The Longwood Inn - Brookline

This place looked like a B&B, with Victoriana in the middle of a Brookline neighborhood. Very pretty structures close to Boston hospitals and Coolidge Corner neighborhood. I wanted to like it but is was truly odd. First, looked like B&B but NO breakfast, no food (unless you stock it yourself) at all except the ground floor vending. There were warning […] signs posted throughout the place, to wit: don't do this, don't do that and a seriously unwelcoming feel. More like a pretty boarding house than Inn. Public transit was a healthy distance to the #66 bus or T. I generally stay at B&B so I wasn't expecting a hotel but I wouldn't recommend this spot. További részletek

The Longwood Inn met my expectations since I had read prior reviews. Looks newly renovated. No one there to greet me, had to carry suitcase up 3 flights of stairs. So if you want service this is not the location. Also, do miss not having breakfast but you can prepare your own. My room was cold and took two nights to get an extra blanket. Close to the […] T so easy to access even without a car. I would definitely use again. További részletek

Excellent place , convenient to hospitals in boston ma.

I spent a night at the Longwood and was generally very happy with the accommodations. The exterior is gorgeous (English country house design) and the location is quite good. It's close to two different branches of the MBTA Green Line and also easy walking distance to Coolidge Corners. There is free on-site parking, free WiFi, and even a living room […] and kitchen where you can cook if you want to. There's a lovely deck outside in the back which must be very nice when its not winter. I arrived at 5:30 in the evening and found the office closed. No problem, they had left an envelope with my name on it that contained a room key (yes, they still use real keys) on a table in the entryway. My room (number 35) was on the third floor and it was a walkup. It was a small room (one queen size bed) but it met my needs very well. It was clean, tastefully decorated and generally delightful. Except .... In the morning I got up and was going to take a shower. I went into the bathroom and started the water. There was very little water pressure... so much so that the water fell directly from shower head straight down. It was warm, but not hot and it took a long time to get warm (probably because the room was on the third floor). It was sort of like washing yourself in a sink. There really wasn't a practical way to wash my hair there. Good thing too, because the room had no hair dryer. I realize it's an old building, but this really was a deal breaker for me. Other than the shower, the room was really nice. My guess is that if you are not on the top floor you while probably have a much better experience. További részletek

Large room with large clean bathroom. Helpful staff and great location. Highly recommended.

A great place to stay, near to the T, resturants, stores and has that homey feeling. We didn't actuall meet any of the staff as we got in after 5 and only stayed one night so that's why I rated the service a 3. Otherwise it was a great place to stay!

Easy access to Boston via a $2 train ride (19 mins). from Coodidge corner which is only a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Our room was a bit cramped and the bed sloped a bit but staff were very friendly and helpful. A good compromise of cost and location, but not the easiest place to find from Logan airport at night if it's your first time in town.

Hotel was very quiet, even though located directly on main road. Only 2 blocks from the nearest "T" station into Boston (about a 15-20 minute ride). Our room (on the top floor) was comfortable, but stairs from 2nd floor to our floor were steep and narrow - if you have mobility problems ask for room on ground or first floor! Would have no hesitation […] in staying here again! További részletek

The hotel was convenient to downtown Boston and attractions. The T was only two blocks away. It was in a nice neighborhood that felt very safe and was close to nice restaurants, within walking distance to Coolide Corner. The room was clean and adequate. Small, but just fine for our short stay. The only issue was the noisy air conditioner and it would […] have been nice to have a ceiling fan in the room to enhance air circulation, since the window was small. További részletek

Lovely hotel, near Fenway and art museums. Great neighborbood. We did not feel welcome. First, check in clerk showed zero enthusiasm. No smile, no inquiry as to how she could be helpful, no showing us around. Second, there is a kitchen that guests may use, as long as they "clean up after themselves". Very nice, but must we make our own coffee in the […] morning? The hotel staff could not put a pot on for the guests? That sent me the signal that this hotel wants the guests up and out in the morning. If there were coffee, my husband and I would have lingered in the lobby, reading, in the beautiful leather chairs. But instead we had to hightail it out of there to get our coffee. További részletek

This was an excellent, homey-feeling place with very friendly staff. Definitely a place to return to. My only criticism is the mattress, which seemed like a refugee from the Eisenhower administration.

