The Farrington Inn

Stayed here in June 2024. Front office staff was decent, fair, and helpful. Able to use my mother’s credit card without a hassle. Which was great compared to the problem I had when I stayed at the DoubleTree near Tufts in October 2024. I digress, rooms are up to par. I found it to be economical for the length of stay. My stay was for a week! I found the decor to be beautiful and classic. I loved the wooden banisters and fin de siècle rugs. Reminded me of The Chelsea Hotel when I went to a salon in their lofts back in 2006. Great salon by the way! Once again, I digress. There was one little incident that I think the hotel should know about. My door did not lock that well. One night, a man tried to enter my room. I yelled at him and asked him why he was in my room! I did scream it at the top of my lungs! He immediately left. I didn’t call the police because I am an idiot! If I could make one suggestion it would be to improve the locks.

This place was great!! The staff was amazing! They let me keep my belongings there while I went to get more money for the next night. Most places wouldn't do that and I appreciate that so much especially with snow up to my knees in February. Even though I had a shared bathroom, I didn't mind at all. My room is huge on the third floor it was the top floor, and I had two king size beds a kitchenette a huge flat screen TV it was so awesome! We stayed there for about a week, and we didn't have to pay every night up front as we were homeless at the time, and we play music to get some extra money and we had some friends Western Union as well but the fact they let us leave our stuff there in the room or behind the counter was really awesome I will never forget that kindness. I would definitely stay there again.

This place was what I expected from the reviews. Cheap, murder vibes, not deep cleaned. Or some areas possibly not cleaned. Horrendous mattress. I personally wouldn't shower in the bathrooms. I also don't have confidence in the ancient stained ac and wouldn't stay here in the summer. That being said the staff was friendly and the location is convenient. I simply needed a bed to sleep in and a secure place for my bags for one night and this did the job. Funky old building with lots of..... character.

Stayed here for one night on a budget road trip. It was definitely budget. Got woken up at 1am to loud banging and screaming sounds coming from the parking lot where my car was parked. Witnessed a homeless man getting into a serious fight with the dumpster. Punching, kicking and slamming himself into the dumpster for more than an hour. I could care less about that’s but was extremely worried that this was all happening 2ft from my car. Cozy room aside from the gum stuck to the floor next to the bed. Bathroom was avoided at almost all costs unless was seriously needed.

this was obviously really cheap so you get your moneys worth but it got to a point we had to leave for another hotel after 3 nights. this is the place to stay if you’re on a tight budget and only stay for one night. it’s a communal bathroom and there is no soap or paper towels. the shower is dirty and the rooms are dirty too. we were on the first floor so it got really humid when it rained and the ac was very loud. there were stains on the bedsheets and pillow cases. i obviously don’t recommend this place as the neighborhood was sketchy and 2 ambulances came to the house next door during our stay. there is definitely weird things happening in the houses nearby. i gave 2 stars instead of 1 because there’s good restaurants nearby and the staff. the staff was thankfully helpful and cleaned the bathroom after we asked and gave us towels.

The hotel is old. Everything in the rooms is truly very, very old — and it can’t be called clean. Our room had two windows. Both were broken. One couldn’t be opened at all, and the blinds were half torn off. The other could be opened, but one half of the window kept falling off and had to be constantly put back in place. The room smelled unpleasant. The toilet is shared and located in the hallway — also not a pleasant place to be. The mattress was so worn out that it squeaked loudly, and if two people sleep on it, they inevitably roll into the middle together. After a night on that bed, our backs hurt badly. There was a centimeter-thick layer of dust on the radiator. The walls were dirty. The staff was polite but did not inform us about the actual condition of the rooms. Right now, I can literally see dried snot on the wall. I’m not joking. I think that for $100 per night, this is an absolutely shameful level. Do not stay here. I do not recommend it. By the way, there is a small parking lot near the hotel, but keep in mind they will charge you an additional $10 per night. Don’t expect any towels or soap either — there simply aren’t any.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were rough. cigarette burns in sheets. molding ripped off the walls. the communal hall bathroom was sketchy. it had a simple slide lock—which didn’t fully lock—that could have been easily kicked off my a simple jiggle of the doorknob. if you’re a single man with extremely low standards, go for it. this place is not for women or children.

I have traveled extensively all over north America. This place is a dump and should be condemned. Smelly and disgusting. The dude at the front desk was very strange. Felt like we were staying in a haunted house. No sleep at all. DO NOT STAY HERE
