The Inn was nice. It was clean and was perfect for our one-night stop. However, the shower was outdated, and the porcelain was chipped in places. We reserved a king- bed room months ago, but when we arrived, we were informed that we were issued a double room instead, despite the fact we called in earlier during the day to confirm our reservation! The staff who greeted us was friendly.

The family running this place seems very nice and helpful. However, the walls are paper thin and we seemed to have a bunch of regional sports teams staying the same time as us. It was insanely loud and we did not get any sleep. We will never stay at this place again. They really need more sound proofing.

Nice place.

I liked the location. It was near to all the places I wanted to visit. The room was clean, equipped with a small fridge and a microwave oven. Bed was comfortable enough.
The only thing is that there was no recycling system. Recyclable material had to end up in the trash, but that's more an issue of the state of Massachusetts, really.

The front desk manager was very nice and the snacks in the room was a nice touch, but there was a loud party next door and so much weed smoking. Not a very relaxing environment but the price was decent for the area.

The sheets showed stains that didn't completely wash out so I had to sleep in my clothes. The shower looked terrible and I wouldn't get into it. The price was too high for the quality.

It was a no frills room that was reasonably priced and in the general location that I want to be at. If there had been other options I would have taken it. The room was nice. Bathroom was small. The walls were thin. Refrigerator was cold. Coffee maker was in the room. My only complaint would have to be the dirty washcloth on top of the shower head. It was a typical motor court from the '60s. The staff appeared friendly. Did have a slight problem understanding the person at the counter when I checked in. All in all it was an okay stay.

Check in was quick. The rooms were clean and the beds were so comfortable. Me and my family definitely enjoyed our stay here and will be returning for another stay.

Problems with other guests banging and screaming late at night no power for two days due to storm room not cleaned for 3 days no clean towels

Basic cleanliness was no where to be found in my room. The linens appeared to be clean, but a very noisy motel and guests. VERY different from the pictures and incredibly disappointing. I was attending a funeral and had no other choice, but will think long and hard before taking an Expedia review seriously again.

The rooms were nicely appointed with thoughtful amenities, and was very clean and beautifully decorated. One can tell effort, time, and thoughtfulness have gone into making the property a wonderful experience for travelers!

This is an old motel purchased and run by what appears to be a recent immigrant family. They were extremely conscientious and accommodating. Not luxury, but good value. And we appreciated their solar towers.
2.0 / 10.0
The staff was very pleasant however, the check in area was very dirty and that should have given us a heads up. It was raining when we got there and the floors are all vinyl. We had to put a towel down to keep from getting the floor all wet and it was filthy. We looked out the back window, and it appeared there was a very junky area where people "hang out". Lucky forus it was raining so no one outside. The list goes on and on.
We came to the area due to a sick relative in the nearby hospital. After talking to some local folks in the hospital, they told us to get out of there immediately. They said it was very unsafe and they knew this because their brother was a police officer in the area.
This was a last minute trip and we really had no choice. We checked out the next morning and found somewhere else.

Not stoked about the place or stay despite good service. Straight up value proposition.

I liked it until the morning and I got into the shower and the floor of the shower was like a water bed rolling and sort of like being in a row boat at sea trying to,stand up. I would be badly hurt if I were not used to living on a boat. They must attend to this or they will have a very bad accident on their hands not to mention an insurance claim. The floor must have delaminated from the concrete.
2.0 / 10.0
So much potential and the workers were exceptionally nice. Older motel getting some cosmetic attention but needs some upgrades to make this a fantastic stop to stay. Lots of burn marks on furniture. Clean but needs updating. Bed mattress was extremely worn and was not level.

We booked at the very last minute, no difficulties. We could back our car right up to the door, easy to unload; very comfortable beds, cozy room, not luxury but all the important things were there.

Seems like many of the units are being used as low income housing.

It was noisy. There were people in the yard behind our room that were around a fire and partying until after midnight
3.0 / 10.0
Convenient, with friendly staff, comfortable beds, and a fair price. Everything was quite adequate. Clean, but when I lost a screw to my eyeglasses and got on all fours to look for it, I realized that the room could use a deeper cleaning. Also, although I had put out the door tag for maid service, staff did not enter to make the beds.

Very nice hotel. Improvement was very impressive.

This is an inexpensive and decent motel. There's not a lot of bells and whistles to this place but then you're not paying a lot either. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. It was a bit cold (it was the coldest night of the year when we were there). We had brought extra blankets with us and needed them. It was quiet at night. Staff was friendly. Bathroom was odd but serviceable. There was a microwave in the room which wasn't mentioned in the listing.

The room was clean and updated. But the bathroom was still in the 70s! The metal around the bottom of the bed was annoying! The price fir one night was very expensive.

Family owned and operated motel, it was comfortable and tidy. Although not necessary, we received fresh towels every day. We would stay here again.

The Minuteman Inn "is what it is" - if you are expecting more, go somewhere else. It is a old motor lodge that is geared toward travelers just passing through that just need a (inexpensive) room/bed for the night.
Maybe the best description is that the rooms are non-smoking, but each room has a chair and small tin pail just outside of each room door to provide a smoking area for guests that smoke.
Like all motor lodges, the property is older (vintage?), but the owners are clearly doing their best to try to keep it well-maintained with the modern amenities (wi-fi) that everyone expects. It is no frills with a few odd surprises that may need paint or attention or are just "quirky" features of the room (i.e. our unusual shower stall). Similarly, with the doors being exposed to the sun and weather, we learned to double-check our door to make sure it latched when we left.
But, for the money, we had decent/clean bed/linens, working bathroom with hot water and towels, reliable HVAC (and not too loud), mini-fridge, Cable TV, and wi-fi.
What was it missing? Finding power outlets for charging devices were not abundant. The open closet had one hanger - which meant using the small table/chair for holding coats. Things like that.
We decided to give The Minuteman Inn a try, as we travel to this area infrequently.to visit family. It was neither better nor worse than we anticipated, hence the three stars. As I said at the beginning... "it is what it is".
