Market Square Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a find! Perfect accommodations for our party of 5. Just a quick overnight before between a Maine vacation and flight out of Logan. Obviously brand new renovation, everything you could need is here! Step out into Market Square and everything you need is right there. Be aware you are on a busy street so be prepared for some city sounds, but it didn't stop us from having a great night's sleep in comfy beds. Plenty of linens, blankets, and towels - plus fully outfitted kitchen and bath. Exceptional!! Street parking was easy right outside the front door, and there was a parking garage around the corner for longer stays."

"Very nice staff. We had a wedding to attend at 3pm, so they let us check in an hour early allowing us to get ready. Breakfast was great and parking though not free was very convenient and secure."

Treadwell Mansion

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying here! Loved that it had a full kitchen, and the location was perfect! We could park the car and then not have to worry about having to drive around. We stayed in town to enjoy the Prescott Park's outdoor theater (within' walking distance) and was easily able walk around to find places to eat or shop around. We also loved the rooftop table and seating area. When we are in the area we will be back!"
