Frommer's Review
This four-story establishment offers a sophisticated blend of chain-motel convenience and boutique-hotel features. Set back from the busy street in a commercial neighborhood, it offers accommodations at least one floor up from the parking lot. Guest rooms are spacious and well maintained, decorated in deep jewel tones with comfy yet sleek contemporary furnishings. Room rates include wireless Internet access and local phone calls; add the pool and continental breakfast, and the view of a traffic circle is easier to take. A 2 1/2-mile jogging trail circles Fresh Pond, across the street, and a shopping center with a Whole Foods Market is nearby. Boston lies about a 15-minute drive or a 30-minute T ride away; Lexington and Concord are less than a half-hour away by car.
Facilities:
Indoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; tour desk; shuttle service; same-day dry cleaning

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
