The person on staff was very friendly and helpful and kind and really went above and beyond. It was nice to have off street parking and we didn’t mind paying a little extra for it. However, in the room, the toilet was dirty, the sink had little bits of hair all around the bowl, the shower grout was black and in bad shape. There also wasn’t any soap to wash hands in either the bathroom or the tiny kitchen. We were told it was coming, but it never did. There were also cigarette burns on the blankets. I understand this is an expensive area for hotels, but at $200 per night, I would never have expected what we got.

Pros: Lots of parking in the back, 8 minute walk from the T station, cheapest hotel we could find in the city of Boston, clean sheets/toilets/shower.

Cons: Everything else. Mattress was curved, room was boiling with no air conditioning except a fan provided, floors and walls were cracked, only thing provided was half a roll of toilet paper and a bar of soap. No coffee, shampoo etc.

Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was disappointing overall. While the staff at the reception desk were polite, friendly, and helpful during check-in, the condition of the property itself needs significant improvement.

The room did not feel clean or well maintained. The bedsheets looked old and had visible stains, which immediately created a poor impression. The blinds were also broken, making the room feel neglected and uncomfortable. In general, the hotel had a sketchy atmosphere that did not feel very welcoming or relaxing.

The biggest issue for me was the washroom situation. Having only one shared washroom per floor was already inconvenient, but the condition of it made the experience even worse. It clearly needs renovation and much better maintenance. I personally chose not to use the washroom during my stay because it did not appear clean or comfortable enough. Cleanliness is one of the most important things in any hotel, and unfortunately this property did not meet even basic expectations in that area.

It is disappointing because the reception staff were genuinely nice and professional, and they tried to provide good service. However, friendly staff alone cannot make up for the poor condition of the facilities and rooms.

Overall, this hotel could improve greatly with renovations, better cleaning standards, and more attention to maintenance. At the moment, I would not choose to stay here again unless major improvements are made.

Staff shifted me to a room in a different building and mislead me that the building and room were much better. The building was absolutely filthy and should never be allowed to post as a legitimate business on your site, or anywhere. Room was unheated, with a broken window, unlockable and on Main Floor ! Truly little more than a Flop House for the homeless. HUGE disappointment !

This Inn is very run down though my room was clean at least. However, there is no soap or paper towels in any of the bathrooms. My blinds were broken and only half covered the window so people could see into my room from the outside when I dressed. The same with the bathroom on my floor. It was missing man slats and was right by the shower facing the street so again people could see into it when you were by the shower.
I don't expect much from a budget place yet this was simply not acceptable.

This is not a property you should list. It is a run down house run by nice people who apparently dont care enough about the condition of the property. The hallway bathroom was horrible. I was unable to use the facilities as the toilet was backed up and stuffed with toilet paper. With some serious investment and a more dedicated staff and owner, it could become a charming Bed and breakfast. As it is, it should not be listed on your site.

There is zero consideration for the guest experience and while I think that’s completely fine for a segment of the population, to be charging a premium on top of that (over $170 a NIGHT for a room without a bathroom, stained and worn carpet, mismatched furniture, large gaps in the door that makes you wonder whether your items will still be there when you get back is certainly a bold choice.

I booked two nights but didn’t stay the second night and chose a friend’s couch instead of another night wondering what else I’d be awoken up to at 3 am.

If you like the movie SEVEN and the scene where there’s a shootout in the hallway, you’re pretty close to the vibe of this “hotel.”

If you’re looking for a no-frills place to lay your head for a night, this place will do. If you’re allergic to dust, maybe not. This place is old and could desperately use some love, but the staff are friendly, the bed was OK, the shower had good pressure, but the carpets were pretty gross. Also, if you need absolute darkness, I would bring something to cover your eyes.

The worst place I’ve ever stayed

This inn is the worse place I’ve ever stayed. The mattresses were bowed in so badly that I kept rolling into the middle of the bed. Al’s there were no fitted sheets, just one sheet tucked in. There was nowhere to put my towel, I just had to set it on the water heater. The bathroom didn’t have any hand soap, just a travel size shampoo bottle. The shower was so grimey and the shower floor was tinged with black/gray spots.


The only positive thing is that we didn’t get bedbugs or a serious infection. We couldn’t find another place to stay because of how busy it was, but I will certainly pay more and stay somewhere nicer

WOW, and not the good wow

The first thing that hits you the moment you enter the premises is the SMELL!! It’s between mildew, body odor and another unidentified unpleasant smell that made it really hard to tolerate. Everything is very outdated, paint peeling off the wall, the doors the bathroom etc….including an outdated inspection. The rooms look like they’re rent by the hour if you catch my drift. I found eyelashes stuck to the worn furniture, stains galore on the carpet, cigarette burns on the brown cover folded on the end of the bed, mold inside the ac unit, and stains on the white bed sheets and pillow cases. If the price wasn’t as cheap and I only needed it for a few hours of sleep before my flight, I would have definitely stayed at the airport on a bench. That would have been cleaner and safer. I had to pay an additional 10$ for parking as well. I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re on a really tight budget and don’t care if you have to share a bathroom or contract a skin rash or respiratory infection. The gentlemen who checked me in was nice. I was provided the tiniest thinest towel for the shower…um no thanks lol. By far the worst place I’ve ever stayed, and I travel ALOT. I would say invest in at LEAST some new carpet (or just remove it all) and beds/sheets/ mattresses

Staff was incredible, however, had to leave in the middle of the night due to not feeling safe/comfortable. There wasn’t even any hand soap in any of the bathrooms, cigarette burns on the sheets, & there were people smoking in the (connected?) room next to us. Would be a cute property if it was actually well kept. Guys at check in & while leaving were very nice & very understanding. Our “suite” was up three, VERY, steep flights of stairs. Could be a gem with a lots more TLC.

