Our family stayed at SpringHill Suites North Devens Corner two weeks ago. Although we were in town for an athletic event at Progin Park we were NOT part of the Mass Soccer Association group staying at the hotel. I have no issues with this physical property-it is fairly new and well maintained. Outside of the hotel was clean and well kept. There were luggage trolleys available and working elevators to the three floors. The first floor included a medium size heated pool area and separate workout/fitness room. All equipment was in working order and the pool area was clean when we arrived. We also used the laundry facilities while we were there. All machines were working and only $1 a load. The laundry area did have a lot of debris and trash on the floor though. We arrived a little early and after a mix up with our room, we settled in. We were notified upon arrival that the hotel was overbooked. Which was a huge disappointment to be moved from our pre-booked room. We are rewards members and book using the app for this very reason, so we will never be bumped from a room-but we were. That issue was cleared up with the help of front desk staff. I found all the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There is an outdoor seating area and an indoor lobby seating area where the breakfast is held. The free complimentary breakfast was good with a variety of cold items, two types of fresh fruit and three hot items (breakfast sandwich, sausages and pre-cooked omelet bites). This area was clean and the staff was VERY attentive and kind. Pool met our needs and was heated and clean-no hot tub. The room we had was a suite and had two full size beds and an older style pull out couch. The room was clean, bathroom was a split and was clean. Beds were comfortable and clean. There was only one TV for the space. Kitchen area had a sink, microwave and mini fridge. All were clean with a small coffee maker. After checking in and getting settled we used the pool and went to our event and dinner. When we returned we saw a very different hotel. The hotel was in fact sold out and the lobby area was FILLED with parents from the Youth Soccer Organization event. They had taken over the lobby and breakfast area and were occupying every table. There were also excessive amounts of alcohol and drinking. In coolers, open containers, in bags on the floor, set up on the tables-pretty much everywhere. It was very apparent that these 50 or so people were intoxicated. Where are all their children you ask? Running wild in the hotel. We saw kids ranging from 3-15 trashing doors and hallways, spilling drinks on the floor and carpet, grinding food into rugs and on doors. While returning to our room I observed kids opening creamers in the free coffee area and pouring them on the floor and throwing them at doors. It was disgusting. I am appalled that a hotel would allow and encourage (by allowing them to occupy and drink in this public space) such behavior. I have stayed at Marriotts aroun
Very Good
