Pros: Lots of parking in the back, 8 minute walk from the T station, cheapest hotel we could find in the city of Boston, clean sheets/toilets/shower. Cons: Everything else. Mattress was curved, room was boiling with no air conditioning except a fan provided, floors and walls were cracked, only thing provided was half a roll of toilet paper and a bar of soap. No coffee, shampoo etc.

Staff shifted me to a room in a different building and mislead me that the building and room were much better. The building was absolutely filthy and should never be allowed to post as a legitimate business on your site, or anywhere. Room was unheated, with a broken window, unlockable and on Main Floor ! Truly little more than a Flop House for the homeless. HUGE disappointment !

This Inn is very run down though my room was clean at least. However, there is no soap or paper towels in any of the bathrooms. My blinds were broken and only half covered the window so people could see into my room from the outside when I dressed. The same with the bathroom on my floor. It was missing man slats and was right by the shower facing the street so again people could see into it when you were by the shower. I don't expect much from a budget place yet this was simply not acceptable.

This is not a property you should list. It is a run down house run by nice people who apparently dont care enough about the condition of the property. The hallway bathroom was horrible. I was unable to use the facilities as the toilet was backed up and stuffed with toilet paper. With some serious investment and a more dedicated staff and owner, it could become a charming Bed and breakfast. As it is, it should not be listed on your site.
