Best Bed & Breakfast Lowell Near Me

Sherri Barboza: Attended am event for UMass Lowell, Fortaleza, Lowell Public Schools. The dinner was good, desserts very good and coffee excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Couldn’t find elevator, other than that top notch! Views of the canal were beautiful 😍

Josiah Dykstra: Solid C for effort... they're really trying. Owned and operated by the University means they lack name-brand polish. The ICC is also a dorm (note: guests are not allowed to use the campus shuttle). Breakfast is skimpy with bagels, yogurt, and coffee. The bar served only pizza and hamburgers with a bartender who kept apologizing for it. Had to call the front desk after midnight for excessive noise in the hallway.

Audra Garland: Not sure of any of that i was there for a work class

Ali Bell: Quit, clean and reasonable price! Love it.

Lizzy Dabczynski-Bean: No one was at the front desk to check us in despite having a reservation. Sign said no one would be in the front desk til 7am….what? Spent hours at 1am calling other hotels all of which were booked for a long weekend. Ended up paying $500 for ine night, a room 30 minutes away. I got a refund from uMass Lowell Inn but no one acknowledged the issue or made any kind of apology or took ownership of the situation. And we were our $500 and all the wasted time and energy. 👍

Adriana DiIorio: Victoria was awesome! We had an issue with Priceline themselves and she resolved it for us quickly, and was so incredibly kind our entire visit. The hotel is beautiful and we were on the first floor and had a little patio overlooking the river! It was so great to be able to open a sliding door to the outside from our room. They have complimentary breakfast with bagels, danish, yogurt, fruit, and Starbucks coffee and tea with options to eat in a big dining room with windows overlooking the river or a space with a fireplace and comfortable chairs. The rooms were very clean. Will definitely stay here again.

Donna M.: Pros:Right in the heart of Lowell.Very convenient location.Free parkingCons:A bit run down.Not very bright or livelyRooms are ok; nothing special.Breakfast is only cold pastries and coffee. Very disappointing.The water in our room was yellow-sink, toilet, and shower. Told the front desk, and they gave us bottles of water. Called to speak to a manager and was told it was a boiler issue. I'm not sure what's up with that, but they have us $$and were apologetic.

Kristina Babcock: I was charged twice for two different prices, it was supposed to be split between a friend and I, but she was also charged twice the rate we split and i was charged the split and full. Our door lock was broken which we told maintenance and it still wasn't working- ac unit was not working and maintenance came in at 1230 to try to fix and just said he would move us but it was midnight, no trash bags, no complementaries, just was told watch 3-5 days to see if it goes back.

Daniel Wells: No AC my room is currently 77 degrees, the fan won’t even turn on. Bad tv reception, and the internet is slow. Don’t waste your money.

Bonnie McCormick: If you really are concerned about cleanliness and safety, please do not stay here. I stayed here for three nights in October 2022 and was shocked to see that a best western plus was housing the homeless. They are not just hanging around…they live there now. The room I had looked like it may have been previously used as living quarters for the homeless. I appreciate that people can have issues in life, but putting them up in a hotel where you are also accommodating travellers is not the answer.

Clara Gulbranson: The lady in the morning was nice and friendly and let me check in early. Love that. Excellent location, staff was very accommodating and friendly! Highly recommend!!

Cathy Carnevale: Someone was in our room. Found items missing money jewelry. Homeless people hanging around begging for cigarettes and money. I wouldn't never stay there again very unsafeRooms: 2/5|Service: 2/5|Location: 1/5 …More

Sofia Fortune: Not at all like the pictures. Very outdated rooms, beds were doubles, not queens and the hotel looked like it was an off-site homeless shelter. Not in a very good part of town but close to where I had to go. Was tolerable for one night but prob wouldn’t stay there again.

Maria Tapia: I made a reservation for 2 nights and had to leave after 1 night (and still pay) and go to another hotel. I was not aware that this hotel houses the homeless and those on public services. Very noisy after hours, cigarette butts all over the ground outside the entrance to the "hotel"...dirty elevators and lobby, and I didn't even attempt to have the free breakfast that was included in the room I PAID for because unfortunately not everyone waiting for breakfast in the lobby looked or smelled clean. I stayed here 4 yrs ago and had no issues which is why I booked my stay again....but they will loose my business and anyone else that stays there due to the conditions and changes. They should be transparent on their website.

