Expedia listed this hotel as having a restaurant and bar, which it does not have either. We would have chosen a different hotel. The bed was very uncomfortable and the couch/bed was uncomfortable hard around the edges and sinking in the middle. The staff was kind and the complex was clean. We were also charged for parking which we did not have a car. We have not received a correct bill yet.

Overall a great stay: reasonable price, clean, safe. it was very convenient to be able to run across the street to the grocery store and pick up food that you could cook right in your room. Parking can be a bit of a bear and the bed could be a little softer 💤. Would definitely stay again.

Dog Friendly and lots to do nearby

Stayed with a dog for a week while visiting family. Nice to have Target, restaurants, and movie theatre within short walking distance. Places to walk dog close by not great and a lot of snow and ice while we were there, although for a longer walk, you can access miles of paved trails behind the Watertown Mall/Target. Staff very friendly, our dog loved getting treats at the front desk! Nice Lobby for hanging out or board games. Armenian Museum in Watertown 2 miles away) is an unexpected gem and very informative.
