never again

I was just extremely disappointed as there was no mention of the bathroom for the room being communal with about 6 other rooms and the picture not showing the actual building the room was in. all the pictures are from the lobby/main building and we stayed in a relatively dirty, small room with nothing but 2 beds and then a communal bathroom with a dirty laundry machine.

My partner & I booked this place as a last minute stay. The staff was very friendly but didn’t explain things very well. The parking situation was rough & on top of that, you have to pay for parking. This place is not at all like it is advertised. We checked in & were then brought out on to the street; they have several properties throughout the neighborhood. Our place was hot, dirty, & felt unsafe. Everything was dirty & seemed unsanitary. We had to share a bathroom which was incredibly outdated & dirty. There was mold all over the shower & no clean towels. My partner hit his head getting into the shower because it was so low. The lock on the door was flimsy. We checked out at 10 p.m. due to feeling incredibly unsafe & uncomfortable. I absolutely would not recommend staying here, even for the price.

i stayed at the big worn down wooden property with the fake flowers on the balconies, the buildings was in terrible condition. the tiles in the shared kitchen were cracked and some were missing, you can tell the stairs haven't been cleaned in years, the walls were sticky, the shower doors in both upstairs and downstairs were broken, kitchen was left disguising by the people

We had a great time, and this is in a good location. We took a short walk to Harvard and enjoyed that area. The room is very minimal, but nice people and clean bathrooms.

Nothing like advertised. The staff is welcoming but the place is filthy dirty especially the rooms. Carpet in the room is so stained everywhere that you can’t even walk on. The toilet and bathroom filthy dirty, toilet had poop in thereomg it was a traumatic experience, I had to leave 19 mn after I arrived to go find another hotel. The staff is nice and accepted to give me a refund.
