    The breakfast was definitely lacking. It consisted of muffins, poptarts, breakfast bars, and microwave oatmeal. Being on the fourth floor meant 53 steps. It would've been nice to get a warning. The heat on the fourth floor was almost unbearable.

    The location was convenient and the b&B was beautiful.

    There were times when the room was a little hot. We were not able to control the heat. I think I also would’ve liked it if someone was on duty at the desk all evening. That said, the staff I did encounter or pleasant and helpful.

    I stayed at this location because I was looking for an experience that would be different from staying at a standard hotel. I liked the location. This room was exactly as advertised and what I was expecting.

    Pillows were not very comfortable- filled with plush fiber that offer no support, so woke up a lot, otherwise it was lovely! In the morning the street side made it hard to sleep in, although can't recall if I requested a quiet side or not.

    loved accessibility, proximity to parking, T, food. the mini breakfast bar is always clutch, and check-in/out procedures were smooth. plenty of towels, TP, mini fridge and desk- all while still keeping the old charm of this building!

    We sat outside for our breakfast. The outdoor seating area was very disappointing. Our feet were on dried muck, no bark coverage. Benches were very unsteady. As this is the only place to eat breakfast apart from our room, 3 floors up this was disappointing. It wouldn't take much to make this area more appealing.

    Could use another step down from the bathroom. My husband has a very startling stumble out of the bathroom in the middle of the night due to the size of the step and poor visibility. Also, some cream of whole milk for the coffee would have been nice. Just something other than 1%. I’m just knit picking though.

    The room was gorgeous and wayyyy bigger than I expected. I chose this hotel because it was cheap so, my exceptions were pretty low. Huge bay window and beautiful old world feel. Authentic vintage encyclopedia set on the bookshelf. What a appeared to be a vintage globe and a unique fire place(not for guest, obviously.)

    The parking, if the other two spots don't park correctly, you can't fit into the space you paid for. They did give me a parking pass for street parking, but still. I also didn't like how the bed slanted, I felt like I might roll off the bed.

    I liked the building and location.

    The building is rather old, and the common spaces could be cleaner. My bed was also quite creaky, making it difficult to get a good rest. Lastly, while the hotel is reasonable, I think charging more the $300 a night for a small room with a separate bathroom in an old brownstone is simply too expensive. Maybe that’s just how it is in Boston.

    The location is great (close to the green line, BU, an H Mart, restaurants and cafes). The bathroom is large and nice, despite being disconnected from the unit. Everything went smoothly with my check-in. The breakfast consists of a reasonable selection of pastries: I see other reviews complain about it, but I’ve certainly seen worse even in chain hotels in the US. And it’s included in the room rate.

    The choice of breakfast. Lots of carbohydrates.

    The woman of the housekeeping was very friendly and helpful. I think that many other hotels would like to have an employee like here. The building is fabulous with a victorian style. I liked it.

    I was living at the 3rd floor for international travel with a large suitcase and backbag. There was no elevator, I wish there was someone can give me a hand to lift my luggage.

    The breakfast was great with bagels and croissants and fresh milk.
