Location: seemed decent, fairly safe. Nothing fancy, typical college area with lots of little restaurants and shops. It was an interesting, nice walk to downtown from here, but fairly far (over an hour and a half for me). The train is close though of you prefer that. Room: It looked ok, seemed like everything could use a good scrub, but... More

Only thing I can tell you is that I left a bottle of bed bug spray under sink in room 102. Good luck. More

We had mice in our room, that woke us up in the middle of the night. Despite the fact that we were moved to another room, the hostel's staff member was annoyed and explained that "it's an old house, it happens", but not for $100 a night!!!. More

Shocking!!! Filthy!!! Dump!!! You will walk up loose stairs into a sweltering holding room with a mangy looking, lodge style, deer head over the useless fireplace. Until the profusely sweating check in guy comes to greet you to take you to your night of terror. The bedding has holes and is unraveling at the seams. The TV gets a few... More

I spent 3 nights in Boston. I slept one at Logan's Terminal E, another one on top of a one story structure at Boston Common park, and the third one here. If I had to do it all over again, I would go out drinking with my $50, instead of spending them here, and just sleep at the park again.... More

Everything in Boston was expensive but I thought the farrington was fine. Nice hotel porch to sit on in the evening, clean room, got upgraded to one with its own bathroom, and the staff was pleasant. I could see the room getting too warm or cold during extreme weather but it was fine while I was there. Also conveniently located... More

We stayed here over July 4th weekend so there wasn't much available. The manager emailed us to emphasise this is budget accommodation. As we were at the end of a RTW trip we had been mostly staying in 'budget' accommodation so thought it would be ok, but we were disappointed with the standard of the room and the shared facilities....

My girlfriend and myself stayed at Farrington Inn in May 2010. The neighbourhood is pretty cool, I will give them that. It was a little bit too far from down town for my liking, but that was my own fault for not being realistic. The bedrooms were pretty decent, very aged and warm. The living areas were large, but there... More

there are survelience cameras everywhere watching you leave and arrive, when you leave the owner makes the staff sneak into your room and sprays the mattress for bedbugs (it never works as every room is still infested, so all the guests are unknowingly sleeping in pesticide chemicals and bedbugs). they will put all your belongings back in place so you...

I paid $119 for a night, the bathroom was clogged and dirty, you can lock the bathroom door that is located in the middle of the hall, the oldest TV I ever see, no internet, tiny beds, you have to wait hours to see the manager. The room was smelling, looks like they do not change bed sheets, the room... More
