I’ll start with the positives…good rate, large old house with front and back stairs in a stunning part of Brookline. Lots of green trees, short walk to drug store and a great Whole Foods, excellent access to the T (public transport), very easy and quick into Boston. Negatives. While this B&B has potential, it is filthy dirty. I was given a different room than I booked on Hotels.com and was told ‘next time’ to call & confirm the room pictured online. Everything (except the linens and towels) was covered with thick dust/grime: blinds, floors, windowsills, floorboards, ceiling, under bed. Bath was soap-scum stained. Lighting is terrible. I asked for another room and was switched. It was larger but also filthy. I showed the young lady at the desk the spaces in the room that had so much dirt/dust/cobwebs it was scary and she nodded noting the whole room. I went out and returned later. The « housekeeper » had « cleaned » just those two scary areas while I was gone but barely and left the rest as is. There is a Keurig with coffee available 24/7 so that was good. Breakfast is really just enough to hold you until you can get to a restaurant (bagel, cold cereal, banana, granola bar). A couple of the employees were very nice and, I believe, meant well -they just have no idea what they’re doing. This is not a place to go for charming B&B service. Oh, and there are mousetraps everywhere, even in the sink cabinet so I daren’t unpack. While cheap, one leaves feeling ripped off.

Amenities were common for a guest house. Coffee and water were available 24/7 and a complimentary continental breakfast is available in the morning. Off-street parking is available for $33. It was a comfortable stay in an old historic building that is close to everything. It was a perfect spot to stay for a night when moving my daughter into her apartment for college.

Low cost inn, basic provisions. Quiet and private rooms, with own bathroom. In a historic house with winding staircase to each floor level. Parking is availble for charge, for mid or small size vehicle. Spots are in front of each other, so may need to move car for other guests. Self serve style check in/out.

The old style walls and stairs

I really liked the colonial style of the room, simple, nice bed. Felt like I was a guest in someone's house. Room service didn't freshen the room though twice, breakfast not there one morning. There was a smell of propane in the lobby that was a bit scary, but obviously was not. I would stay there again as price was good and the location perfect for my needs.

Nice brownstone located right across the street from the C train line which made it very convenient to Boston! Young man covering front desk was great. Disappointed by parking and price of parking for guests.

Need to have cups glasses in the room

The property was a reasonable price and rooms were nice if not a little small. AC worked well in one room and fair in the other. Staff was helpful and would recommend this location for others to stay at.

I liked the non-corporate feel and old building charm.

Avoid in hotter days .. Room too small, and with the current heat it took 3-4 hours to cool down room..

The property is in a fantastic location close to the T that runs into Boston. Safe quiet and beautiful area. The property is old. Every thing there is old and historic. Stayed there 3 nights and they never made our bed, gave us clean towels or cleaned anything. Even after we asked it wasn’t done. That annoyed me for the price we paid to be there. I would definitely stay in Brookline again just maybe not here. It was clean in the beginning and the AC worked good in super hot and humid conditions so there was that.

The room was just what we needed: good beds, clean bathroom, good price, good access to public transit.

Leaking bathtub in Room 6, dust covering furniture and under the bed, overwhelming smell of cleanser in room.

This trip was for a conference that begins early the next day. I came in one day earlier to settle in and prepare. This property seems to have run down since COVID overall. The location the staff members (this time by students) were the main positive aspect, in addition to the general vintage of the building. Coffee choices were great, but not tea choices. The details that I thought of lacking of attention are: - The room is overall not sparking clean (there is visible dust on the hairdryer set, for example) and there is no recycling bag. - No headboard for the bed. - The socket shell of the lamp on the nightstand is broken - The electric outlets along the wall under the windows are not working. Guests have to unplug the table lamp if they need to use their laptops.
