Positive Reviews
positive:
Right in the heart of Lowell.
UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center is located right in the heart of Lowell, within walking distance of many of the city's favored attractions and, of course, the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Past guests praise this location for its convenience.
positive:
Simple and clean accommodations.
According to reports, the hotel features simple guestrooms that are kept clean and tidy. A number of past guests have described these accommodations as being somewhat dormitory-like, a description that would seem apt being that the upper floors of the hotel serve as college dorms during the school year.
positive:
Hotel restaurant receives praise.
The hotel restaurant, 50 Warren, has received much praise from those that have dined there. Reports suggest that both food and service is of a high standard. In particular, during the warmer months guests enjoy dining outdoors by the canal.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast is rather rudimentary.
Past guests staying at UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center have not been all that keen on the hotel's complimentary breakfast, which has been described as somewhat rudimentary. Reports suggest that little more than a bagel and coffee is on offer.
negative:
Cold and impersonal atmosphere.
A number of guests have pointed out that there is a somewhat cold and impersonal atmosphere about the hotel. Guests elaborate by saying that the hotel staff can be removed and not all that friendly, while rooms are said to feature plain décor.
negative:
Tucked away hotel can be difficult to locate.
Despite being centrally located, the hotel is tucked away by the Concord River in a position that has proven difficult to find for some. Reports suggest that the hotel staff can provide easy-to-follow directions for those travelers that get lost along the way.
