Our second time here visiting family in the Boston area. Overall the place is a great value. We had a 2 bedroom suite and a 1 bedroom suite, loved having the full kitchen and the extra space. We didn’t cook, but the kitchen was fully stocked and even had dish soap and dishwasher detergent. Elly at the front desk was welcoming and put our rooms as close together as possible. The rooms are spacious, beds were clean and comfortable, but the decor needs a serious upgrade. Two years ago we were here and the rooms needed updating, but unfortunately they were still slightly musty and worn looking. Old ugly carpet, uncomfortable couch, dresser drawers broken and off-track, sliding mirror door off track, and our walk-in shower leaked so badly it was like a small pond on the bathroom floor every time we showered! On a positive note, the daily free breakfast was great. Eggs, toast, bagels, sausage or bacon, oatmeal, cereal, waffles, bananas and oranges, yogurt, juice. There was something for everyone and we filled up for the day. And the parking was plentiful and well-lit. The front desk staff were friendly and didn’t even mind when we stayed in the lobby watching the World Cup and playing cards until midnight! We also enjoyed taking a dip in the pool this trip, although the whole separate key at the front desk is a bit of an annoyance and the pool towels stored in an ugly old plastic tub was a bit of a disappointing surprise. I would have loved to given this Residence Inn a five star review, but it’s just not quite there. Hopefully room updates are scheduled soon and we would definitely consider staying there again.
