    Air conditioning was amazing during the heat wave. Bathroom wasn’t the cleanest, but the staff was very nice. Decent for the price and location.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The staff here was lovely but the building is in severe disrepair, definitely not a family spot, more for a single person or couple who is going to be spending most of their time sightseeing and the least amount of time at the inn

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Friendly staff Room could have been cleaner. Also a gap in door so you could see under and through the side.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Great place I recommend parking was good

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The rooms should be thoroughly cleaned. Fix the blinds in the bathroom, they're broken off in a section.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This hotel is in desperate need of a complete overhaul, as the entire property is falling into decay. The room I was assigned had a dirty, stained carpet and a foul, lingering odor. Worse, the window was locked and couldn't be opened, so the space likely hasn't been ventilated in years. The door hardware was literally falling apart, the floors, doors, and furniture squeaked incessantly, and the bathroom was stuck in the 1970s with broken fixtures and peeling finishes. Save your money and book somewhere else.

    for being literally *the* cheapest place to stay that I could find on short notice i wasn't expecting much and that is a good thing in this case.. respectfully

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Insalubre, négligé et du personnel d'une utilité désolante.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room was disgusting. There was actual rat poop on the carpet. When we tried to talk to a member of staff about it we could not find anyone. Additionally, there was no soap in any of the bathrooms. Overall, disappointing. This place should be removed from booking.com.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    I liked the location it was in the middle of everything I wanted to visit/eat. Overall the location was a prime one, but the hotel for the price you are paying it is worth it in my opinion. Would stay again if I was going solo to Boston. Bathroom, I get that we were suppose to share a single bathroom per floor, but with the amount of people staying during the time frame I was, it was kind of a hassle especially if I had an emergency.

    Pet friendly, close to the show Staff cleanliness, needs updates

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    There was nobody at the counter when I arrived. My room had a smell like someone previously smoked in the room and there was a hole in the wall. There was damage to my do and if it weren’t for the deadbolt lock it would not stay shut. The ac unit and tv barely worked. The mattress was so bad that I could not sleep and did not even stay through the night of my 1 night stay. Would not recommend.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Friendly staff. Got upgraded as I mentioned that I was traveling. Thank you guys. Perfect little spot if you don’t plan to be in the room all day. Perfect to sleep solo traveler.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    I expected a clean and comfortable room for the price paid. This fell far short of basic standards.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This property was old but still nice. Beds were comfortable and room was clean. The staff were very nice and very friendly.
