About what you would expect for this location (very central) at this price (not high). Basically a dorm. On the first day the lock to the building was ripped off. As in, anyone can get in. Fixed on my second day. Room had a pretty strong smell, I suppose I got used to it. All and all very functional. Minimum everything. On one hand I wouldn't complain in that I got exactly what I wanted-- a no nonsense place to sleep in the middle of Boston. And paid less than I hoped to. Not to mention that I booked on the same day as I checked in. In similar circumstances I'd probably book it again. On the other hand it was definitely the dingiest place I've stayed in ten years. Certainly not for everybody.
