You get what you pay for. Acceptable stay, very small room, dimly lit, noisy a/c and shared bathroom. Fine for a place to just sleep overnight. Only limited street parking for free.

Good easy location from I-90 & cheap price. Easy access to City and Fenway Park. Walk or T. Rooms very basic and place is old and run down. Good for 1 night stay or weekend sleep base. We were out all day for both days snd just slept in room. 2 star at best

Admittedly, the amenities were pretty slim compared to Motel 6, but the price and location made up for it! We had an early flight out of Logan and managed to get there quickly. Would definitely go back!

It was convenient to restaurant selections. My room included a bathroom so that was a surprise. It didn't have a glass or a cup, yet it had a microwave and a refrigerator. There was no washcloth. I felt the sprngs in the mattress while I slept. The hallway rugs appeared worn and dirty.

i stayed at the big worn down wooden property with the fake flowers on the balconies, the buildings was in terrible condition. the tiles in the shared kitchen were cracked and some were missing, you can tell the stairs haven't been cleaned in years, the walls were sticky, the shower doors in both upstairs and downstairs were broken, kitchen was left disguising by the people

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 hotel was quite old and had a slightly eerie feel. The bathroom was very small and offered limited amenities. However, it was cost-effective and worth the price paid. The place was quiet and peaceful, and the staff were prompt and helpful."

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.
