A mixture of the very best and very worst. Building itself dates back to 1899. The rooms are all cold and drafty. They won't upgrade to comfortable beds! The beds they have are army cots, queen sized. They're the MOST uncomfortable imaginable.They won't upgrade the bathrooms! The toilets work POORLY so a plunger is made handy, because one is FREQUENTLY needed! There are 4 bathrooms for 50-odd guests. Two of the bathrooms have showers; but don't expect warm water until they run for 10 to 12 minutes first!The hotel owners could select two large rooms and remodel them into two modern additional bathrooms, with showers and tubs. They could remodel the existing old old old bathrooms. But they're stupid, so they don't.This inn is historic: it is definitely the oldest continuously operating hotel in America.Nearby activities: The epicenter of human culture, NO LESS!Walkability: 300 businesses are within easy walking distance as needed, when weather permitsNoteworthy details: Parking is pretty damn limited.

Well I don't like being a spammer but I think this is my worst travel experience in a developed country...Points + = the location in Allston, the restaurants nearby and the transport access. Friendly and responsive staff.Points - = I think the photos on Hotel.com. are from 20 years ago... The paint was well worn like the bathroom sinks. And my god but shampooed your carpets...The worst part is that I paid almost $200 for 2 nights in these conditions.The only thing that saves this hotel is its surroundings and the friendly staff.

For the price I paid, the washer and dryer worked fine, the room was properly heated, and all common areas were clean. Thank you for the stay I really enjoyed the service!

This is an older building so things are older. I've stayed here twice and had different rooms. Some rooms have small kitchen areas, some have full kitchens. They ha e shared bathrooms but never had any problems using them. The location is great. Plenty of entertainment and food in walking distance. Most importantly you are not going to beat this price in Boston. I'll be going back soon.

Five stars! Here’s to all the haters: you want an affordable room with free parking? This place if for you. It’s old AF, there are water stains on the ceiling, and the beds are squeaky—but it’s all part of the charm. We LOVED our room and the staff were responsive and helpful. This place appeals to a special kind of traveler who doesn’t require any frills or expect their room to feel like a Holiday Inn.Safety: Felt very safe. The doors lock. Nothing sketchy about the neighborhood in my opinion.Walkability: Close to T station. East to access from exit 131.

Only reason to stay here is because need to be at a location near it and you don't have a car and can't afford much more. I was booked for a week. When I arrived I was mortified. Old, rickety, dirty. Sharing bathrooms??? I took pictures of the bathroom I was expected to share - I wouldn't use it of I was the only one using it. The door to my room - although it closed and locked, had a huge opening at the top.I stayed the 1 night, slept in my clothes and got out of there ASAP.There is a Comfort Inn and Suites about 11 miles away in Revere that if you become a member of Choice Hotels(which costs nothing) is not that much more but is a real hotel with real amenities. I do this because how skeevy and unsafe I felt.Why anyone would stay here is beyond me

Very safe, free drinks and snacks but bring cleaning supplies. Everything is broken, stained and dirty especially the bathroom, there is mold higher than I thought it could possibly grow. This isn’t worth the price, there’s no toiletries and it’s so unkept.Rooms: Not for anything longer than two days the beds are terribly stiff.Safety: No need for extra measures very calm and the building is locked.

Very affordable for the area, Friendly, convienient. Old building, so be prepared, everything will squeak and creak, no way around that. Many stairs, so not for anyone with molbility issues. Enjoyed the stay, but bring your own soap :

So I had to get a portable heater from the reception because the heating in the house doesn't work. Run-down is to kind. I had a mouse in my room, everything is smelly and moldy, the windows don't close properly, the lock on the door is a joke, the matresses are so old you can feel the bed's structure through it. Linen and everything seemed clean and fresh. Overall this is the worst accommodation I've ever been to and it's not even cheap, I paid over 100$/night. Savee yourself the trouble and just get a dorm or couchsurf, the "privacy" you get here is not worth it.

Honestly this place docent even deserve 1 star. The Staff is so rude, the room was absolutely disgusting, it smells terrible, there were dirty dishes in the sink, and stains on the sheets. I hate writing bad reviews but I genuinely wouldn't want anyone to experience what I did.

What a surprise when you are announced that you won't sleep in the Farrington Inn building but instead an appartment on the other side of the road, at least parking was free.... I took one bedroom with common bathroom (For precision : During my 2nd day, hot water wasn't available.) It wasn't that dirty except the A/C. The bedroom itself was so small like 5 square meter (55 sqft). Let's talk about the roomates. Only one has gotten on my nerve by calling someone at 2:00am until 7:00am and speaking so loudly that I could understand.340$ USD/2 nights feels way overpriced for what you get, book only this hotel at your risk if there's no other cheap accomodation

It’s hard to give a 3 star because I was desperate to find something under $200 near the subway, airport and train station. This was my first time ever visiting Boston. I guess something big was going on because this was our only option. $171 was our final price for one night and I can compare it to a motel that’d be $45 a night. Because of the quality, I was worried about my safety but the neighborhood was great! Young families and students everywhere and I felt safe walking at night to and from the subway stop. The front desk help was so nice and offered free water and snacks, but after we left the lobby, my smile quickly fell. Our room was in a large apartment building down the street and around the corner. 3 locked doors and 3 flights later, we got to our double room with a hallway shared bathroom. I included a video of our room. It stayed cool though and our neighbors were never too noisy. The bathroom was the scariest part. I’d bring shower shoes and a caddy if you need to stay more than one night. My husband didn’t think too much about the cleanliness but I was terrified to touch any surface. Overall, it did what it needed to do but if I could’ve moved to another hotel, I would’ve in a heartbeat. I will never be back again but it has the potential to be a nice option for a cheap, one night stay.Walkability: Close to subway stop and multiple restaurants nearby.

Easily the worst room I've ever booked. Check-in is analog and moves at a snails pace. They're actually using metal keys that must be jiggled to open the door.The carpeting is musky and creates an asthmatic reaction. The AC is a window unit that took about 15 hours to cool the room. Anytime a door is opened or closed you hear it, the walls are thin.Got 1 towel for 2 people. This place is not worth $120 a night, frankly not worth $50 a night.
