The location was handy and access to public transport was very convenient. There is a good choice of restaurants, in particular, I'd recommend the tiny corner Italian restaurant on the main street called 'Alfredo's'. His pasta is cooked to order and very well priced eg $13-20 for a generous bowl of delicious pasta. Alfredo's garlic bread is good and made with quality bread from Little Italy bakery. He also makes his own cannoli.
Cleanliness and functionality were poor and the premises and furnishings were very dated and worn. Examples: a. beds were old and saggy, carpet was filthy and stained, blinds were broken, no flywire on window. b. bathroom was dirty, cracked tiles, shower had no 'head' - plumbing needed as just a spout with water that sprayed in all directions, water temperature was cooler than luke warm and pressure was poor as the lever to cut water from the bath spout to the shower head didn't work. No toiletries provided.

nothing. it was a horrible experience and total waste of our money.
the bathroom was not clean, used soap shampoo in the shower, huge vomit in the sink. they had no one to come and clean the room. 2 hours later the desk attendant tried to clean the bathroom but the vomit was so dried up that it would not clean. we never used the sink and used the one in the little kitchenette in the room. it was gross.
the mattress should not even be allowed to be used. creaky with broken springs. sleeping on a camping pad is more comfortable than this.
we would not recommend this place. carpet hallway was gross and stained.

THe Farrington Inn is exactly what a single person would want. It is very affordable, decently clean and to be honest, whocares about the rest of the people who live there? The rooms are secure and you are getting a perfect place for a very good price. Located in the dead middle of Boston, that place is great and I will definitely be coming back so many more times.
The paid parking is a bit uncomfortable because you pay but the parking spaces are limited so if you return late be ready that the lot will be full. But again, $10 per night is amazing considering anywhere in Boston you will pay at least $12 an hour.

Affordable. The staff was relatively kind.
Bed extremely uncomfy. Common room left open/unlocked. Door to our room felt unsecure. Windows let in all sound.

Great location near lots of restaurants and public transportation.
Many of the rooms have brown wall-to-wall carpeting that looks terrible, dirty and old. It would be great if the owners removed the carpeting and just had the natural wood floors.

The location

I was waiting in the lobby 10 minutes or more for someone to shows up. During this waiting time I heard some mice. Then I notice we have Shar bathroom outside the room. We left and ask for cancelation.

Nothing. The lobby was dirty. It can be old but they can make the place cleaner.
The bathrooms are way too old. They need to renovate to make it look cleaner and presentable to the guests
Everything! My whole family felt all creepy of the place. Glad we only stayed for a night.
5.0
Very friendly and helping staff. Good location. Close to Boston T. We did not expect too much but we slept well and felt safe. It is totally okay for a few days as a backpacker.
The bathrooms are pretty old and used up. Surfaces seemed clean"ish" though. A bit overprices but in relation to other locations in Boston, that is what you get I guess.

1.0
Location, nothing else, and well the staff, they were nice enough to offer help carrying my luggage up the stairs, they were quite heavy, none the less he helped me without me asking for it.
The bathroom is shared amongst guests, cleanliness is poor, and the place is derelict like no other place I have ever stayed. The bed is the worst I have ever slept on, and the public areas such as halls, lobby, doors, etc. are accordingly horrible. Whilst loading my car with luggage I say a huge rat in a rat trap, 24 hours later, the rat was still there, full of bugs and flies, the staff had not taken care of this even though I told them about this the moment i say it.

I like New England architecture and that the hotel is an older building.
The top stairs toilet stops up a lot but at least there’s a disclaimer posted above it.

Ratio of restrooms to visitors was too small.
The mattress on the bed could have been more level.
There should have been some clothes-hangers in the closet.
Replace the broken things: chair, nightstand, lightbulbs, ...

the location, the staff were so so kind, the place was quiet, and although shared bathrooms, I never had a problem accessing it - the bathroom was very clean and I felt very comfortable using it and sharing it. very good to have your own sink in the bathroom too
the carpet in the room was very stained and felt quite dirty, and there were a few stains on the bedding

The price
We were put in a completely different building around the corner. Almost like a college dorm room (there seemed to be college students in rooms around us). They only offer housekeeping at an additional price. They tell you to park on the street if possible or pay nightly to park in their parking lot, but street parking is all posted "permit only".
