I was coming back into Boston from Providence before my flight the following morning. In my haste to book an inexpensive flight home, I overlooked the fact my flight departed at 07:25. Unless I wanted to attempt sleep in the airport, I needed a very short-term stay in Boston. Thankfully this accommodation fit my needs exactly.
I selected the location primarily because Tuffs Medical Center station was only one block over which serviced the MBTA Orange Line . It was an extremely convenient location for me, especially considering the disagreeable weather that day.
I arrived early and since I had booked a shared room, I was not able to check-in early. The person stationed at the front desk gladly offered to store my luggage while the room was still being prepared. In the intervening hours between then and my check-in time, I was able to sit-in for lunch at a nearby Thai restaurant. A secondary reason I selected this location was its walkable proximity to a variety of food establishments.
Check-in was a breeze and I was soon exploring my shared room on the fourth floor. The room was modest as I had expected. I didn't want or need anything exotic; I only needed a bed and a shower for the next 15 hours. The room was cast in brown shades and shadows, only interrupted by the filtered light through the curtains of the four bunk beds. The sole window offered a view to an adjacent brick wall and teased hints of the sky if one were crane their neck to see. Needless to say: my room was perfect.
The bed was firm, but comfortable. As this was my first time staying in shared setting, I explored the bedside was pleased to see a power outlet and powered USB ports near the light switch.
My bunk came with an associated locking cabinet to store luggage. I didn't use this space and instead stored my belongings with me in my bunk instead.
I was able to sleep relatively undisturbed from 17:00 until my alarm at 04:00. When I awoke I discovered another bunk in the room had become occupied and I did my best to minimize my sound as I showered, packed, and departed the room.
Overall, this was a positive experience. As I stated prior: I had never stayed in a shared accommodation so I wasn't sure what to expect. Because my room was only full to half maximum occupancy, it's possible that my experience is not common. However, given my my short stay at FOUND I would still recommend this location to others.
