This place responded to my reservation emergency

This place was very good for the emergency reservation, they are keeping people from disaster. The facilities, however, are very substandard, even given the price

Ugh

Looks like the management either do not care or do not know how to run business, care about the place and respect their guests. All needs to be properly clean, refurbish and give care. It's such a missed opportunity for great inn...

Great room for the price

This place was awesome! The suite I stayed in was huge, and I couldn't believe how nice the kitchen was, and there was even a washer and a dryer. The other occupants were quiet, and respectful of privacy and shared spaces. The price was great, and it was amazing to be able to stay within walking distance of so many great music venues and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The place was not what we expected. It looked very sketchy. Front desk service was also not so good.

It's not the Ritz Carlton & it doesn't need to be

Let's be honest. If you're looking for the Ritz (or even the store brand) then this isn't the place for you. I spent just over $400 with tax for a 2BR with private bath apartment on St. Pat's weekend in Boston. There's a TON of great food and bakeries within walking distance, it's 5-10 minutes walk from the green line and there's multiple buses that go into town. It's it a great place? No. Is it a great deal for the money, hell yes.

Great but needs a real cleaning

Usually good for the price but sometimes can find much better accommodations for same price or just a little more. Place needs a deep cleaning. The whole place.

Just don't

This place was NO HOTEL! It was a tenament with worn rugs, long term tenants with wreaths on doors, loud noise occasionally, dingy lighting. Definitely never staying here again

Needs a lot of work.

The stay wasn't the greatest. The Inn needs a serious make over. There wasn't enough towels. They need new beds. Window shades falling apart. The entire room and bathroom was not clean. There was hair on the bathroom sink. Refrigerator was dirty. Tiles cracked and falling apart. The last two nights was not a good because all we heard was noises. I dont know what else to say. If you're looking for comfort, this Inn is not a good place to stay. We are very disappointed.

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.”

If you want to save money and stay in comfort, close to Boston downtown, look no further.

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.

The floor was moving when I walked into the room. And the building of the Farrington Inn where I stayed was different from the map. But overall, it was good.

Great neighborhood! Quirky place. Interesting!

I loved the neighborhood. This place was dingier than I expected, and I arrived after dark, so the parking was a little hard to see. The building didn't feel 100% safe. There was a bit of a dilapidated and sketchy feel to it. The check in took a very long time, and the people living there were very nice, but just that...living there. No big deal, but security felt a bit loose, children were running about, a weed smell (I didn't really mind), and when I entered my first floor room, the windows and storm windows were open to the outside. It was snowing, so this was unusual. The room had a space heater, which was off when I got there, and a radiator at the head of the bed, also off, but that started at some point in the night, so I was cold at first, but warmed up well by 2am or so. Shared bathroom was ok. I LOVED the quirky old furniture and decorations, but the effect was a little bit off. I can't quite explain it. The front desk guy, who was very wary at first, was actually great when the blood curdling screaming started at about 1am. So I was VERY GLAD that he was on duty...and noted that the wariness comes with the territory. He was right there at the neighboring room from which the screaming was coming. He was AWESOME, banging on the door, asking what was wrong, asking them if he needed to come in there right away. Telling then to be quiet. I am pretty old, and have never stayed at a hotel with such a fast response to noise. He was the best! And I wasn't afraid at all.

Not clean, very old, no toiletries or anything provided except a towel. Beds were rather uncomfortable to sleep on as well. Location was the only good part of the stay
