2 Stars Hotels in Massachusetts, United States

The location of this hostel is amazing! I stayed there for two nights in a six bed female dorm. The sheets were fresh and the hostel clean. Looking at some reviews here please keep something in mind: This is a hostel with a lot of people going in and out. Boston is an expensive city and you can’t find hotels in that location for less that $300-400 a night during busy seasons. So while this hostel might seem expensive at first, it is relatively cheap in comparison to hotels. Also consider the taxes. My bed was $69 but after tax, membership and all, I came close to a $100. Also, you’ll be sharing a room. There will be people coming in and out….what else would you expect? Earplugs and eyeshades go a long way. People come to Boston for different reasons, so they won’t be on the same schedule as you! However I thought everyone did great sticking to the quite times from 11-7. The mornings can get busy using the bathrooms, so plan accordingly. I thought it was a really cool place where you could work to many sights! I am glad I stayed there and saved myself from getting expensive hotels. Instead I used the saved money to explore the city’s sights, great coffees and delicious restaurants! Great stay!

I stayed in female dormitory. Overall I love it. It was clean & just what I needed, a safe place to sleep. They only opened a few weeks ago & are working through some kinks but they are very accommodating. Upon check in- they do ask for a selfie picture on their iPad for security reasons. No one is allowed in without a reservation. My dormitory had pods & bunks. I stayed on a lower bunk. There is storage for luggage under each pod/bunk. Inside your sleeping area, you have controls for a fan, light, & bed incline (my incline didn’t work but I was too tired to care). You have an outlet with USB port to charge devices. There is also a shelf & wall net organizer for your things. Every bed had an adjustable privacy blind, pillow, mattress sheet & blanket. On my floor, there were 4 bathrooms with showers. They provide towels. The 7th floor lounge is still under construction but there is a small reception area in the lobby & that’s where I sat to work on a few things & eat. The location is great; Near the north station. I walked to Boston Common without any issues. My suggestion would be to issue guests common courtesy expectations such as: Flush the toilet if the sensor doesn’t do it for you (or instal urinals for men) Leave shower/bathroom clean for next guest. If you must talk on the phone go out in the hall or to lobby - shared rooms are quiet areas. People are sleeping even during the day.

The room is quite decent, typical of an American inn, but the service is great. The front desk is as welcoming as a family member, and they even helped me buy NBA tickets. Especially the lady at the front desk talked about my dear, which is so heart-warming... Also The two men were a little lacking, but the overall situation was still good. The buffet breakfast options were enough to fill you up. Compared to the room rate, the complimentary breakfast was so delicious! The key is the underground laundry room, which is Virgo’s favorite. I will stay there again if I have the opportunity. It’s so convenient to have a self-driving car, and the parking fee of 20 US dollars a day is also acceptable😍😍

Want to share my experience at this hotel: I originally booked a room through Expedia. My reservation was for 3 days and I paid online . When we arrived at the hotel they couldn’t find my booking and I started to panic. The lady ay the front desk made me feel better when she told me not to worry that she was going to reach out the them and she was going to figure out what happened . She has to call couple of times as they hung up the phone . Finally she checked us in and gave us an upgrade due to All the confusion . The room was big and comfortable. All the employees were great to us . They went the extra mile to accommodate us . I appreciate all you guys did .

My friend and I made a quick one night stay in Boston on our way to Maine. We've been to Boston before and have seen many of the ”hot spots”. This stay was designed to be relaxing and be close to Boston Common and The Public Garden. Not only did it show up as the least expensive but perfect location for what we wanted. Valerie was pleasant at check in. We were happy with our room on the fifth floor that had two beds, two TVs, and our own bathroom. Rooms are basic but our needs were fully met. In the morning, Sean was very helpful in suggesting places to see on our travels on the way to and in Maine. Would definitely stay here again when in Boston.

The hotel room is very clean, the sheets and pillows are white and white; the breakfast is very rich, you can make waffles yourself, super blueberry flavor, original flavor, and cinnamon apples. The hotel is very cost-effective, I booked it in Ctrip, a very successful choice, I have the opportunity to choose this hotel. I don't know why I can't upload photos.

