The location is convenient for getting around Brookline, but guests should be warned about the many stairs in the building. Getting to the top floor rooms is not for the faint of heart. And, at least in the winter, the room I was given was quite cold. When I asked about heat, I was told I had the warmest room in the house and that I should keep the heat in by closing the blinds and curtains.

In desperate need of a glow up

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a dusty old doll house? Here's your chance. Hotel Beacon Inn 1750 is a conundrum. The location is great, right on the T, Green Line, with easy access to the medical district, Fenway, and nice restaurants/cafés within walking distance. The price is a good value for Brookline. The front desk attendant was friendly. The problem is this old girl has seen better days. Check in is mashed up with the 'breakfast' service area, just inside the front door. The rooms are in rough shape, and the bathroom was in bad shape. The brand new television hung on the wall didn't work. No night tables by the bed and only two outlets in the room. The window air conditioner was taped into the window. Hotel Beacon Inn 1750 needs a glow up in the worst way but has a few good attributes most specifically location and walkability.

Where to begin……I flew to Boston with my daughter to get her settled into a place nearby the hotel as she was attending BU in the fall. I was there for 6 days total and the first few days wasn’t bad until finding out a few items purchased at the BU campus store were stolen!! I told a young man named James what happened and he was so nonchalant about the matter stating he didn’t think it could be his housekeeper! The male housekeeper was the only person in our room!! Who else could it be other than staff at that point. I received no apologies, just said he would relay this to the manager. I asked him for a managers name and he refused to give me this info!! What kind of Mickey Mouse running hotel is this?! Words cannot express my anger and frustration. I had to call Expedia and take it up with them instead. I regret ever staying at that ridiculous hotel. I would not recommend this place to anyone especially if you don’t want your belongings missing!!

There is nothing we would recommend about this property. The room was dirty. Crumbs on the mantle and table, the bathroom had “splatter” all over the sink and medicine cabinet along with balls of hair on the floor and in the mats. The bathtub still had dirt from the previous user on the bottom of it as well as hair coming out of the drain. The linens all had a yellow stain or two on them. The air conditioner would only do one temperature. Parking is quite sketchy. We were very disappointed.

We were there literally ten hours, but it was a great place to stay. Our train was stuck on the track for hours, so we missed out on our evening in Boston before a dr appt. We will be coming back to Boston, and will definitely stay here again. It is clean and comfortable, and access to transportation is great. It is a great place to stay and a great value too.

Beacon 1750 is a "you get what you pay for" boutique hotel. Even modest hotels near the city center cost at least $300/night, so for $200/night this property met my expectations. First, it's about 2 miles (15 minutes on the trolley) west of the metro/tourist zone in a residential neighborhood. Second, it's rough around the edges but functional. The negatives: the bathroom was tiny, the towels thin, there were no outlets near the beds and the room was clean enough but not immaculate. The positives: the hotel feels very safe, the beds were comfortable and it was very easy transporting to and from "the city".

Simple, basic, clean

I had to be in Boston at the last minute over the July 4 holiday. I was happy to find this reasonably-priced room in the area where I needed to be. It was clean, quiet and basic. Had the feel of someone's infrequently used guest room. The bathroom sink was slow, but other than that everything was fine. Note that if you plan to arrive late, you ll need to alert the hotel ahead of time so they leave a key for you. I didn't see this when I first booked, but luckily I read the fine print.
