Positive Reviews
positive:
Affordable hotel close to Boston.
If you're looking for a budget break in Boston, then the Best Western Plus New Englander Motor Inn is a good option. Guests say it's one of the more affordable hotels in the area, and since it's just off the interstate, with free onsite parking, access to downtown Boston is easy.
positive:
Enjoy friendly, professional service.
From the warm welcome you'll receive at check-in, to the efficient, professional housekeeping, guests say that the service here is excellent. Staff work as a team in all areas of the hotel, in order to make you feel right at home. It helps to create a relaxed environment and an enjoyable experience.
positive:
Onsite dining with good food.
Unlike many motels which only offer breakfast, this one has a full Irish-American restaurant serving casual meals for lunch and dinner too. Guests are generally impressed with the quality of food, and it's a great convenience to have onsite, particularly if you arrive tired and hungry.
Negative Reviews
negative:
The bathrooms could use some renovation.
From slippery tiles to faulty toilets, there have been several complaints about the bathrooms. Generally, it seems that they're a bit old, and the fixtures in need of updating or replacing. If you have an issue, report it to the front desk, as staff apparently seem happy to give you a different room if possible.
negative:
Small breakfast area.
While the hotel has a spacious restaurant, the breakfast room is pretty small, and not always adequate for the number of people. Some guests have said that they had to take breakfast back to their room, since there was no table space available, and there can be queues at the buffet bar.
negative:
The Wi-Fi can be unreliable.
Free Wi-Fi is offered throughout the hotel, but it isn't always the most reliable, and guests have reported having to wait a long time to log on, or the signal dropping out while they're online. It could create some problems if you've got lots to get done, but it should be ok at quieter times of day.
