The Farrington Inn

The Farrington Inn is described as a hotel alternative for business or leisure travelers to the Boston, Massachusetts area. A guest house in a lovely neighborhood, it places guests less than six miles from Logan International Airport and is a short walk from the Packards Corner T metro stop. Baseball fans will love that it is less than two miles from Fenway Park, but it is that same distance from Boston University, Harvard and MIT, as well.

Noted as a blend of hostel and hotel, this unique inn offers travelers a private room along with an array of amenities that includes pet-friendly policies, free Wi-Fi, business services, luggage storage options. All travelers are provided with kitchen access in order to save on pricier takeout and restaurant meals, and those booking for five days or more have rooms with kitchenettes, instead. There is a friendly lobby area and free parking behind the inn.

The rooms are all private and nicely furnished with plenty of storage and seating. They range from singles to four-person rooms. All will have a shared bath, and include entertainment systems, cable TV, toiletries, climate controls, and unlimited towels. Most rooms have hair dryers and most also have appealing views of the neighborhood.

When budget-friendly travel is a must, but a good location is also important, the Farrington Inn in Boston is a great choice. With home-like comforts, a quiet setting and a location minutes from everything, it is a great find for those concerned with cost and quality.
