8/10 Very good

Overall, the Charles River Motel served its purpose. While the building and the room felt a bit dated, it was clean and the bed was comfortable. It’s conveniently located with easy access to Brighton, Cambridge and Watertown. For the price and a place to lay our heads, it worked out very well.

Decent. Great location. Might stay again, but very run down.

Knowing we wouldn’t be spending that much time in the room we took the gamble. As our kids called it, mom and dad’s skanky hotel. It felt tired and unfriendly. We felt unwelcome as we entered and exited. Wouldn’t stay again!

Good place to chase the old lady around.

Check in took forever. Place was bare bones. They advirtised a breakfast. There was zero breakfast. Not even coffee.

The room was somewhat clean. TV remote did not work, no channel guide for TV. There was no coffee maker but did have an ice bucket. Overall bed was comfortable.

Not very clean, smelled curry in my room, no coffee machine in the lobby not water.
Nicolas, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Yuk. Only stay if you have to.

Very shabby. Missing smoke detector. Hair in the tub. Dirty fingerprints on bathroom wall. Room number was a piece of paper taped to the door. View was a storage container. I left at 5:00 AM by choice. Paint job and caulking in the bathroom looked like it was done by a five year old. Tub stained Gross.
Nathan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Upon check in, at 3am, the staff said a room number out loud. I did not think about it at the time due to being exhusuted from a long travel day, however, as a single young woman traveling clearly alone, that was scary to think someone could have heard my room number. At 5 am, I was woken up by someone trying to open my door, and when I went to check the peep hole, the peep hole did not operate as it should. I have no visibility. When I checked it before checking out in the morning, nothing was blocking it and was just not a funtioning one. The rooms were large but it's clear the shower and tubs were not well cleaned over the years. I would not stay here again.

The hotel allows smoking. Strong smell of pot and cigarettes. Slamming doors and loud voices. It appeared that the staff didn’t care about the general chaos. I would not stay there again. Seriously, I think a motel 6 is a step up.

Bien situado si tienes vehiculo

Tuve problemas en la limpieza de la habitación, dos días que no la habían realizado.

Bra läge, rymliga rum två matställen precis bredvid som har öppet länge och för frukost samt promenadavstånd till ett jättemysigt bryggeri och resturangställe.
