Even though it was in renovation, it was a good night, the rooms are decent.
Yes I been a known visitor at this hotel ever since they was Econo Lodge and it's been a well experience and yeah of course it's been a few issues but for the most part nothing for me not to come back. The staff and management been good to me and understanding for my comfort and situations. I would recommend a stay to someone if needed. Thank you
My stay was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Every visit has been consistently good, and I truly appreciate the great service. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely keep coming back!
Very Nice facility, currently being renovated as of this review (Sept 2025). Older building, not easily accessible for those who are disabled, I do not recall seeing an elevator for the second floor. This facility does accept cash for room rentals. The staff when we showed up late at night were very accommodating and very polite. The rooms were very nice and clean. Only thing is, they may want to sweep or mop the floors better. Having a Roku TV and the usual amenities is very nice and we were able to relax and watch whatever on streaming while resting on the clean, comfy and neatly prepared beds. I recommend this location. Well lit and cozy. When this facility has the upgrade completed, they will definitely be a five star motel. Thank you to the staff for their welcoming and I recommend this location for an affordable & comfortable stay.

Howard Johnson's in Malden, Massachusetts aka Greater Boston is Definitely my #1 Hotel in Boston area for Best Value and a Hotel Room with new beds and TV and Bathroom. You think you are at a Marriott for half the price -- usually $89 to $109. Stores and Restaurants are less than 5 minute walk. From the owner Mr. Patel to the Staff like Lisa, they make you feel at home if you are here 1 day or 10. Great Bathroom Towels and Bedding. Can't Miss if you are on business or leisure and it is a Wyndhan Property for Rewards Members too!!! Scott Peterson

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
