    Amazing stay with friendly vibes

    The staff were super welcoming and genuinely cared about making my stay comfy. Loved chilling in the bar area, which felt like a cozy nook. Only wish the stairs weren't the only way up to the rooms. solid experience, and I'll def be back for more!

    chic interiors
    immaculate room
    thin walls

    Surprisingly chic interiors, room was immaculate with a brand-new bathroom! The central location made popping out for coffee a breeze.

    The walls might as well have ears—they're quite thin! I swear I heard the couple next door planning their next vacation—shouting, I mean!

    I absolutely loved how cozy and inviting my room was! The bed felt like cloud ☁️. Only downside was the parking situation – super tight. Would recommend for a comfy stay!

    clean room
    comfortable bed

    It was just an appropriate option for a weekend excursion in Dorchester with good price-quality ratio. The room was very clean with a comfortable bed. Bring your own snacks, as the restaurant is closed in the evenings.

    clean room
    friendly staff
    tight parking
    no evening meal
    limited on-site dining

    The standard double room was clean and well-appointed, featuring a comfy bed and spacious layout. Staff demonstrated exceptional friendliness and team support from check-in to check-out. Although there were no evening meals available on-site, several excellent dining options nearby provided great variety. Parking was a bit tight, which could be a concern for larger vehicles, but the location was convenient for exploring local attractions.

    cute bar

    Family with children, decent place

    Had a really nice bar area with comfy seating, it was surprisingly relaxing after a long day! The staff were friendly, helped us with our bags and made us feel very welcome.

    It wasn't exactly affordable, but still reasonable for what we got.
