I booked this place less than a month in advance because not much else was available. Definitely a good location for the price, but we experienced the following issues:
1. They don’t make it clear enough that 239 w Newton is not your guaranteed location. We went to 239 to check in and then they sent us to Botholp st. I would have liked to know our actual location address from the start rather than be surprised that we had to travel further
2. At the botolph st location if you’re on the 2nd floor (not sure about others) you can literally hear anybody coming in, leaving, going up the stairs, down, conversations, loud footsteps, etc. never felt like you were alone or had any privacy, almost like a college dorm room
3. Freezing room, remote control available to change the temp but it did not work (or the room was on max heat but I was still shivering) I know Boston is cold but the room is so small it should have been a warm space for us
4. Small comforter that barely fit over the full bed
5. Lastly, and worst of all, two medium sized very yellow stains on the white comforter
