8/10 Very good

The inn was a bit run down, but we felt safe and were pleased with the affordability. The beds were comfortable and the area was quiet.
(The beds were made when we arrived.) The carpet was pretty gross. Grafitu on the wall art. Other than these things, the room was safe, comfortable, and quiet.

Only stayed one night for a concert, but the place has its charm. Local businesses around are thriving and plenty to do nearby. Shared bathroom might seem off putting to some but it was a great experience. If near the Boston area again, would definitely stay!

Friendly staff. Quiet enough for a good night sleep. Convenient location for our needs. Older building that could use some love but the bed was nice and sheets and bathroom were clean. Decent affordable option.

We had a great time, and this is in a good location. We took a short walk to Harvard and enjoyed that area. The room is very minimal, but nice people and clean bathrooms.

Dirty hotel, dirty room, shared bathroom was ugly and dirty.

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.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value. Mattress was excellent. It’s a rooming house, not a motel.
Scott, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place has not been cleaned since the medieval times. Dirty. Loud outside. Shared bathroom moldy and gross. Overall disgusting
Esabelle, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Monte, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Somewhat clean no frills room
Gregory, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

If you’re looking for a fancy hotel with all the bells and whistles, this isn’t it. But if that doesn’t bother you, it is convenient to pubic transportation, close to restaurants, and free parking. The staff was very attentive too.
Norman, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Kathleen, 1-night trip

Loved the atmosphere & how generally comfortable I felt, easy going visit
