Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I consider myself fairly low standards, and more or less want a bed to sleep in at night. That's about all I got. Shared a small corner "room", with a disgusting shared bathroom that included no soap or anything. Got a small hand towel to dry off. Other tenants were extremely loud late at night and early in the morning. Room I stayed in wasn't even in the advertised Inn. Room was absolutely freezing at night, no insulation and window didn't seal. Bed was uncomfortable. Weird stains everywhere. I know it's cheap, especially for Boston, but seriously, think twice before staying here. Honestly amazed this place is legal to rent out

Walking in it smelled strange. The stairs were very dirty and creaky. The building has no smoking signs everywhere yet our end table had tons of cigarette burns on it and had ciggarette butts and blunt guts in the drawer. The lamp shade had weird brown stains on it as well. No bathroom in room, the toilet and shower are shared on the first floor. There was a hole in the wall from what I assume was someone kicking the wall. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. Definitely not worth the $135 I paid.

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.”

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.

dirty, loud, but great value.

The absolute dirtiest place ive ever stayed. me and my friend kept laughing about just how poor a state everything was in. cigarette holes in our bed. dust bunnies everywhere. just overall super dirty. BUT! this was the cheapest place by far, we read the reviews before hand and we knew what we were getting in to. i think as long as you know what youre getting yourself in to and just looking for an ultra cheap place with great location than go for it. we were lucky enough to get a room with its own bathroom. also this place is old with older wooden floors so you can really hear people come in and out of building.
