Hotels near Dorchester Academy National Historic Place

"Pros: Check in staff was friendly. We checked in on a Wednesday around 9pm and checked out the next Thursday around 8:30 am. Hotel is new and is nice. Breakfast was decent- could have had more hot choices- but for a free hotel breakfast- it suffices. Cons: Lets talk about the train. After booking a non-refundable rate- I read up on some recent reviews and was made aware of the train that is VERY close to the back of the property. We were told by the check in staff that the train "doesn't make any noise- only vibrations". This is not true. The train is very loud and made multiple trips up and down the track during our 12 hour stay. If you need a good sleep- do not stay here. I will guess we heard the train at least 4 times overnight. This was my fault as I should have read the reviews before booking. Now let's discuss breakfast and the TV's all tuned to Fox News. Let's be real people- not all of us tune into this crap. It would have been nice to not have to listen to this junk while eating my bagel and drinking my coffee. Did I say anything? No- because I am not that person- but please- turn to the Weather Channel or HGTV. The room was clean- other than the sofa and ottoman. Lots of white residue? "

"Stayed at the end of March, 2026. The motel is about as you expect for the rating. It feels a bit dirty and aged but reasonable for a quick stay. There's no elevator, so you have to walk up a set of stairs to get to the 2nd floor. Its all outside, but mostly covered. Worth noting, because I didn't notice this in the pictures; The bathroom consists of a very small room with only a toilet and shower, its a tight room. The vanity, mirror and bathroom sink is in the actual room, beside the bathroom. The bathroom and vanity feels aged, but not really dirty. We stayed in a standard double bed room. The lamp in the corner and the carpet around it were gross, there was visible dust. We were only there from 9pm to 10am, so it was forgivable, but I would have been more upset had we stayed longer, and would have requested house keeping to clean it better. However it was late, and we didn't want to go through that process. We thoroughly checked for bed bugs the second we got there and did not see any. On a positive note, the breakfast was decent. Most places like this don't have a waffle maker. In all honesty, that is why we picked this motel over any other one. literally for the waffle maker. They were pretty good actually and there was hot bacon which was definitely a plus. The rest of the breakfast was very standard and limited to cereal, yogurt, fruit, toast, scrambled eggs and juice. As a 'motel' rating, I'd say 6.5/10 as a 'hotel' rating, I'd say 3.5/10"

"Clean, comfortable rooms and a very smooth check-in experience, friendly staff, convenient location, and the complimentary breakfast make it a great, budgetfriendly stay for travelers."

"The room was clean and well stocked. There was a wide variety of food items at breakfast. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again."

"This day wasn’t the worst, but I won’t be staying at another one of these hotels. There were burn marks all over the carpet, the shower door was rusted in places, and it could’ve been cleaned much more thoroughly. And I also saw two cockroaches in my room. One crawled from under the fridge area and another one was crawling on the nightstand table by the front door. That was very disappointing. After I saw that I got very uncomfortable, packed up all my things tightly, left all the lights on before I fell asleep. I was ready to check out when it was time. The lobby area was clean, the parking lot was clean and safe. The bed was clean. But that’s about it. Room 313 👎"

"The room was on the 3rd floor but it the traffic noise was very disturbing."

"It’s a very nice hotel with good value."

"No carpet wow. Really nice room quiet (no street sounds) and comfortable bed and pillows. It’s rare. The breakfast buffet was perfect with something warm (eggs, meat, potatoes) and something cold (cereal, yogourt, apples). Waffles and different kind of bread. Coffee machine with many choices. Property is really clean. Applebee’s restaurant and Ruby Tuesday near (walkable 3 min)"

"The room was very clean but the bathroom tile was sticky when you walk on it."
