About

The Farrington Inn is a small guest house just west of downtown in the student part of Boston near Harvard, Boston University and Boston College. We are located on the Boston Subway(Metro), 2 miles from Fenway Park and 4 miles from the downtown area.

Perfect for the younger traveler, we are steps away from fun bars, restaurants and interesting local shops.

Our rooms are basic, clean and affordable. We pride ourselves on offering our guests an alternative to the expensive hotels downtown that often reach prices in excess of $500.
Our rooms are generally furnished with double beds a small dresser and a small desk. We have parking onsite in our lot behind our building and is generally $10 per day. We provide professionally cleaned sheets and towels in the room as well soap, shampoo, hair dryers and irons at the desk per request. Guest staying 5+days will generally be given a room with a kitchenette or at-least kitchen access as take out food can be a bit pricey.

The bathrooms are in need of repair, and the space needs an update carpets were stained and beyond their life span. However, it was in a location that was convenient for my needs and provided a decent place to sleep.
