The rooms were not as advertised and the bathrooms had no provisions.
Door wasn’t properly aligned with doorway so of lights were on inside the room, everyone outside the room could see inside my room. The bathroom was a shared space with no curtain and a door to a secret room, I always pretended the door wasn’t there to calm my fears that someone was hiding inside while I was in the bathroom shared with different strangers each day. Had to leave early because it was so scary and dusty, stayed with a friend that lived way further from the location we were visiting because a more expensive uber was better than staying another night there.
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.
Great area for food / bars, fine place to stay if you’re very flexible. Decently clean overall but needs a good deep clean.

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.
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

It has a ton of history and I felt safe sleeping in my room. I arrived late because I had a flight next morning and it was the only somewhat affordable hotel. Reception was very kind and actually upgraded me for my 1 night stay. Recommend if you need something close to airport & don’t mind sleeping in something historical .
This place was horrible, smell everything! Once I seen the rooms, I instantly felt bad for anyone staying there. Smell stuck to my clothes. Thin walls so you can hear everything. And of course shared bathrooms, eww.
I kept telling myself “it’s a really old building” because if you don’t look too close it would be quaint. But let’s just say I’m glad I brought my shower shoes…
