I've stayed at the Farrington probably 50 times for work. It is a funky place but I love it. Clean but maybe the blinds will be bent or the desk will have a drawer that doesn't open. I don't care, it is close to BU, it's unbelievably cheap for Boston, and the staff are really great. When I stayed there every week for work, they would remember that I needed extra pillows and bring them out without my asking. Last week I called in a panic because I couldn't find a hotel on the way from NC to Boston and I called them at 11am asking if they had a room for me at 2am. "No problem, come in!" was the answer. I'll stay there every time I go to Boston!

In general it was nice. Staff was very good, helped with the luggage. I wish there were soap and clean towels in the bathroom or in the room, but that's OK, we were prepared.

Ugh

Looks like the management either do not care or do not know how to run business, care about the place and respect their guests. All needs to be properly clean, refurbish and give care. It's such a missed opportunity for great inn...

I was completely satisfied with what I paid for. Perfect for ovation and cost to explore the city. Not glamorous , but just fine for me. And they were incredibly nice, easy to deal with and bent over backwards to work with me on my dates and travel schedule due to work issues. I have zero complaints.

This place responded to my reservation emergency

This place was very good for the emergency reservation, they are keeping people from disaster. The facilities, however, are very substandard, even given the price

Needs a lot of work.

The stay wasn't the greatest. The Inn needs a serious make over. There wasn't enough towels. They need new beds. Window shades falling apart. The entire room and bathroom was not clean. There was hair on the bathroom sink. Refrigerator was dirty. Tiles cracked and falling apart. The last two nights was not a good because all we heard was noises. I dont know what else to say. If you're looking for comfort, this Inn is not a good place to stay. We are very disappointed.

the place is located in a good area, but I don’t know how the place is open still. the bathtub in the bathroom is clogged, so when taking a shower your feet are deep in water in a bathroom that everyone else uses. everything is so old and does not look clean at all maybe because of that?

Place seemed very sketchy and did not look like a very safe environment. The place also looked very broken down and just was not good for the price.

It's not the Ritz Carlton & it doesn't need to be

Let's be honest. If you're looking for the Ritz (or even the store brand) then this isn't the place for you. I spent just over $400 with tax for a 2BR with private bath apartment on St. Pat's weekend in Boston. There's a TON of great food and bakeries within walking distance, it's 5-10 minutes walk from the green line and there's multiple buses that go into town. It's it a great place? No. Is it a great deal for the money, hell yes.
