I found this place while looking for a Bed & Breakfast in Boston. Well, it is definitely not that. If you find links to it from B&B websites, please report it as incorrect. There is no breakfast, only 1 pot of coffee per day. While the location was fine for what we went to Boston for - a Red Sox game (Fenway is only 10 minutes walk away), the place is otherwise horrible. The carpet is stained and dirty, and there were also mysterious stains on the walls and bathroom floor. Our room should not have been a room at all - maybe a closet space. Add to that the hippie-looking guy at the front desk, no water fountain, no ice, no AC, and you have a lousy joint.

We are a budget establishment and offer the lowest prices in Boston’s Back Bay, but we certainly make every effort to provide a clean and comfortable environment. Unfortunately there are times some things ‘slip by’, and for that we apologize.
However, our staff is available to correct any faults during our guests’ stays – we hire the best help we can find, sorry our front desk person did not fit this guest’s perception of what a ‘front desk’ person should look like.
As our name indicates, we are a ‘Guest House’, not a B & B– We are often included under inns & B&Bs headings depending on the listing source, which is beyond our control.
We offer complimentary and continuous coffee & tea in our lobby from
8:15 AM – 8:15 PM. When rooms are reserved we specifically indicate the size (small, medium, or large), and amenities (air conditioned or fan), we also indicate this with a written confirmation in advance.
We are sorry this guest was not satisfied. For the last 20 years we have strived to offer a comfortable and affordable experience, and will continue to do so.