The location is not very convenient but they have a large outdoor parking lot. The room look tidy but old. There is window of the room facing the corridor which a dusky curtain that making the sound isolation and privacy not the best. The washroom is relatively small that the tower and sink cannot fit or place inside the washroom. Overall, I would only recommend for a quick rest.

I would say the only thing positive about this location is the rooms. They are super clean and updated. As well as the night time manager is super accommodating. As far as the other employees they could care less. Night time manager even charged me half the deposit because I frequent here. The elevator is beat up and dated. The carpets in some hallways haven't been deep cleaned since the 1800s. Mostly all the soda and snack machines steal your money. The pool is surprisingly decent. I have only ever taken a swim once. The best thing is they allow animals for free. My little guy loves the night manager because he gives him treats constantly. This hotel has some super potential. Because you can hop on 93 and be in Boston with no traffic in 15 mins. Right next to market basket and some shopping/restaurants. If they renovated. Cleaned up and hired some more staff that care like the night shift manager, this place would be sold out every day without a doubt. Definitely room for improvement no doubt about that. But it is well worth the price. The rooms and beds are EXTREMELY nice. Just a drive away from Boston. Highly recommend solely off the rooms and beds in the room!

We booked a 5-night stay to be close to my mom for her surgery in Boston. The managers/owners were so friendly and caring—each day they asked how my mom was doing and asked to give her their best. They accommodated us when we needed to extend our stay. The room was very nice, and the bathroom was one of the cleanest we’ve seen. We will definitely book a room there again.

Stayed for a week at this location. Parking is plentiful and comes at no charge. The property could use a renovation as it's dated and showing the wear of the years. The floors in the room squeak/pop. The room was sufficient, clean, and comfortable. The television had plenty of channels including HBO 1 and 2. Breakfast was pretty good and always well stocked. I'd still stay again if I were in the area, to accumulate Hilton Honors points.

The Farrington Inn is a 1 star hotel. You knew that going in there. What were you expecting? I have stayed at the Farrington at least 20 times in the last 2 years. I find it quaint, cozy, with great atmosphere. My rooms and bathrooms have always been clean. So you don't like sharing a bathroom? Get over it and enjoy this little gem. It is my favorite hotel and I love staying here.

The hotel and room were nice. The hotel felt very new as if it had recently opened or was renovated. There was plenty of space inside the room and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was also nice and clean. We did have to call and ask for soap since there was none in our room upon arrival (which is odd during CoVid times) but soap was very quickly delivered to us. The hotel had a breakfast in the lobby and it was a pretty standard selection of breads, fruit, and yogurt. I was disappointed to see that there were not a lot of tongs and people were using this hands and some food was just left out in the open. People were not required to sanitize their hands or wear masks in the area where the food was. Our checkin experience was not great. We did arrive earlier than the check in time and the staff didn’t seem thrilled about it. They pretty much told us we could sit in the lobby and wait an hour or so before checkin started. We asked if there was anywhere in the area to go to walk/eat/shop and they told us there was a home goods and Starbucks nearby. They didn’t give us directions and we ended up googling them. We ended up going there to just wait it out until we could come back and check in. We were going into Boston that night for a show and it was easy enough to get in/out of Boston. It was a good place to stay for the night.

I stayed at the Oasis Guest House for a couple of nights in early July. I had booked a 1 person shared bathroom room but was upgraded to an ensuite room. I loved staying at the Oasis Guest House. There's something very comforting about seeing the same faces at the front desk every day. Being able to have a friendly chat with them about the neighborhood as you come home or head out. Staying in a place that blends into the neighborhood rather than seeking to dominate it. Boston is a very walkable city with great public transportation options and the Oasis Guest House is well situated to let you head out and explore the city. The property is centrally air conditioned and kept at a comfortable temperature. There was also a small fan in the room which I didn't need but was nice to have on hand. There was also a spare blanket in the dresser which I didn't need but was nice to have on hand. The room was not large but was perfectly comfortable and a very relaxing place to return to after a day of walking around the city. The bathroom was very clean. The shower space was a bit tight but worked well. I will definitely be returning to the Oasis Guest House on my next trip to Boston.

