Hotel is over-priced for the small room I had. While it was clean, there were no services available (breakfast, coffee, ice, water, turndown service) and staff were minimally friendly.

Located in a great neighborhood area. Great atmosphere, conveniently located near public transportation.

Hotel was going to put us in a basement room with a cot until we pushed to get a double -- we had 4 people. Hotel is antiquated with an inattentive staff. Daytime office person couldn't give us directions. It's really not a B&B. For the money, you should get at least continental breakfast. Instead, you get to use a kitchen, but have to label your food. Night manager, who often smoked in the parking lot and never smiled, gave me the willies.

Went to see Paul McCartney at Fenway- Very easy check in and very helpful staff- East ride on the T- train to and from Fenway-

Very neat old wonky inn with nice rooms. Laundry, kitchen, fridge and freezer available. Very near T (metro train) line to Fenway and downtown Boston. Terrific staff not only made us feel welcome, but were especially accommodating, allowing our very dirty son (we had just picked up from Boy Scout Camp) to shower even though we were early for check in. Nice quiet neighborhood.

when we got there our room was not cleaned yet, so we left and came back later. The staff was not very friendly. The air conditioner turned on and off all night and so did the bedside light-couldnt figure that one out.The room was beautiful and so was the hotel.

The place is charming. Beautiful neighborhood. Close and conducive to riding the "T" (subway), which we did, all over Boston. Also close and convenient to a plethora of restaurants at Coolidge Corner. I enjoyed walking through the neighborhoods of Brookline. I recommend the Longwood Inn heartily, and intend to stay there again, if I have an opportunity to do so.

Longwood Inn is on average 2-3 blocks away from the Longwood Med. Center (Harvard Med School) which is very convenient for families of patients or people visiting the academic side of the institutions. There is no room service and the hotel staff leaves by 5pm every day. That said, there is a full service kitchen on the 1st floor for making your own meals. The Inn is right inside Coolidge Corner, so dining out is also an option, though there are only a handfull of places to eat there. The Inn is very close to 2 green lines making traveling around Boston very convenient. The Inn and rooms are clean. Very few amenities and the hotel cleaning staff is a little unprofessional (if they saw you in the hall way, they'd ask you to bring them your used towels to save them the time of getting them themselves). This is not an upscale Inn that feels like a hotel, it feels more like you are staying with your grandparents in their guest room. The fact that it's so close to everything and that it is clean, makes up for it if you are in Longwood on business or for family health issues.

Excellent Value for the Price and Convenience. I will stay there any time I am visiting My Son or Boston in General Dr. Hanna

The Longwood Inn is very well located for visits to the hospitals and medical school and the small colleges nearby. It provides extremely convenient access to the Green Line of the MTA, and is also a decent walk to the Museum of Fine Arts. The community kitchen is a nice idea, but the capacity is so small that one small family eating breakfast means that you must hang out and wait to use it. The room was comfortable and plainly furnished. There was fairly little floor space, though adequate closet and dresser space. In all, the accommodations were clean and relatively comfortable, but did not offer much else beyond a great location.

I knew this would not be a luxury accommodation but the mattress was so bad sleeping was almost immpossible. Don't stay here if you value sleeping.

Chasrming Old Mansion

this was a great place to stay and I have told everyone I know about it. The decor was right up my alley --I love old buildings and I'd love to have this place in Colo. the Beds were comfy and being able to use a kitchen was Great for us--Plus the fact it was 3 doors down from were our son lives so it worked Great for us. All the employee where very Friendly and Helpful-- The parking lot was a great thing too.

i chose this hotel based on location which was very convenient for me, price was good, room was clean and well appointed but the second night it was cold and no ability to increase the temperature (despite calling the manager) and i was woken at 8 with construction on the roof

Thought it was an awesome place to stay. This is not a new place by any means, but this is why I choose it. Staff is supper nice. Def staying there whenever I get back to Boston.

I stayed in this hotel last year, too. So I knew how lovely it is. I love the furniture. Great taste. It is very quiet. It is different from other big name hotels. More homey. But there is no place to eat from the nearest train station to the hotel, so I always bring something to eat and drink, unless you drive. I will definitely go back there when I visit Boston next time. Sorry i am Japanese and my writing is not great. But the hotel is great.

The Inn is beautiful old building that has been transformed into a hotel, while keeping its charm. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing atmosphere.

