This was the cheapest accommodation I could find in the Boston area. I needed to stay for three nights, so I was really looking for some place affordable. I saw the rooms posted on their website, and I was sold. I read yelp and tripadvisor reviews after I reserved a room, and I began to worry that I made a mistake. There are a lot of negative experiences for this inn, so I was beginning to regret being swayed by the great prices. The location is great for travels. The train station is literally right in front of the hotel, so I felt safe getting back late at night. The bed was REALLY comfortable, and they provide you with more than enough pillows and towels. I stayed in the Bunker Hill room. It is smaller than the other rooms, but pretty big for one person. It was larger than I expected it to be. The bathroom was detached, so I had to go across a short hallway. Like my room, I was surprised at how big the bathroom was. It did look a bit old, and there was a hole behind one of the pictures. But I loved the atmosphere, so I didn't mind. They provide you with free cable tv and wi-fi, which I was not expecting so that was a great plus :) The walls are pretty thin. I could hear people playing music in the room next to me, so I guess if you are a light sleeper that would be a negative. My only complaint would be the breakfast. I read on several reviews that it was a very small meal. I wasn't expecting anything grand, but it still took me by surprise.They only had little cereal boxes, bagels, muffins, and pastries for breakfast along with lots of coffee, milk, orange juice, tea (only one flavor of tea), and hot chocolate. The limitation of food isn't what took me by surprise...it was how stale the bagels were. I hurt myself trying to chew through my bagel, i just threw it out ( I NEVER throw out food) and ate 2 mini-cereal boxes for breakfast every morning I was there. There are a lot of restaurants nearby, so food shouldn't really be an issue. There is also a Wholefoods less than a 5 minute walk from the inn where they serve a breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet. They charge you around $9.00 by the pound. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. It is in a great location, the rooms were beautiful and cleaned daily, the staff was friendly, and it was all for a very cheap price! I would definitely stay again. P.S. - They do tend to overheat at night, but the bright side is that you are never cold!

I stayed here with family, Reserved a parking spot and was told specifically to stay within the yellow lines or the rental would be towed. I was unable to fit the rental in the small space and had to park elsewhere. The parking fee was NOT refunded despite multiple requests. The 'breakfast" was laughable and they ran out of washcloths. I have NEVER had this bad an experience at any other bnb in brookline or boston. We are there at least twice a year.

I'd give zero stars if I could. The manager is an extortionist. Absolutely under no circumstances should you stay here for the Boston Marathon. I booked in June '08 and put down a deposit on a total of $476 for 2 rooms for 2 nights. Once all the hotels in town filled up (March '09) they called me to tell me the rate has gone up, but that i could cancel if necessary. Knowing I couldn't find another hotel on short notice, I had no choice but to agree. The new, disorganized and confusing confirmation emails they sent added up to $512 so I figured it wasn't a big deal. But when I got there, they claimed that I owed a total of $1135.50! Basically, I had to pay or get out. I'm currently denying the charges through Amex. As for the actual hotel (1750 location) - staff was friendly, helpful and sympathetic to the situation, trying to convince the manager (located in NYC) to honor the original charges to no avail. The room was noisy though. Lots of noise from the street outside, the radiator and the other rooms. Not a good place to get a solid nights sleep before a marathon.

I stayed in room #10, which had a king bed, in-room bathroom, and was on the 4th floor. I did not drive a car, so I can't comment on the parking situation. Pros: - convenient location, across the street from T line - decent price considering I didn't book the room too far in advance, paid $111 for one night - free water, tea, coffee (Keurig), breakfast snacks (granola bars, instant oatmeal) in lobby - staff was friendly and helpful - free wifi - comfortable bed Cons: - no elevator, which sucks if you have to carry luggage up to the 4th floor - some rooms have their own bathrooms across the hallway - difficult to adjust room temperature, as heating/AC is central (my room got way too hot overnight, so I had to open the windows but then couldn't sleep well from the sounds of the T line across the street) - thin walls, creaky wooden floors (really hard to sleep when I could hear the neighbors going at it at 1:30 in the morning, don't think I didn't hear your squeaky bed springs...) - no staff around late at night or early in the morning Overall, I would not stay here again since it was pretty difficult for me to get any restful sleep. If you're coming to the area for business (e.g. interviews, like I was), do yourself a favor and shell out more dough for a different place.

This is definitely a one-star hotel. While the staff is efficient, friendly and helpful, the accommodations are really worth $60 a night not $160. Parking is $25 per night extra and a shoehorn is required to get in and out of the designated ally parking spot. We were awakened in the morning by a jackhammer breaking up cement right under our first floor bedroom window. No discount of the room was offered nor was their any discussion when we booked the room that there would be major construction taking place during our stay.

Really comfortable beds. Affordable accommodations if you're trying to go to Fenway for a reasonable amount of money. The bathroom was pretty bad (run down, cheaply renovated) and paying $20 for the tightest parking space ever was annoying. Helpful staff & I'm not sure where else you could get 3 queen sized beds in one room for $200.

I would have given a 2 1/2 star if I could, but the misses just getting over bronchitis may be swaying my opinion of this place. The good- great location, right across the street from train(or bad if you're a light sleeper like me). Plenty of places within walking distance. 20 minute train ride to city center, or about $16 cab ride for the same. Nice place, friendly evening staff(morning staff....?) The bad- could use some TLC. Old nail holes in the wall, sway back mattress that was so squeaky it had to be deliberate to keep you from having any fun. Out dated tv, and poor use of space in our room, "Boston Harbor" The ugly- "breakfast" The shits not given are obvious. Pastries, fresh from the frig., cold bagels & english muffins & a semi- functional toaster. Cold cereal, one coffee, one tea, and a morning guy who shows no interest in providing any thing else. Summary... Good over night stay, eat some place else, & check your bed before you accept your room.

I stayed in room 3 (room with detached bathroom) for a few days with my husband (in winter). Considering this comment, you should keep in mind that we paid more than 140$ in average for each night we spent there. PRO: - location on the T-line, if you come without a car this is a convenient location (6 stops from Park Street) - free water and coffee, apples and cereals in the lobby anytime CONS: - quite noisy (the window is directly on the street) so that you have to sleep with the windows firmly closed. - The central heating was for all rooms on the front. Our room was quite small and bad isolated, so we were suffocating at night (remember: you can't open the window because of the noise) or it was very cold, and we couldn't regulate it in our room. - The matress was extremely soft so that we both had back pains during and after our stay. - The wifi connexion was basically so bad (slow, interrupting) that we couldn't use it (and we were on the first floor) - The person we talked to on the phone making the reservation told us that the detached bathroom was very close to the room, but actually is was on the opposite side of the floor. It was not a long distance, of course, but you have to know that before making a reservation. - If you like an healthy, complete breakfast, this is not the right place for you. It is very basic, only sweet (bagels with Nutella or marmalade, very sweet muffins, little bags of Quakers muesli or Kellogs cereals - but apples!) - The staff is nice (most of them are students, really nice young people) but not all of them are, and the manager is especially absoluetly unpleasant, doesn't says even hello to the customers, which he ignores completely, and he appeared to be very unpleasant toward his employees.
