When I was checking in at 1:15 PM, I was greeted by a rude women, who first said, all the is available is smoking. I stated I don't smoke and my allergies are bothered by smoking, she stated, what do you expect, you got the room on Priceline, I paid $218.00 and was treated like I spent $10.00. I was told, after I said, there was no way I was going to spend a night in a smoking room, she told me, I could have a handicap room, but couldn't check in until 4 PM. Bad experience, horrible.

Positives: The best thing, I will never stay there again.

Negatives: Rude service, no shuttle service, had to fight for a non smoking room, the room needed repair.

TV remote did not work upon arrival. The AC unit was dated and in two pieces somewhat disassembled. The window leaked and the carpet was quite wet from the rain. The restaurant was good for breakfast, closed for lunch and marginal for dinner. Wet carpet was never properly addressed during a several day stay.

Positives: Free WiFi.

Negatives: Restaurant other than breakfast.

There was room service and pizza boxes left in the hallway on the floor Friday through Sunday and the hallway smelled. There were also no accommodation made for guests for safe drinking water in bottled form since the tap water was unsafe to drink.

Positives: Close to where I worked.

Negatives: No safe water provided or clean accommodations.

I was satisfied with this hotel until they had a party going on one night. It lasted until 2 am and I was unable to sleep. I was on the 4th floor and could feel the base all the way up there. I repeatedly called the front desk to ask them to turn it down. They did not. I also went down and talked to the manager of the party. They said they had turned it down (you couldn't tell if they had), she said it would be over at 1:30, at 2 it was still going. It was ridiculous, especially since most of the guests were there for the Boston Marathon and needed the sleep.

Positives: Free upgrade in room.

Negatives: They had a rave going on until 2 in the morning and

This hotel was an excellent choice for a business trip. It was within 3 minutes of my business meeting, in an area of the city that appeared safe, but there was no reason for me to leave the hotel, except to attend my business meeting. The staff was wonderful, the room was clean and very comfortable, and it was easy to find. I will stay there again. FromCapeCod

I would totally recommend this hotel to anyone that is in the area for business. It was centrally located to the public transportation to could connect you to anywhere in the Boston Metro area. Though this would not my the idea spot for a romantic getaway because of the location in the downtown area of Somerville.

Negatives: I was not very fond of my waitress when I dined for breakfast.

I stay in suites most of the time but the room size was more than roomy for a hotel room. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the room (6 pillows and all) and the friendly staff. I also liked that they had security guards at night. I was very impressed with this Holiday Inn.

Positives: Very clean, nice location, very secure.

Negatives: Limited pool hours.

This was conveniently located to the events we were in town for and a couple of blocks from a subway stop. The lobby, restaurant, pool areas, and the room were nice. I would have liked a continental breakfast and possibly some easy access restaurants right next door, but really we weren't far from anything. It was nicer than I expected.

Positives: Lobby and amenities were lovely and convenient.

Negatives: Wish they had a free continental breakfast.
