Had more of a 'hostel' vibe than a hotel (e.g., we had a shared bathroom, although there were several available at any given time). bed was a bit soft. Location was terrific (9 minute walk from the T). We got one of the limited onsite parking spots (reasonably priced at $10/day), but I could see this being an issue. If you have issues with mobility, it might pose a problem since there is no elevator.

The building was very very old with no renovation. For example. The door nob of the bathroom was broken, and the blinder in the room was broken. Only one shower towel was given to a person and one person was not given first. The service never be worse.

Cleanliness not a huge priority
Both beds were extremely uncomfortable and caused me a lot of pain making it very hard to sleep. The kitchen was messy with leftover food sitting out the entire time. Nothing there was ever cleaned.
In the bathroom there was consistently water all over the place which suggests it was not cleaned either during my stay.
There were tons of dust under the beds in my room. When checking out I asked the receptionist how often the rooms were cleaned. He said before any guest arrives. I told him about the dust and he fluffed me off by telling me that that can be overlooked.
Not worth the low price or proximity to transit.

This place responded to my reservation emergency
This place was very good for the emergency reservation, they are keeping people from disaster. The facilities, however, are very substandard, even given the price

Scary
Door wasn’t properly aligned with doorway so of lights were on inside the room, everyone outside the room could see inside my room. The bathroom was a shared space with no curtain and a door to a secret room, I always pretended the door wasn’t there to calm my fears that someone was hiding inside while I was in the bathroom shared with different strangers each day. Had to leave early because it was so scary and dusty, stayed with a friend that lived way further from the location we were visiting because a more expensive uber was better than staying another night there.

Sorry - I didn’t like it
I didn’t read the reviews when I booked the Farrington . Everything else was so expensive! The woman a the front desk was nice , and offered us a better room for an extra $20 a night - and this room would have a private bathroom . So we said yes and then she took us to the separate apartment building . The building is definitely run down and creepy. What we did get was an entire apartment. It was old but clean . But still kinda more creepy than good . Clean sheets . Also one must pick up Towels and toilet paper from the reception area . It was still an expensive room - I thought - for what it was . I would not stay here again . It was basic and okay but I was actually not thrilled to be there at all .

I was completely satisfied with what I paid for. Perfect for ovation and cost to explore the city. Not glamorous , but just fine for me. And they were incredibly nice, easy to deal with and bent over backwards to work with me on my dates and travel schedule due to work issues. I have zero complaints.

Great room for the price
This place was awesome! The suite I stayed in was huge, and I couldn't believe how nice the kitchen was, and there was even a washer and a dryer. The other occupants were quiet, and respectful of privacy and shared spaces. The price was great, and it was amazing to be able to stay within walking distance of so many great music venues and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Ugh
Looks like the management either do not care or do not know how to run business, care about the place and respect their guests. All needs to be properly clean, refurbish and give care. It's such a missed opportunity for great inn...

Place seemed very sketchy and did not look like a very safe environment. The place also looked very broken down and just was not good for the price.