Michael Würdemann: Sehr freundliche Gastgeber - Frühstück gibt es Corona-bedingt quasi auf Bestellung an der provisorischen Theke, ist aber reichhaltig (inkl. Rührei/Sausage-Sandwich, Cerialien, Bagels etc.). TV in glasklarer HD Qualität und das Internet ist stabil und schnell. Was will man mehr?

Vanna Bun: I booked this hotel through Priceline. I booked 2 full beds because that’s all the had available and I went back online the next day I saw that they had 2 queen available. I called the hotel and I spoke to someone who was in the front and they said yes they can change it for me but when I got there. The person I was talking to did not change my reservations. They was completely booked. I was very disappointed. The pool was also closed for renovations. The reason why we even booked this hotel was because of the pool. The room we had was very outdated and it smelled of mildew. It was like a humid room. The ac wasn’t working. I didn’t ask to change room because obviously they was booked. I called and ask for toiletries and towels and they did not bring it up. I was not happy with this hotel and I do not recommend it at all.

Mike Galello: No. Just no. Go literally anywhere else because this hotel should be demolished.

Nathan Phillips: My wife and I enjoyed a stay at Prospect Place, in the Emma room, towards the end of a recent trip to New England. Of all the Bed & Breakfast accommodations we experienced on this trip, this was the most intimate. It could easily be a destination in its own right. But if you are visiting to see Boston and Cambridge access to public transportation is conveniently within walking distance and easily navigated.Eric went above and beyond by greeting us at the door, carrying our bags and reserving parking for us with his own personal vehicle. The breakfasts included yogurt, baked goods, granola, and a hot item (as well as coffee/tea/juice/etc). European style seating at a single main dinning table fostered conversation with other guests as well as the host. We had engaging but not overwhelming conversations with a corporate coach, an astrophysicist, and of course a musician/innkeeper! Eric and Judy’s recommendations for Cambridge/Boston sites and activities were spot on. This is a unique experience more akin to staying with a friend than staying in a corporate hotel.We found the booking experience easy, and communication about the bathroom we would be sharing with one other room to be clear and forthcoming. Everything related to that situation was well managed and effectively mitigated what might be an uncomfortable scenario. We had no problems with this at all.The only disappointment we experienced was that we did not convince Eric to play his beautiful Steinway grand piano for us. Perhaps on our next visit. :)All things considered, a stay at Prospect Place is an incredible value for guests looking for a bit more than just a place to sleep.

Tammy Jersey: The inn keepers, Eric and Judy, are so friendly and caring. They helped me park, greeted me by name when I arrived, and made sure I had everything I needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable and room was quiet and peaceful. Breakfast included freshly made scrambled eggs, yogurt, fruit and coffee cake. Definitely worth the money. Great location!

Keith White: A must stay in Cambridge/Boston!We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.It was our first time to Boston and Eric and Judy’s place was a great base from which to explore Boston and it’s surrounds. A very short stroll to public transport and a bunch of great restaurants (Koreana, Oleana just 2)….that’s if you feel like eating after the delightful breakfast each morning (fresh fruit, granola, fresh bakes/pastries). 😋A charming and comfortable space with most gracious hosts. 🙏❤️PS Thanks for all the local advice and assistance.

Ruth Plum: Prospect Place has cozy & unique spots for working remotely. Wallpaper, carpeted staircase, chiming clock give it charm.Very enjoyable for walkers like my daughter and me. Cambridge, Back Bay, even the waterfront & wharf area were a few skips, jumps and bridges away.Grand breakfasts as robust, think French toast, or as dainty, tea & scones, as you like including plenty of fresh fruit and aromatic, homemade granola.Plus an abundance of eateries nearby.Feels spacious, secure and friendly.Traveler from Virginia

R: Eric was an incredible host. The place is clean and perfectly located. The scones at breakfast (sometimes offered) are amazing! My main recommendation for Eric is to be cautious of his talkativeness, be less chatty. Not every guest wants to have a conversation with the B&B host extensively, or at length at every breakfast. We enjoyed talking to you, but please be conscious of this with guests to create space for them to enjoy morning solitude or just talk to the person they’re staying with. Keep the conversations short :) Nonetheless a gem in Cambridge!

