    Pros +

    • It's the only motel in Malden. Room = cleaner than expected based on the reviews I'd read. Quieter than expected - request a room facing the front! (The back is apparently v. noisy). Check-in was pretty easy. Bathroom = pretty clean. (Lightbulb died tho.)
    • That’s a trick question I guess!!!! Horrible hotel
    • The location

    Cons -

    • The front hallway smells like ten million dogs and people have urinated on the rug—awful. Mattresses = cheap; you can feel the springs. Not a great area. Only one place to get food - across the street.
    • Staff, room with non functioning toilet, smoking smell, room not cleaned and so on. Most guests in Google review have complained of the same things
    • Bedroom stink,dirt hallway,worse place I’ve been

    The location

    Bedroom stink,dirt hallway,worse place I’ve been

    My room was one of the renovated rooms. Clean, modern.

    * hallway was outdated, parking lot was a wreck * Loud hallways and I believe full time residents living there with zero respect to guests * Hard floors no carpet * There were maybe 8 TV channels available, allocal over the air

    Proximity to the T

    The outside had a lot of broken chairs, mattresses, and rat traps. The stairs to the back rooms were kind of scary. The hotel was very loud at night with activity. Slamming doors and conversations

    Close to the airport

    Booked a 2 bed room, only had one be

    1AbderrahimPosted on: 3-9-2023

    3Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 10-13-2022

    Room was clean.

    1. Location 2. Condition of the motel 3. Not as advertised - no coffee, etc 4. No elevator, room on 2nd floor up rickety outside stairs. 5. Less than polite clerk.

    location. clean room

    run down and dated. floor was peeling

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 5-2-2022

    Nothing. I received 37 bedbug bites on my face, arms, legs, feet. Needed at $21 prescription cream to reduce itch/inflammation

    Everything, the emergency room visit

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-17-2022

    Absolutely nothing

    Absolutely everything. The person who checked us in was rude. The parking was not adequate and poorly lit. The room smelt of stale air. We found hair in the ¿clean¿ towels. And smelled of weed. Needless to say we didn¿t stay and asked for refund

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-11-2021

    Close ish to Salem.

    Pretty bad experience. First room came with a complimentary side of fries and a water bottle. (Pic attachted) Floor not swept, hair on bathroom floor, all bed sheets were stained. Next room that was offered to us after complaints had a dirty hand tow

    1AbdoulayePosted on: 8-3-2021

    Outside rugs and window curtains are dirty. The receptionist very unprofessional and rude.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 7-27-2018

    Hotel was great! Check in and out times were wonderful. Enjoyed the breakfast.

    I wasn't able to shower due to the shower having been painted. Paint chips were all over the bottom of the tub. Also for a smoking room no ashtrays were provided.

    2Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 5-10-2018

    It was in a convenient location.

    Dingy and dirty; too disgusting to stay. We left!! Carpets are very old; external paint peeling off the building. Windows either didn't open or lacked the safety stops to avoid falling out. Essentially, basic maintenance is 10 years delayed. Yuck

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 3-26-2018

    The only thing I liked was the price.

    The room wasn't what I expected. The light and exhaust made a loud noise. The fridge kept going onand off, also making a loud noise. Very dissatisfied.!!!

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 5-3-2017

    Nothing. The room was nothing like your website advertised.

    The room stank of smoke and was advertised on your website as a non-smoking room. I am STILL trying to get my money back after checking out less than 20 minutes after checking in.

    1MarkPosted on: 4-20-2017

    Lots of parking

    Smelled like smoke in the room. Stains on the ceiling above the bed. Room was very dark because there are only a couple of dim lamps in the room

    1MarthaPosted on: 4-17-2017

    Terrible, dirty room, overpriced for that poor class of service.

    8DianePosted on: 9-30-2016

    Easy to find, nice parking, attentive staff

    The outside hallway was dark at one portion of our stay
