Nice place !

Great staff very friendly ! Old building ! Bathroom needs upgrade but overall nice place !
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

If you’re looking for a no-frills place to lay your head for a night, this place will do. If you’re allergic to dust, maybe not. This place is old and could desperately use some love, but the staff are friendly, the bed was OK, the shower had good pressure, but the carpets were pretty gross. Also, if you need absolute darkness, I would bring something to cover your eyes.

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!

Budget Friedly Stay

The place was definitely a budget friendly and cheap stay while being close to the center of New York. The reception staff was very friendly and accommodating. However, the place was very old and a bit run down. The common areas weren’t very clean and the bedroom had broken and old furniture. If you are looking for something cheap to sleep in is a good choice, but if you are looking for a quality stay, this is not the right for you.

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.
William, 2-night trip

8/10 Very 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.

2/10 Poor

The worst place I’ve ever stayed

This inn is the worse place I’ve ever stayed. The mattresses were bowed in so badly that I kept rolling into the middle of the bed. Al’s there were no fitted sheets, just one sheet tucked in. There was nowhere to put my towel, I just had to set it on the water heater. The bathroom didn’t have any hand soap, just a travel size shampoo bottle. The shower was so grimey and the shower floor was tinged with black/gray spots. The only positive thing is that we didn’t get bedbugs or a serious infection. We couldn’t find another place to stay because of how busy it was, but I will certainly pay more and stay somewhere nicer
Jenna, 2-night trip

Move on

Location is good but the hygiene is simply awful. The place is falling apart and there are no amenities. Staff are very pleasant and nice and they try. Location is very close to Harvard, loads of restaurants but the houses on the street need a whole hell of a lot of love. Shared bathroom, no soap or shower gel or any amenities so buyer beware. Final pro tip: Check the bed sheets for stains, we found dried in coffee or something dark anyway!

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.
