Beacon Inn 1750

The Hotel itself is quaint and clean, set up in an old style, Private type home setting, with very large rooms, clean, and within walking distance (blocks away) from restaurants and an actual supermarket in case one doesn't want to spend loads of money to eat every day/night. But count on NONE of the usual front desk service one may be accustomed to. My stay was for 3 full nights, and it took 15 minutes of standing in the reception area "puzzled" before a person actually appeared and checked me in when I first arrived. And I never saw that person (or any front desk/reception person) ever again during my stay. There was no one available to clean the room each day if I wanted it (not even to remove daily trash), nor was there anyone available to replace towels daily. Fortunately the room had enough for my short stay. was very strange. Quaint, but strange. If thats not an issue for you, this is your Hotel.

Overall we loved our stay, and will definitely stay again next time that we come to Boston! My only complaint is that the correct remote for our TV was missing, so we were not able to use the TV. The staff was very friendly and helpful, but were not able to find the remote until a couple of days later when we were checking out. (I’m not sure where it was, perhaps in another person’s room.) I normally would not care, but it’s February and very cold out. We were looking forward to coming back to our warm hotel room to just relax and watch a little tv, and we were not able to.

The Beacon inn is a cool old brownstone house. Very comfortable and I could walk to lunch and dinner. I made the mistake of renting a car at the airport. The T Train stop is just outside the front door. I would stay here again.

Very convenient when visiting our family in the Boston area. Right on the T. Clean and fun to stay in such an historic building.

This was the worst experience I've ever had. The B&B is in bad condition. I checked in after hours and the key to the building and my room was in a box that anyone passing by had access to! The front door knob was loose. Then next morning, I awoke to a staff member screaming at the top of his lungs! I was very unnerved to say the least. I communicated my distress and my concerns but he was still on site the next day. The breakfast was a joke! A Keurig machine that you had to fill with water yourself! It included a few muffins and croissants and that was about it. RENTERS BEWARE!

I submitted two questions (about whether breakfast was supplied, and whether there were phones in the room) on the Beacon Inn website, two days before I was due to fly to the US. I've just discovered that I did receive a reply; unfortunately, it was sent when I was already at the gate at Heathrow. I couldn't get into my inbox at all while I was in the US, because my very simple mobile phone didn't work there, and so I couldn't receive the passcodes that Yahoo now sends me whenever I try to log in anywhere except on my home Mac.

Delicious morning muffins. Late night snacks. Clean unique rooms. Quiet location. 60 second walk to a train stop. Restaurants and shops a plenty. Happy customer.

This hotel should be avoided. It was dirty, had signs of previous un-repaired water damage on the walls, had holes in the wood floor and in the ceiling. We found signs of what appeared to be mouse droppings.

The location is great (close to BC). Upon late arrival we found the duvet and the pillows did not have covers. Not so hygienic.
