Was very impressed from the cleanness.

The room we stayed in was on the top floor (4th floor), which is likely why the ceiling was very low, only a few centimeters above 2 meters. Tall guests should inform the hotel about their height before booking.

Location was really nice because the green line is just in 2 min. Also there is a market close. The only problem was about the heater, which is central, not possible to control the temperature and for the room we stayed was tooooo hot.

It didn’t feel like cleaning was a priority. I use a cpap machine and the plug fell out of the socket and my machine quit working. The table lamps were unplugged like they didn’t trust them

They called me to arrange getting the key after hours.

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.
