10/10 Excellent

Great value. Mattress was excellent. It’s a rooming house, not a motel.
Scott, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

If you’re looking for a fancy hotel with all the bells and whistles, this isn’t it. But if that doesn’t bother you, it is convenient to pubic transportation, close to restaurants, and free parking. The staff was very attentive too.
Norman, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quiet
Marcia, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Staff was great. It's better than sleeping outside and marginally better than sleeping in your car. Bring your own wash cloth! With all that, I'd stay there again.
Monte, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Rona, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Totally unsafe and noisy place, it’s run down property, Expedia should not list it on its site.
Ravi, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was okay for staying night..for sleeping..but i feeling uncomfortable,,door locked was note safe..to lived anything, no,curton
PARESH, 2-night trip

What can I say? It’s the Farrington.

I felt like I belonged
Oliver, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

the only thing it had going was the soft bed. everything else was ghastly. noisy... my room was next to old wooden stairs, you can imagine my sleep.
Marco, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

You get what you pay for. Acceptable stay, very small room, dimly lit, noisy a/c and shared bathroom. Fine for a place to just sleep overnight. Only limited street parking for free.
James, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

It was not great for family
Ranjan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Admittedly, the amenities were pretty slim compared to Motel 6, but the price and location made up for it! We had an early flight out of Logan and managed to get there quickly. Would definitely go back!
Cody, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good easy location from I-90 & cheap price. Easy access to City and Fenway Park. Walk or T. Rooms very basic and place is old and run down. Good for 1 night stay or weekend sleep base. We were out all day for both days snd just slept in room. 2 star at best
William, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Bed, pillows & linens were comfortable! No towels in the room. Never asked about options, so be prepared or ask ahead. Staff was helpful and parking was excellent! The price was right, and the area great for dining, walking, though don’t expect the Ritz. If the property were more posh, the price would be too! There are very delicious options, Asia, Ethnic, Breakfast restaurants. Enjoy!
L. Love, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Property is in desperate need of a renovation. Carpet and bed we’re disgusting
Therese, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

yes, the property is old and dated. The common areas are shabby, worn and dirty but you’re getting a $90 a night room in a very expensive area. The room was clean. The bed was great. The air conditioner worked, Free parking. The staff was available courtesies and helpful. The neighborhood was nice with good restaurants in walking distance. The price for the night was a bargain. So if you want an updated and spotless facility go elsewhere and pay hundreds of dollars a night. If you are looking for a clean room and bed for the night this is the place.

Marcia, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good for its price. Very kind and helpful staff. Facilities are old and could use a facelift.
Ruige, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Staff was incredible, however, had to leave in the middle of the night due to not feeling safe/comfortable. There wasn’t even any hand soap in any of the bathrooms, cigarette burns on the sheets, & there were people smoking in the (connected?) room next to us. Would be a cute property if it was actually well kept. Guys at check in & while leaving were very nice & very understanding. Our “suite” was up three, VERY, steep flights of stairs. Could be a gem with a lots more TLC.
Hannah D, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The room and building need significant renovation..
Cha-Mei, 4-night trip

Jack, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The Farrington Inn has a wonderful staff and is located near the Harvard Ave train stop. The room we stayed in had a private bathroom, kitchenette, and comfortable bed. It was a great place for the price! We would definitely stay there again!
