For the price point and location of this inn I would say it is worth it. You can hear a lot of sounds through the walls and locks could be updated for safety. Overall, this is a decent option for travelers on a budget.

I was going to walk to the New Balance Track, and asked the front desk man for directions. Rather than give me directions, he walked with me the mile to the track and pointed out good Korean restaurants and breakfast places along the walk. He was superbly kind and helpful (as I’m not great with directions).

Pros: Lots of parking in the back, 8 minute walk from the T station, cheapest hotel we could find in the city of Boston, clean sheets/toilets/shower. Cons: Everything else. Mattress was curved, room was boiling with no air conditioning except a fan provided, floors and walls were cracked, only thing provided was half a roll of toilet paper and a bar of soap. No coffee, shampoo etc.

The inn was a bit run down, but we felt safe and were pleased with the affordability. The beds were comfortable and the area was quiet.
(The beds were made when we arrived.) The carpet was pretty gross. Grafitu on the wall art. Other than these things, the room was safe, comfortable, and quiet.

Pros: great parking on-site, cheapest place to stay available Cons: I'm not a picky traveler, but even the basic expectations were not met. Staff was never present at the desk. Paint was peeling off the walls. Room cleanliness was poor. Mattress was uncomfortable. Shared bathrooms had no soaps/toiletries and could use more cleaning and updating.
