I would NOT stay here even if someone paid me to
I thought I was going to be staying in the main building pictured on the listing, but whoever helped check me in brought my across the street & up 4 flights of stairs to what was essentially an attic with stains all over the floors, a short ceiling where I could barely stand up straight, stained towels, brutal heat given the window unit barely doing anything, and a really strange bathroom right across the hall. They insisted I prepay prior to going to the room (now it's obvious why) and the weirdo at the front desk insisted I pay $20 for 2 nights of parking. This is a really disgusting place to stay, the shared kitchen was not in good shape, and I would highly recommend looking elsewhere if you're looking for a place to stay in Boston. 0/10 - would never stay here again even if someone paid me to... please, consider elsewhere.
Scary hallway. These old, dirty rugs were placed all throughout the entire building.
The bathroom where I reluctantly showered, but wore flip flops because it seemed disgusting.
The room itself. The floors were stained & almost crusty, and it was extremely hot. Incredibly uncomfortable.

The best thing I can say is that the sheets were clean, safe, and convenient to my west Boston destination. However, it seems as though the property was allergic to vacuum cleaners. Dust accumulation around the organ in the hallway took years to build up. The carpet in my room needed cleaning. No, let's go with replacement. It was my first time staying at an inn (rooming house) with a shared bathroom. The rooming house (inn) was one step above the Bates Motel... If you are not used to washing your ass, yout a will feel right at home. I was trying to save some money and time traveling back and back to my destination. After this stay, the light at the Motel 6 looks good. I left a day early and am willing to donate my last night's fees to cleaning. I am a well-traveled professional who typically stays at 4-star hotels. The Internet pictures and reviews were OK, plus I was traveling by myself. I took for granted that the place would be cleaned. This could be a very quaint place. But first, some elbow grease from experienced cleaners and restoration experts is needed to fumigate the place. The staff was courteous but oblivious to hotel cleaning process.