Gary Krenz: immediately offered to help us take our luggage downstairs to the beautiful two-room Charles Suite. The Charles Suite is located on the lower level of the B&B. Words do not do justice to the Charles Suite, so I have included photos of the guest room with my review. The Charles Suite has a private sitting room with a digital television, loads of books, etc. Double doors lead to the bedroom, which has a king size bed, closet, and several antique furniture pieces. The bathroom has shower with two individual, adjustable showerheads, a bidet, hair dryer, and nice liquid soaps.As noted by other Google reviewers, although the B&B is located in a very safe area, the front door is always locked. Eric provides guests with a very, very, very easily remembered passcode that unlocks the front door. You never have to remember to take your key, much less worry about losing a key! As you enter the B&B, directly in front of you there is a beautiful Victorian staircase leading to other guest rooms, ornate wooden moldings around doors and windows, gorgeous wooden floors, antique rugs, art pieces, and to your right, a spacious first floor sitting room with large windows overlooking Prospect Street that guests are encouraged to use (photo included

Allysa: We fully enjoyed staying at Prospect Place Bed & Breakfast. The experience was astounding from arrival to departure.We drove to Prospect Place from CT, the owner Eric instead of having us park on the street with a permit (which is also conveniently located next to the B&B) moved his car for us to park in the driveway since we were walking or taking the T all weekend. He then offered to help us unpack our car! It was so sweet.The front door to the B&B is locked, when you rent a room here you a given a personal password to unlock the door to the hotel. This allows you to have full access but it also made me feel very safe. The location of the B&B is already in a very safe location but this feature made us feel even more comfortable, like we were staying at our own home.When you walk in you a greeted by a beautiful Victorian staircase surrounded by vintage pieces of art and décor. We had rented the Charles Suite. This suite is suitable for 3 people with a private bathroom. Originally we had booked the room for 3 but one of the people had to cancel. We had let Eric know and it was not a problem, he took care of everything. From the photos we didn't know know large the room was going to be. The room is located on the bottom floor of the B&B, it opens up into a spacious living area decorated with Victorian style furniture. Double doors open to the bed room to uncover closet space, a full vintage vanity set, and a king size bed. The room was so spacious we felt like royalty.The bathroom was on another level of comfort. It contained two shower heads that could be individually adjusted, a bide, and all other necessary bathroom tools incase you forgot anything (yes I mean the hair dryer).It was easy to sleep here since it felt like we were at home and the bed in addition to the sheets were very comfortable.Breakfast in the morning is hand-made by Eric and his wife. They provided fresh fruit, baked goods, cereal, tea, coffee, juice, pretty much you name it they most likely have it. Everyone sits at the shared dinning table and you eat breakfast with the other guests. I enjoyed this very much since you get to meet some really cool people or learn something new. On our last day, they made this amazing spinach and mushroom casserole. It was to die for. When eating it, it felt like a warm hug and a kiss on the cheek. Savory, warm, with a little crunch.We would love to stay again at this wonderful bed and breakfast. I would recommend if you are going to Boston either to visit the prestigious schools, or visiting the convention center in South Boston, the location is convenient for every part of the city.

