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.

4/10 Fair

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!
Krista, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Good choice for proximity to fast food (McDonald’s/ihop), very friendly professional front desk staff, very good ac in rooms, quiet location. Sink was cracked and older tv, average rooms overall. Considering the demand for lodging in the area, even slightly lower room prices and some beautifying might be worth it overall. Noticeable effort by front desk staff though.
Heather, 2-night trip

Horrible and very bad condition bathroom was dirty and bed make a noise

Karl, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It appears to be in the process of renovation. I did find a live water bug in the tub which I disposed of. Floor needed to be cleaned but the beds were very good. Bedding and towels were clean. Staff did not speak English but were friendly.