The one minor problem I had on arrival--the TV needed some tweaking, etc.--was taken care of promptly by one of the managers, John, who is low key, efficient, and representative of everything positive about the Inn. The hotel's atmosphere is best described as low key--quiet, unobtrusive, cordial. The neighborhood is urban Victorian with ample trees, yards and gardens, a couple of parks. Its convenience needs underscoring. Since I don't mind walking (and don't require assistance), the short distance to the Longwood medical area was a plus, as was the 3-4 block walk to Coolidge Corners (a classic Boston commercial neighborhood, including everything from an impressive Trader Joe's to a movie theater to bookstores, shops and restaurants, and more).

Great location because it is within walking distance to my daughter's apartment in Brookline. Rooms are very small and next time I would get a room with two beds because I understand the rooms are larger. You had to walk sideways to get around. Also there was a leak from the room upstairs and we had to put the trash can under it! The price was high but reasonable because of the closeness to Boston and its attractions.

Wonderful Hotel easy access to Green Line-D and Longwood Hospital District. Very pleasant staff and nice room. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

We stayed at The Longwood Inn for over a week and it was wonderful. It is located within easy walking distance of the subway stop, and in a very safe neighborhood. A great value for the money!

Quaint and charming. We were quite satisfied with the room and the value. Only negative was a shower that was quite harsh, with no way to adjust. Otherwise everything was to our liking. Would stay there again.

My whole trip was for the "Fenway Park" experience and this place was about 1.5 miles from there. i could walk everywhere. Shared kitchen was awesome. Room was quaint. Flat screen tv in room, nice courtyard to drink coffee in the morning. Everyone was nice!

The hotel is well kept, parking is free, the room is clean, and the location is close to restaurants, major hospitals, and the park.

I picked The Longwood Inn because of the Free Parking and it was about a mile away from Fenway Park. I will give the staff high marks, they were very helpfull with directions, plus they printed out a map of Boston & gave us helpfull directions.

The location of this hotel is perfect for Fenway within a 5 minute walk of the 'T' green line. The walls are pretty thin so noise from the corridoor and other rooms, as well as the plumbing was very noticable. If you are looking for a convenient place to lay your head after a game, this could be the place for you. If you are looking for creature comforts, breakfast or a quiet room, you may want to look elsewhere.

The Longwood Inn was friendly, olds fashioned and affordable. The shared kitchen is a wonderful convenience

Slightly off the beaten track but close to everything in Brookline. The only drawback is the limited office hours, so there's not always someone there in the building, but the room was comfortable, and everything you need is there.

Beautiful, old home in a picturesque, quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to the T puts Fenway, Boston Common, and Government Center/North End within a convenient, cheap train ride with Cambridge just across the Charles River by car. Room was spacious and nicely furnished, though the mattress seemed a bit soft and worn leaving stiff backs for sightseeing the following day.

Beautiful safe residential area, five-ten minute walk to restaurants, pharmacy and food market. Off street, no charge parking was a plus. It was nice to have a kitchen to use. We would definitely stay again if we're in the area.

The Longwood Inn struck me as a cross between a Bed & Breakfast and a standard hotel. It's tucked away in lovely Brookline neighborhood. The room was comfortable, the ambience delightful, the management helpful. I'd return there in a heartbeat.

Very clean, comfortable and convenient.

I stayed at the Longwood Inn when I was apartment hunting. I arrived after office hours so there was no one to check me in. However my keys were in an envelope on the table. The room was very well kept. Staff was very courteous and helpful during my stay. Lobby area included TV and couches with access to a computer/internet so I could print out information. Overall I would definitely recommend the Longwood Inn.

Longwood Inn is nice if you want to avoid paying for a large, name-brand hotel. Not having to pay for parking while in Boston was great since there was parking behind the Inn and the subway was within walking distance. It was a short trip to and from Fenway Park, so any one going to a Red Sox game should consider Longwood. My only issue is the typical gripes with any cheaper hotel: the mattress was way too hard and the pillows were way too soft.

This place easily met all of my needs. It was somewhere between hostel and hotel, but exceedingly quaint and comfortable. The Inn itself was cute and cozy, but don't expect a hair dryer in your room or coffee service in the morning. If you like to live simply, and prefer your hotel room to be a good place to sleep then the Longwood in is fabulous. They have nice televisions with full cable and a comfortable bed. It's more like staying at a friends home then a full service hotel. I didn't expect more, and I didn't need more. I will absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful location! best deal in Boston!

Not your average hotel, this is closer to a bed & breakfast.. Staff was helpful and courtious, room was large , comfy & clean.