Jean Ann Moale: B&B is listed as an “elegant Victorian Bed &Breakfast” on their website. Turns out…not so much.To begin, this B&B is not suitable for physically impaired. There are stairs to the entrance (no ramp or handrails) and stairs lead to any guest room; no first floor accommodations.There is little to no security. Rooms either do not have locks or have poorly made/installed locks.Covid-19 protocol (cleanliness) is not followed here. Pillows do not have protective coverings, only pillowcase. Pillows are old and stained. (see photo) The bathroom on the second floor is shared by all rooms on that floor. Rooms are not well cleaned and have dust and debris along the floor/wall edges. Rooms also have cobwebs that appear to have been there quite some time. (see photo)Charles Suite, advertised as “lower garden level” is located in the BASEMENT. A narrow staircase in the kitchen leads to it. The suite is on the same level as their laundry. The suite does not have an entry door, only a pair of curtains. Bedroom area has glass French doors with semi-sheer curtains and poorly installed lock (easily opened). If you value privacy, this is not the place for you. There is also a strong musty smell upon entering the suite. The only window is located in the bedroom area, about 7 feet above the floor (which does not open). There is no garden view from here, much less garden; it looks out to driveway. Bathroom counter is very tiny and could use an extension or additional table next to “blocked” door. Note that there is only central HVAC. You do not have control of heat or air; we were chilly entire time.Before arrival, we reconfirmed there was parking available on site. Once we arrived, we were given a parking pass and told to park on the street (about a block away). Upon viewing the outdoors in daytime, we did see there was ample space to park in the back beyond a gated driveway.Breakfasts were disappointing. The first day, we did have a nice French toast bake. After that, meals were upon request; nothing “fancy”. Service was a bit off too, with eggs being brought to the table in a hot frying pan (a bit too close) and put on the plate.We were looking for “elegant” ambiance here for our vacation and disappointed we did not receive it. To recap their website: photos are all very well staged, not necessarily what you’ll receive. Some rooms no longer have furniture as shown. There is no full breakfast (daily), or custom logo robes.On plus side, location is convenient to trains into Boston (several blocks away). It was a quick ride direct to edge of Boston Commons. Whole Foods is located across the street from B&B for your immediate food needs.Would we stay there again? Not unless their Covid-19 cleaning standards were very much improved, complimentary FULL breakfasts (or much improved) were served, and parking was on property. This B&B does have potential to be a fantastic place, but it would take more work to get it there.

Dave Rogala: My wife and I stayed here for a week-long vacation in Boston. The experience was excellent from start to finish.About a week prior to our arrival Eric contacted me via e-mail to ensure that the room we had selected was what we were expecting and to finalize some of our arrival details.During our stay Eric and Judy were wonderful hosts. An excellent breakfast was provided every morning. Eric pointed out some great dining options and made some excellent suggestions for sights to see that we hadn't thought of. He even let me charge up my car (plug-in hybrid) prior to the days we were using it.The inn itself is a beautifully restored home. The care Eric and Judy have taken restoring and furnishing it results in an absolutely wonderful atmosphere. The pictures on their website don't really do the place justice.The location was also excellent. We were one block away from a MBTA subway station on a line that took us directly into Boston. We were easy walking distance to Harvard square (maybe bear in mind that my wife and I consider a couple of miles "easy walking distance") and there was no shortage of restaurants in the immediate vicinity. There is even a Whole Foods directly across the street. Even though the inn is in the middle of Cambridge we found it to be very quiet at night and we were in one of the rooms that faces the road.I can't really overstate how fantastic our stay there was and will certainly be attempting to stay there again if we come back to Boston.

Aksel-Rebecca Peterbould: Eric provides clean and comfortable rooms with delicious breakfasts served on fine china. His gracious home is conveniently located between Harvard and MIT, just across the street from a Whole Foods. This is our first stay, and it won't be our last.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5 …More

Wanny Wu: Beautiful and cozy room. Excellent breakfast that is freshly made by the host. The host Eric is super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place!

Michael Fortune: Like being at home, but more comfortable.

Becky Alhadeff Miller: Lovely inn in the heart of Cambridge. Our host Eric could not have been more welcoming and did his best to make our stay comfortable while being very discreet. The very generous breakfast was delicious, the best we ever had in a B&B.

Lisa Rosetta: This is a wonderful B & B. We would love to come back again.

heidi hample: My brother, niece and I had a great stay. We were here two years ago and wanted to book here again. "It feels like a second home," my brother said. Eric and Judy welcomed us. The breakfasts were delicious - omelettes and a heavenly oven french toast plus fruit in season.

Dina: What a treat! I booked last-minute as I had last-minute tickets for a concert at Fenway. It was delightful to be welcomed into such a gorgeous home by such a kind host. My room was comfortable and spacious with every amenity needed and as a solo traveler, I felt safe. Breakfast was delicious and for late night snacking, there is a Whole Foods right across the street. Highly recommend.

Daniel Liebenrood: A lovely home. Eric and Judy are gracious hosts who provide a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere. A comfortable refuge for travelers. I loved my stay in their home.
