This was my first time booking a hotel using Hotwire, and probably my last. I can't even begin to tell you how truly awful this hotel is, but I will try to make a few points. Please know that I would not have even given this establishment 1 star but there was not a "0" star to choose.
First, the hotel is not in the best section of the city. I arrived late at night and felt truly uneasy walking to my room in the "B" building because of the poor parking lot lighting.
The Room: The chain lock for the door was broken, so there was no other lock. As a woman traveling alone, this was disturbing. The A/C was broken and the room remained at 82 degrees for the whole night. The beds were hard as rocks and actually smelled of body odor. Ewww. The best part of the room was the bathroom. It was clean, well lit and functional.
I actually prepaid for this room for 3 nights and left after one, moving down to the Sheraton which was more money but definitely worth it. I am not kidding when I say it was beyond awful. Doors slamming all night long, parties in the halls/rooms, people shouting. I actually left the hotel at 2am to go hang out at Logan Airport until my sister's flight came in at 7am. You know it must be bad if you are going to an AIRPORT to feel safe.
I would personally NEVER stay here nor recommend it to anyone. Howard Johnson should be embarrassed to have this establishment under their brand name.
Oh, and parking in their unsafe lot was $20 extra a night.
