the place is located in a good area, but I don’t know how the place is open still. the bathtub in the bathroom is clogged, so when taking a shower your feet are deep in water in a bathroom that everyone else uses. everything is so old and does not look clean at all maybe because of that?

The prices, off street parking however the entrance , inside carpet and floor is so dirty I have to wonder if inspectors don’t visit this property for person spending their money supporting this business place I believe we need to get satisfaction. It’s a nice location but need some major repairs on the inside . The management need to show some gratitude to persons booking and make some well needed repairs to this property .

They finally “cleaned” the kitchen floor, after one previous attempt. I was told by the day guy that, “we’re not known for our cleanliness.”

Walking in it smelled strange. The stairs were very dirty and creaky. The building has no smoking signs everywhere yet our end table had tons of cigarette burns on it and had ciggarette butts and blunt guts in the drawer. The lamp shade had weird brown stains on it as well. No bathroom in room, the toilet and shower are shared on the first floor. There was a hole in the wall from what I assume was someone kicking the wall. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. Definitely not worth the $135 I paid.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I consider myself fairly low standards, and more or less want a bed to sleep in at night. That's about all I got. Shared a small corner "room", with a disgusting shared bathroom that included no soap or anything. Got a small hand towel to dry off. Other tenants were extremely loud late at night and early in the morning. Room I stayed in wasn't even in the advertised Inn. Room was absolutely freezing at night, no insulation and window didn't seal. Bed was uncomfortable. Weird stains everywhere. I know it's cheap, especially for Boston, but seriously, think twice before staying here. Honestly amazed this place is legal to rent out

The front desk is friendly and helpful. I like the location and parking. The place needs renovation. Our room door cannot close well, when we used the lock, we couldn’t open the door. We ended up calling the management for help.

Never stay here
I have traveled my whole life stayed in so many different kinds of accommodations and I can absolutely say this was one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. The bathroom was tiny and disgustingly dirty. There was a shared room with other persons that were loud and noisy.The linens looked used and frayed.
