Location wise it was good for what I needed it to be but I wouldnt go out of my way to stay here

Liked: Was in the area for a concert at Brighton music hall, so I liked how close to the venue it was
Disliked: The hallways smelled like weed. And as a sober person it was really gross, especially having to pay a 150 deposit for smoking.

Only use it if your engagements are close by and that you have a car.

Liked: It was within walking distance to the workshops I was attending. Though it did not serve breakfast, there were both a Starbucks and a Dunkin Doughnuts within walking distance. No breakfast cafe was nearby. You would need a car to go further afield. The room was large enough that I could do my yoga/pilattes.
Disliked: There was no safe in the room as advertised. I had to ask staff to turn on the refrigerator in the room since there was a small stem that needed to be turned in the back to get it to work. The towels were thread bare or at least needed to be replaced. The cable television was part of the TLC cable - so there were no network television, so I just had to result to reruns of "Antiques Roadshow" on a loop. The "maid service" was only during the week. So the room was not made up during the weekends. I was given the room for disabled people next to the door to the parking area - all night long I could hear people coming in and out. Also, since there is not carpeting, when people closed their doors you could hear them. PS: There is no gym nor pool nor garden.
