Suites At 143 Arlington Street

Location was brilliant - 10 min walk to Boston Common, Back Bay train station, lots of restaurants/bars etc

Room & shared bathroom need to be cleaner but overall not too bad.

I loved the location. The bed was very comfortable as well.

The shared bathrooms are a tad weird - I knew about them before booking but actually experiencing it was different. There was also no mirrors in the rooms at all?... A mirror at Walmart is $10 that they could supply for rooms. and I do think the unit needs to be updated.

Staff were very responsive and helpful. Location is really good. The bed was comfortable and clean. Sufficient towels provided.

The pictures of the room do not match up to the actual state of the room. Doesn’t seem to be properly maintained. There is a gap by the window which is covered by ducktape, mould on window, cold air continuously came in through the gap. The picture of the bathroom on booking also does not match up to the actual shared bathroom on the second floor which guests use.

The room was cleaned before arrival. The bedding was changed and cleaned. The location is good and the property representative provided detailed information how to reach the property.

The property was very noisy and it is not only about the fact that it is located near a busy street. I was woken up several times by people who were partying in their rooms—no sound isolation in the rooms whatsoever. The shower was not clean, there was hair everywhere, covering the walls of the shower room. The next day the har stuck on the walls of the shower was still there. The trash cans for used toiletries/toilet paper were not cleaned for several days, there were used toilet paper on the floor, that was only removed after the second day.

The offer did not include breakfast

There was leak of water from the air con. It wasnt bad, but i expected it to be sorted out during my stay, but it wasn't and hence i ended putting a towel to stop the leak and mop the floor using a towel.

What breakfast ? No breakfast was served as far as I know. The location was convenient. It wa the best thing about the property.

The room was dusty. The base boards have not been cleaned in some time. The amount of towels were inadequate for the length of our stay. The property is showing serious signs of wear and tear. I believe whoever did the renovation work was unskilled: wall paper hangers and tile workers did poor jobs.

The accommodation at 143 Arlington Street is a three-storey building divided into small rooms. There is a shared bathroom on most of the floors, and a shared kitchen on the ground floor. The rooms are clean, small, comfortable enough, but not luxurious. My room had a free-standing AC/heating unit that was quite loud, but the steady white noise actually helped me sleep. The room is great value for money, with an emphasis on value, perfect if you just need a place to sleep and you intend to spend most of the day exploring Boston.

There was no lock on the door of the bathroom next to the kitchen. This would be a simple repair, and I think the landlords could quickly fix that.