Though the customer service at the front desk was great, other things weren’t. When we arrived in our room, we immediately noticed gross stains on the lamp shades and walls. We had a lunchbox with a few snacks for our toddler and when we woke up found chewed holes from mice in the lunch box and multiple bags of food. The bathtub would fill during a shower and took about 20-30 minutes to empty afterwards. Half of the outlets in the room didn’t work. And Convenient for out of staters the breakfast area was closed. My fiancé and I agreed that it’s not worth saving money and from now on we are sticking with Marriott or Hilton!

Bunk beds, good location, first time staying in this kind of hotel, quite convenient, public bathroom, everyone keeps it clean, quality is still OK, greet each other when you meet. Right next to Boston Park, a few steps downstairs to the subway, a few stops to Harvard, Massachusetts, very convenient. A little walk to the city center, and then walk to Quincy Market. Will stay here next time

The room is very nice and the location is very convenient. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The hotel can also receive express delivery and there is a public laundry area, but you have to pay with coins to operate it.

I would say the only thing positive about this location is the rooms. They are super clean and updated. As well as the night time manager is super accommodating. As far as the other employees they could care less. Night time manager even charged me half the deposit because I frequent here. The elevator is beat up and dated.

This was a decent hotel for most to stay in for a few nights. I thought the lobby was nice, the front desk staff were nice, and the rooms were not bad. For the room: The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was nice with a decent shower, the desk had a nice set up, and the TV had some good channels on it. I did not check out the pool area due to lack of time but it looked decent as well. My favorite part though was he continental breakfast. I enjoy the large spread of breakfast items offered such as: Muffins, Bagels, Toast, Cereal, omelets, oatmeal, sausages, and the great waffle bar. All great stuff and both of the staff on that did a wonderful job. However, the not so good things regarding this hotel overall were: Pillows were too fluffy to get comfortable, yes there is a such thing. Pillows should be like boobs, not too soft, not too firm, but in the middle enough to review a good level of comfort, the tub in the showers not big enough, the TV did not provide enough channels, no liners in the trash cans and there was numerous stains on the carpet that looked like blood and some even looked like semen. Needless to say, I work my footwear every all the time while in the room. the pool room did looked like it did need an updated, the coffee station wasn't available at night time, and the items at the snack shelf and fridge/freezer were a bit overpriced. Overall, this was a good hotel but nothing high end. I am not sure if I will be provided the opportunity to stay here again. However, if I do, it would be nice to see the changes made. Thank you :)

The location of the hotel is near the subway station Wellington. It is a bit far from the city but it is also very convenient to take the subway. The hotel has a buffet breakfast, and the rooms are bigger and newer than those in New York. The experience is very good.

The hotel was decent. It is no 5 star hotel but our room was clean, everything worked as it should and the staff was super friendly. Check in and check out were quick and easy. We didn't spend much time in the hotel as we were in Salem most of our stay. The price was great for a place to sleep after a long day out touring. It's only about 20-30 mins from Salem which isn't bad if you want to save some money on a hotel. I know there are several bad reviews especially since most of the amenities listed are not actually available but if you just call ahead they are happy to let you know what is actually available while they work on getting certified to reopen a lot of what they offered after MA lifted all the restrictions.

The front desk service is good, breakfast is the best among several hotels in the United States, balanced and very full. Remember to get the food before 10 o'clock, outdated. The room is large, the fly in the ointment is that the room with disabled bathing equipment leaks more after the shower.

So impressed with my experience at this hotel. Room is so clean, there’s a free parking garage, and it’s calm and quiet. Will definitely love to stay here again. Rooms are large and the bathroom is more than sufficient. Highly recommend it!

The breakfast was very poor and nothing was delicious. There is a parking lot, there are two large beds in the room, can sleep 4 people, have a refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine. Hotel facilities are old, refrigerators and air conditioners are very loud, and people who sleep at night can't stand it.

This is a very nice place. The neighborhood is good and quiet. It is a 7-minute walk to the Central T subway station. That station is one block either way from MIT/Kendall or Harvard Square. It is otherwise 15 or 20 minutes walk to MIT, for example. The room was good, with air conditioner and fan. WiFi worked very well and they had a good desk. Hosts are very nice as well. There is no breakfast, but they do leave out fruit and there is a kitchen. Overall, a nice stay.
