    Quintessentially Boston ‘brownstone’ accommodation. Comfortable and clean. Very friendly and helpful staff with a great knowledge of the city. Excellent location close to shops, restaurants, university, green-spaces and transportation. Perfect for settling students in to university or visiting family.

    Would have rated 10 id there was water or coffe in room rather than reception

    Staff where great, allowed us to check in early, which was a blessing given the jet lag we suffered.

    Its noisy. The rooms are not sound proof at all. The property is quite tired and in need of renovation.

    Great location. Historic building has a lot of charm. Room was very big.

    Parking was a bit of a challenge. While we didn’t need any assistance, the hours that the facility is staff is limited. (8 am-9pm) Breakfast didn’t start until 8 and we needed to depart earlier than 8, however we were able to grab a packaged snack for the road.

    Historic feel. Location was very convenient to walk to Fenway park for an event (Red Sox game).

    I'm in my 80's with slightly impaired mobility. A handrail for the second set of steps into the hotel would be helpful. First floor rooms were fine - there are stairs to upper floors which would have been more difficult.

    My room (The Bostonian) was large with good mattress, comfortable seating, and lamps right where you needed them. The woodwork and fireplace tiles are old and beautiful. Furniture is functional but not of the age of the building, but this isn't a restoration. Staff were helpful - for example there was no problem keeping our knapsacks safe after sign-out so we could do a few Boston activities unencumbered. Public transportation is a few steps from the front door. I've always admired the rows of late 19th century brownstones - it was fun to base our Boston trip in one of them. Not for someone that's looking for sleek modern accommodations, but a great experience if you want to experience old Boston. Economical too especially since you can fix a basic breakfast before setting out. I'll definitely recommend it to friends.

    A little noisy with the train but white noise did the trick. The doorstop in the Kenmore room is a toe buster 🤦🏼‍♀️

    The staff was great, responsive, accommodating, friendly and offered fun travel advise. The place was beautiful, clean, interesting, comfortable, centrally located and super charming!

    No elevator but stairs manageable. My room was on the 2nd floor.

    Good location. T Green Line C is across the street. Many places to eat within walking distance. The room is clean, bed comfortable, pillows not great, tv is big with options to watch Freevee, option to log in to your Netflix and Prime Video subscription, bathroom is clean with good water pressure.

    Not a dislike, but a lot of the Inn is original from over 100 years ago, so do not expect super clean or modern spaces. Also, a four floor walk up to our room, but the staircase itself is original and beautiful.

    Old brownstone townhouse on Beacon Street. The Inn is well managed and the staff were very accommodating to our personal needs.

    Even though our room had its own bathroom, the community bathroom was behind a door that was connected to our room. It was locked and blocked by dresser so no issues there but you can absolutely hear everything. We were woken up at around 6 in the morning because someone decided to take a phone call and have it on speaker. My mom and I woke up to it so confused. But even with that you can hear anyone in that bathroom no matter the volume. The hotel is very nice, the staff is nice, and the location is great. Just wish it had better sound proofing, but I guess it can’t be helped with it being an old structure

    Spacious clean rooms and super convenient location.

    The bathroom was a bit cramped and there was some dust/dirt in the corners. The bed was also sunken into one side, which made for poor sleep.

    It was nearby a train station and breakfast was fine with some simple croissants and muffins they probably bought from a grocery store. The room was fairly spacious.
