“The Farrington Inn appeals most to unpretentious travelers seeking an affordable Boston base; its older buildings house simple rooms near walkable restaurants and train lines. Though some find its shared bathrooms and vintage feel unconventional, the staff earn consistent praise for friendliness. For a budget-conscious, no-frills stay, the Farrington Inn presents a viable option.”
