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!

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 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."

Dingy. Carpeted floors didn't seem clean. Stained towel. Would not recommend, even for the price.

There are hairs on the bed and floor. Seemed not cleaned. I didn't expect any luxury with price, but at least keep the room clean

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 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.

Nothing like advertised. The staff is welcoming but the place is filthy dirty especially the rooms. Carpet in the room is so stained everywhere that you can’t even walk on. The toilet and bathroom filthy dirty, toilet had poop in thereomg it was a traumatic experience, I had to leave 19 mn after I arrived to go find another hotel. The staff is nice and accepted to give me a refund.

The property got the job done when it came to having a place to sleep, showers and bathroom areas were dirty, moldy and in deep need of renovation. The shower on our floor was clogged with water pooling in the bottom so we had to use the one upstairs. There were bugs in the kitchen as well. There was laundry that worked which was a plus and there was air conditioning in the room. Everything else was in pretty poor condition but got the job done for the price range. Would only stay again if we were desperate.

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

Dreary entryway; dirty rugs throughout; bathroom sink cracked, with broken plastic hot water handle; broken window shade in bathroom; what little furniture that was in the bedroom was grimy and dirty; only a single overhead light in bedroom with no night stands with lamps; TV had only one channel, and to make that work you had to plug and unplug the TV; walls in the stairwells were cracked with pieces on the stairs; building and surrounding property was in ill-repair. On the positive side, the staff was nice.
