Great area for food / bars, fine place to stay if you’re very flexible. Decently clean overall but needs a good deep clean.

If you need a cheap place this is a good option. Don’t expect anything grand at all.

Allston is a working class neighborhood with lots of students. There are a great selection of restaurants; especially Asian fare. So many great places to eat and explore. There is some urban blight and decay.

The Farrington Inn has a wonderful staff and is located near the Harvard Ave train stop. The room we stayed in had a private bathroom, kitchenette, and comfortable bed. It was a great place for the price! We would definitely stay there again!

The address listed is not where we stayed. They have buildings throughout the neighborhood. We actually were escorted out of the check in building and down the block, where we stayed at 38 Linden st. Didn’t like not knowing that ahead of time.

It has a ton of history and I felt safe sleeping in my room. I arrived late because I had a flight next morning and it was the only somewhat affordable hotel. Reception was very kind and actually upgraded me for my 1 night stay. Recommend if you need something close to airport & don’t mind sleeping in something historical .

It was just what we needed. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, and safe. The airconditioner worked well and the there were towels and toiletries that we needed. Be advised that it is a walk up but that was no issue for us. Yes, it is old but it is clean and safe.

The facilities are not nice. I understand it's a cheap hotel in Boston, but not that cheap. Hallways are very dirty as well as any communal area

I kept telling myself “it’s a really old building” because if you don’t look too close it would be quaint. But let’s just say I’m glad I brought my shower shoes…

This place was horrible, smell everything! Once I seen the rooms, I instantly felt bad for anyone staying there. Smell stuck to my clothes. Thin walls so you can hear everything. And of course shared bathrooms, eww.

I was completely satisfied with what I paid for. Perfect for ovation and cost to explore the city. Not glamorous , but just fine for me. And they were incredibly nice, easy to deal with and bent over backwards to work with me on my dates and travel schedule due to work issues. I have zero complaints.

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.
