Attentive staff but not very clean, worn furniture - needs urgent renovation

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
1-night trip

2/10

Door wasn’t properly aligned with doorway so of lights were on inside the room, everyone outside the room could see inside my room. The bathroom was a shared space with no curtain and a door to a secret room, I always pretended the door wasn’t there to calm my fears that someone was hiding inside while I was in the bathroom shared with different strangers each day. Had to leave early because it was so scary and dusty, stayed with a friend that lived way further from the location we were visiting because a more expensive uber was better than staying another night there.

I didn’t read the reviews when I booked the Farrington . Everything else was so expensive! The woman a the front desk was nice , and offered us a better room for an extra $20 a night - and this room would have a private bathroom . So we said yes and then she took us to the separate apartment building . The building is definitely run down and creepy. What we did get was an entire apartment. It was old but clean . But still kinda more creepy than good . Clean sheets . Also one must pick up Towels and toilet paper from the reception area . It was still an expensive room - I thought - for what it was . I would not stay here again . It was basic and okay but I was actually not thrilled to be there at all .

I loved the Persian/eastern-style carpets. Reminds of home!

It was too expensive for what we’ve got. We got a shared bath room and someone was living there and made the commons space already messy (not cleaned enough, especially bathroom).

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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 .
