Boston Universal Stanley Hotel & Hostel Boutique

The rooms are clean & staff & owners are very friendly as well as helpful with anything you need & Chelsea isn’t a infested drug area rather hardworking people homemade Latin American food next door & rooms aren’t dirty yet cheaper cash only stay for 1 person inn my opinion & stay here I highly recommend it as well as try it for yourself without reviews telling you otherwise choice is one’s own too make especially when paying for it I have no regrets nor complaints about my stay nor the motel either way they helped me out when nobody else would!!!

I was in a tough financial position, being in between jobs and taking care of my sick husband. We chose to rent a room at the old Stanley Hotel now called the Universal Motel in Chelsea MA. We knew it was not going to be the best of places but what we got was unbelievable. Rats throughout the inside and outside of the location. Bed bugs also throughout the location. One shard bathroom which was never cleaned and had mold every where. The constant smell of urine was throughout the entire building. We were paying 80.00 a night ! Constant cops activity there, you could smell the drug usage from time to time. The only time the place was remotely cleaned is when they were scheduled for a city inspection. And the owner was caught several times changing room amounts to what ever he felt like for

Flights cancelled and only other hotel around was over $500. This place takes cash only and was the nasty place. Bed sheets had numerous hairs and floor in bathroom hairs on floor and in sink. Slept in clothes and only 1 hour as so scared. Shady characters and room very small and nasty. Clean towel has hairs on it. Glad to have made it out alive!!||When I saw room, I would have paid the $500 but that hotel was already sold out when I called and would have gladly given up the $100 I paid for the room. They take cash only. The only decent thing was the TV. Very scary...

Absolutely Disgusting . I'm surprised I didn't leave with hepatitis . I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy. The location is creepy and engrossed in drug activity. Non existent customer service and forget about getting clean towels, I had to use my own in fear of developing some sort of skin rash.

I don’t recommend this place! It’s completely dirty, bath is horrible, sheets have holes and stains, no blankets, the front desk is impolite! Please if you want a comfortable night don’t come to this hotel, save a little more money to afford other place