The air conditioner worked, Free parking. The staff was available courtesies and helpful. The neighborhood was nice with good restaurants in walking distance. The price for the night was a bargain. So if you want an updated and spotless facility go elsewhere and pay hundreds of dollars a night. If you are looking for a clean room and bed for the night this is the place.

Totally unsafe and noisy place, it’s run down property, Expedia should not list it on its site.

Move on

Location is good but the hygiene is simply awful. The place is falling apart and there are no amenities. Staff are very pleasant and nice and they try. Location is very close to Harvard, loads of restaurants but the houses on the street need a whole hell of a lot of love.
Shared bathroom, no soap or shower gel or any amenities so buyer beware.
Final pro tip: Check the bed sheets for stains, we found dried in coffee or something dark anyway!

The whole building is filthy and out of maintenance. The hygienic condition is far below the minimum standard. Toilet not working, no soap, no shampoo, no TV, the mattresses are screamy without springs. The bedding didn’t look clean. The overall service and condition are significantly worse than what is advertised on the website. Do not come, it is a fraud.

Budget Friedly Stay

The place was definitely a budget friendly and cheap stay while being close to the center of New York. The reception staff was very friendly and accommodating. However, the place was very old and a bit run down. The common areas weren’t very clean and the bedroom had broken and old furniture. If you are looking for something cheap to sleep in is a good choice, but if you are looking for a quality stay, this is not the right for you.

Staff was great. It's better than sleeping outside and marginally better than sleeping in your car. Bring your own wash cloth! With all that, I'd stay there again.

Bed, pillows & linens were comfortable! No towels in the room. Never asked about options, so be prepared or ask ahead. Staff was helpful and parking was excellent! The price was right, and the area great for dining, walking, though don’t expect the Ritz. If the property were more posh, the price would be too! There are very delicious options, Asia, Ethnic, Breakfast restaurants. Enjoy!

Everything is so old, dirty and smelly!!! The picture of the room I picked on the Expedia website is not how it looks in reality. The mattresses are extremely uncomfortable and make a lot of noise. The TV is not working and is there for just decoration.

It was convenient to restaurant selections. My room included a bathroom so that was a surprise.
It didn't have a glass or a cup, yet it had a microwave and a refrigerator. There was no washcloth. I felt the sprngs in the mattress while I slept. The hallway rugs appeared worn and dirty.

You get what you pay for. Acceptable stay, very small room, dimly lit, noisy a/c and shared bathroom. Fine for a place to just sleep overnight. Only limited street parking for free.

Do Not Stay Here!!! Terrible!!!

This stay was absolutely horrible. I would not suggest that anyone stay here ever. They stuck me and my two friends in an attic room that was not listed anywhere on their website. The room was extremely small, there were wires hanging from the ceiling, and the AC barely worked. We also only had access to a co-Ed communal bathroom that was old and dirty. I'm honestly not sure how this place stays in business. We left within 20 minutes of getting there because we did not feel safe or comfortable staying. I will be emailing the Inn and hope to at least get some sort of refund.

Not as expected based on pictures and description

The pictures are a bit outdated. The condition of the property is in need of repair. The rooms were the lowest base level of clean. The shared bathroom was not a problem and always accessible, but didn't appear clean. There was mold and so much discoloring in the shower/tub and sink.
But the bed in the room we had was terrible! One was perfect and comfortable. The second bed was caved in to the middle and the springs creaked with every movement. Slept still like a corpse to keep from waking the room or rolling into my husband.
For the price (and interest in their own business), I would expect a basic upkeep to the property.
Parking lot in back was a plus because parking all around Boston area is difficult.
Staff were Great!

Carlos's Italian restaurant is close by and delicious!

Staff was nice. He upgraded us to a room with 2 beds, which helped a lot.

Location is all its got. This was a horrible place, and it's obvious from the second you show up. The people who were in front of me in line got a special day rate and were only there for 2 hours. The poor guy checking people in was overworked and it took 35 mins from me entering the office to get to my room. The mattress was in utter disarray and might as well have brought camping gear. The sheet was not even elastic and came off exposing others germs etc. The lock on the door was enough to keep a mid-size man to about 2 kicks to get the door open. I will never go there again. Good luck if you make it out the next mroning

never again

I was just extremely disappointed as there was no mention of the bathroom for the room being communal with about 6 other rooms and the picture not showing the actual building the room was in. all the pictures are from the lobby/main building and we stayed in a relatively dirty, small room with nothing but 2 beds and then a communal bathroom with a dirty laundry machine.

My partner & I booked this place as a last minute stay. The staff was very friendly but didn’t explain things very well. The parking situation was rough & on top of that, you have to pay for parking. This place is not at all like it is advertised. We checked in & were then brought out on to the street; they have several properties throughout the neighborhood. Our place was hot, dirty, & felt unsafe. Everything was dirty & seemed unsanitary. We had to share a bathroom which was incredibly outdated & dirty. There was mold all over the shower & no clean towels. My partner hit his head getting into the shower because it was so low. The lock on the door was flimsy. We checked out at 10 p.m. due to feeling incredibly unsafe & uncomfortable. I absolutely would not recommend staying here, even for the price.

i stayed at the big worn down wooden property with the fake flowers on the balconies, the buildings was in terrible condition. the tiles in the shared kitchen were cracked and some were missing, you can tell the stairs haven't been cleaned in years, the walls were sticky, the shower doors in both upstairs and downstairs were broken, kitchen was left disguising by the people
