Based on its description online, this property was less well-maintained than I expected. It felt more like a hostel or what I imagine old boarding houses to be than contemporary lodging. The price and location were “right” for me, though.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful experience staying here. The property was very clean and well maintained. Although some of the facilities are shared, everything was comfortable and easy to use. They also have almost everything you might need available at the front desk, which was very convenient. What impressed me most was John’s incredible kindness and hospitality. Even after I had returned to Japan, he went above and beyond to help me from thousands of miles away. He handled everything with such care, patience, and sincerity, and I was truly touched by his kindness. It’s not often that you experience this level of hospitality, especially after your stay is already over. I would definitely stay here again when I visit Boston. Five stars without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was going to walk to the New Balance Track, and asked the front desk man for directions. Rather than give me directions, he walked with me the mile to the track and pointed out good Korean restaurants and breakfast places along the walk. He was superbly kind and helpful (as I’m not great with directions).

The inn was a bit run down, but we felt safe and were pleased with the affordability. The beds were comfortable and the area was quiet.
(The beds were made when we arrived.) The carpet was pretty gross. Grafitu on the wall art. Other than these things, the room was safe, comfortable, and quiet.

The person on staff was very friendly and helpful and kind and really went above and beyond. It was nice to have off street parking and we didn’t mind paying a little extra for it. However, in the room, the toilet was dirty, the sink had little bits of hair all around the bowl, the shower grout was black and in bad shape. There also wasn’t any soap to wash hands in either the bathroom or the tiny kitchen. We were told it was coming, but it never did. There were also cigarette burns on the blankets. I understand this is an expensive area for hotels, but at $200 per night, I would never have expected what we got.
