I stayed from Tuesday to Friday last week and everything was decent on the inside everything seemed cool and pretty , hallways looked alittle old bedrooms as well, what was upsetting was first 2 night the pool was closed when i was told it should have been open the next day but wasn’t they didn’t open the gym and pool until Thursday which was my last night , I did receive a refund because of that situation. Breakfast was given in the morning and breakfast wasn’t that tasty more on the plain side ! But other than that everything seems cooled and it was a nice get away for me and my boyfriend Also btw the hotel was like in a back cut area alittle creepy and scary but I was safe the hole time / pool had like green water I didn’t like that at all !

Big open space but the walls between each room were super thin. I’ve stayed at many hotels and never been able to hear so much of what was going on in the rooms either side of me. Made it difficult to sleep. Also, no business office or computer / printer even and it’s a huge hotel. Lacks fillable water stations.

We were evacuated from Hyatt Place in Braintree due to failure of fire alarms at 10pm when we returned from Salem. They had known since 1pm but had not bothered to let any of the guests know ahead of time, so we were searching for a nearby hotel at 10pm on a Friday night. We found The Best Western about an hour away so ended up there at almost midnight. Sarah was at the front desk and was so kind and helpful. She fixed us a snack bag and made sure we didn't need anything before going to our room. After dealing with the rude and unhelpful management at Hyatt Place she was so appreciated. I would definitely recommend this place!

I experienced no problems other than a longer than normal wait to check in due to a number of guests arriving at the same time and also buses full of guests also. I understand the busyness of a hotel such as this but do think that the front desk staff were, unfortunately, very understaffed. They did the best they could but would have benefited from additional help in anticipation of this situation.

Great breakfast!!
We arrived late for our check-in. All was good, except I usually make the reservation and my husband always has the license plate information, so he usually goes into the lobby to check in. He had the reservation showing on his phone. We both have same last name and have been married 49 years. The clerk at the desk demanded that I come in to check in. No problem, just that we had never had that happen before. Other than that - all was great - clean room and the breakfast was wonderful! We will go back - but I will be extra sure I put the reservation in my husband's name!

As we were 25 minutes away from the hotel at 9:20 PM, the hotel called to tell us they overbooked the property and didn’t have our rooms anymore. We were shocked and had 4 kids in the car with us. We were told it was not their problem that we did not have rooms now. Horrible policy to overbook a hotel and put people out and do nothing to compensate them or make sure they find another hotel.

I don't know why this place has gotten crappy reviews. My room was big, silent and the A/C worked great. Bathroom was brand new. The place was fully booked too. Big breakfast. Maybe the rooms vary widely but I could not have been more pleasantly surprised. ALSO - I witnessed how hard multiple staff members worked to make guests happy. You just don't always see that these days. Good job, guys.

What a hole and this place should be condemned. Whoever owns this hotelshould be embarrassed or foreclosed on by whichever bank provided their loan for ownership. The only reason why I have it at 1 star was because there isn’t a score for half a star. However, many of the staff are very nice and this crap hole is not because of them. I sincerely feel sorry for the staff who are just trying to make a buck through an honest living and I give them a bunch of credit for trying their best to do their jobs. Also, considering they are “way understaffed” (as noted by each and every staff member’s very own words), I have no idea how this sorry version of the Overlook Hotel even has its doors still open for business. If the rooms were free, I would still rather sleep in my car than stay here in this or any future lifetime.

Asked for towels and was told that they would be ready around 7am. Called for towels after 7am and was told that they would send them up. Called several times afterwards and still couldn’t get any. Didn’t get towels until almost 1:00 pm after going to the desk and talking to the manager. The room never got cleaned nor were we asked if we wanted it cleaned. The carpet in the hallways was nasty and had a stinky smell. They really should replace all of the carpet.

Pissed off
Maintenance man tried entering room 2 hours after we arrived citing he was checking on fire extinguishers. Really ? I asked for a do not disturb card for door, desk could not provide one. Desk said house keeping was by request which was fine with me until house keeping entered room on several occasions even after I complained I didnt want it..As a result missing one $100 ipad pen that i left on the desk. Paint peeling on ceiling in several places Black mold possibly in one corner of shower. Carpeting wasnt that clean throughout the hotel. Restaurant for breakfast was good. Restaurant/Bar for Dinner was only open Fri and Sat night limited hours. Food was good. This was part of a 5 day stay for a dance competition. Definitely didnt feel safe staying there

This was our second stay at this hotel. The first was about a month ago and pretty nice. The bed was actually comfortable for our liking having a bit of softness, air conditioning worked and it was a much cooler weekend so the hallway temperature felt fine. This last stay, the hallway was very, very hot! Perhaps being an old hotel, it can’t handle summer temperatures? There are four elevators in the lobby only two were working and the hotel was full. Our room key stopped working each day that we were there. Come to find out on our last day that it wasn’t keyed in properly. Each day we walk ip the 5 flights of stairs and have to turn around and go back down to get a new key. Not convenient especially with groceries or other things in your hands. Our bed was very uncomfortable, this time it was very firm, lacking in any softness or cushioning feature. Shower area was old, needing some caulking around the showerhead. Air conditioning was on a fritz. Room Temperature definitely not correct. It would say 74 and you would literally be sweating. I’m from Florida. I keep my house at 77-78 in the summer and do not sweat when inside. Guessing the room a/c was 5-6 degrees off.

I'm not sure if I would stay there again.

Front desk people are very friendly and helpful. Free continental breakfast was great, variety of food to choose from. Our room is clean and quiet. The only unforgettable check in experienced was the room that they gave us was not ready so they gave us another room. Then the door key to that room doesn’t work consistently so they move us again to a different room which was an upgrade. It was just a hassle because we already unpack and settled our things when we find out our door key doesn’t work properly. But over all the place is great.

Sucked
Arrived and was told they were over booked and my room was no longer available that I made a reservation and paid for more than a month in advance. Was given a smaller room as a concession without a refund for the rate difference. There were large groups of high school kids running rough shod around the floors without any chaperone supervision, harassing people in the elevators, almost knocking people over in the lobby in front of staff, who said or did nothing to control the situation.

Hotel staff “mistakenly” barged in our room on two different occasions without knocking! First time , they said sorry. On the next day, they again invaded our privacy by entering our room again without knocking. This time, the excuse was, “when are you checking out today?” I was like really!?!?!

Checkin was a bit of disappointment. We waited in line for over 30 minutes to check in. 3 people at the front but only 2 were checking people in. Groups and lines were not organized. People jumping in wherever they pleased. While standing in line we heard multiple people saying they used there room key card to get in and it worked but when opening up the room someone was staying in that room. This was a bit concerning for safety of people and our belongings. Then this women said they gave her 3 different rooms and all 3 had people in them. This was not comforting. Our room was clean. Not very up to date but was useable for a 1 night stay. Downstairs areas very newly renovated.
