Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The best thing I can say is that the sheets were clean, safe, and convenient to my west Boston destination. However, it seems as though the property was allergic to vacuum cleaners. Dust accumulation around the organ in the hallway took years to build up. The carpet in my room needed cleaning. No, let's go with replacement. It was my first time staying at an inn (rooming house) with a shared bathroom. The rooming house (inn) was one step above the Bates Motel... If you are not used to washing your ass, yout a will feel right at home. I was trying to save some money and time traveling back and back to my destination. After this stay, the light at the Motel 6 looks good. I left a day early and am willing to donate my last night's fees to cleaning. I am a well-traveled professional who typically stays at 4-star hotels. The Internet pictures and reviews were OK, plus I was traveling by myself. I took for granted that the place would be cleaned. This could be a very quaint place. But first, some elbow grease from experienced cleaners and restoration experts is needed to fumigate the place. The staff was courteous but oblivious to hotel cleaning process.

The staff was warm and helped me both get situated and also resolve some errors in booking I made. I really liked all my interactions with the Inn. The room and inn was quiet, so I had no trouble sleeping.

Do not save your money here (like I tried to)
I stayed not in the main building, but in another apartment building down the road that is apparently also theirs. Stairwell up to my room did not feel safe. Room was in much worse condition than pictures showed. Locks on the door were finnicky, walls were greasy, and my room had multiple bugs crawling around the wall. My doorknob even fell off the first time I grabbed it. I did not feel safe in my room. It looked like a halfway house. To be fair, the service was fairly smooth and I guess the sheets on the bed were nice.

We were upgraded to a full 2 bedroom apartment. Absolutely wonderful location and accommodations. It was clean and functional. It was awesome to have a budget friendly place to stay in Boston, with parking. Reliable public transit got us downtown, Fenway Park and Harvard University. Plenty of stores and restaurants close by. Thank you to the wonderful staff.
