lobby and another to the pool area. Next to the pool area there is a grass section that allowed us to walk our dogs. The hotel is behind the end of a highway but suprisingly enough, it was very quiet. The staff was very friendly. The continental breakfast was nothing to get excited about but it was nice to have fresh coffee. The hotel is accross the street from a plaza with a grocery store, burlington coat factory, bostone market and other stores. This was very convenient for us. There is a restaurant in the hotel but we did not try it. The hotel has a listing of directions to area attractions and restaurant, I recommend you do not use these directions. We tried several times and got lost every time. The directions were wrong and we finallly grabbed a map and followed our own directions.
