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

4/10 Fair

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...
Anna, 3-night trip

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.
Jenny, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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

8/10 Very 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.

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.”

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.

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

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.

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

Ibrahim Khalil, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Never stay here
I have traveled my whole life stayed in so many different kinds of accommodations and I can absolutely say this was one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. The bathroom was tiny and disgustingly dirty. There was a shared room with other persons that were loud and noisy.The linens looked used and frayed.