Good place! Great access to the "T". No computer printer for guests to print boarding passes. Would be nice if they made coffee in the am, but 5-10 min walk to plenty of restaurant options. Overall nice place!

Well located, comfortable and clean I would definitely recommend The Longwood Inn. Close to the Riverside T and Fenway the staff were friendly and helpful, everything was clean and worked. Tip - if you are arriving into South Station my cab cost approx $22 door-to-door. Well worth it if you have luggage. Otherwise, buy a Charlie card for the T from […] any station. Much easier and more convenient than paying for each journey. További részletek

We stayed two nights at the Longwood Inn and were completely satisfied with our lodging experience. Very lovely, great atmosphere, close to T-line and browsing in Brookline.

For those who want to feel at home but maintain their privacy, this hotel is perfect. It is a cross between a country bed and breakfast and an urban hotel. You have access to a full (and I mean FULL) kitchen 24/7. the rooms are like those in fine country inns, but as equipped as any chain motel. The wifi is free, an extra few chain hotels offer. The […] neighborhood is upscale and you are surrounded by shops and fine restaurants and very close to all transportation. További részletek

Everything was great! Would def recommend to my friends and stay here again!

the longwood inn is in a perfect location in brookline....it's just a 5-8 minute walk to coolidge corner where there is a plethora of restaurants, etc....we at zaftig's and had a delicious meal! the inn itself is beautifully decorated in the victorian period to complement the orginal home. although breakfast isn't included, there is a fully equipped […] kitchen where one can prepare a meal. the evening we were there, a family was making potstickers from scratch. i wish we had time to watch and learn how to make them! the inn has a front and back porch to watch the world go by. also,there is free parking in back of the inn near the back entrance. the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom and bedroom were exceptionally clean! we would most definitely return to the longwood inn!

Its not 5 stars Sheraton, but you also not paying for one. The place is very convenient, clean and quiet. Location is very pleasant, and whithin convenient reach with public transportation to everywhere. For those who want to save a buck, and dont care to brew their own coffee in the morning, its definitely a great deal. Yossi

Nice place to stay, beautiful old victorian mansion. Room is a little small but for the money you can't do better in Boston.

The Inn is perfectly located for the Longwood Medical area. I stayed here for a week while attending a course at the Conference Center at Harvard Medical School. The Inn is in a quiet, leafy neighbourhood. Nearby there are many nice restaurants and a Trader Joe's grocery store. (The hotel has a large communal kitchen which is really handy). A short […] walk to the T, so its a pretty good base, even though its a little out of the centre of the city. The room and the common areas were well maintained and clean. The front desk staff are next to invisible and somewhat impersonal. There is only someone in the office from 9-5, with someone on call for emergencies outside these hours, but guests arriving after 5 just pick up their key in an envelope near the entrance. I've never seem a hotel with such minimal service. But they do clean the room each day, and there is a laundry machine onsite. Overall, I'd easily recommend this hotel. További részletek

Walking distance to Harvard Medical School and surrounding areas. Surprisingly nice, clean, well-maintained converted old home.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Very quiet neighborhood.

Charming Inn in Brookline, very reasonably priced. Walking distance to many restaurants, medical area, public transportation. Kitchen available for cooking own meals if desired. Great value for price. Would definately stay again!

I stayed at Longwood Inn one night in May. The facility and grounds were lovely. I was given a superior room with two queen beds and it was both spacious and charming. Perfect location.

Very easy to get to and to Coolidge Corner (for dinner or drinks). Beautiful street and neighborhood. Clean, comfortable with friendly staff.

This converted mansion is in a great neighborhood - convenient to many hospitals and only a few blocks away from wonderful restaurants. Free parking in the back. My only surprise was that there was no one in the office after 5 pm when I arrived and the doors to the Inn were unlocked, and no one in the office when I departed the next day at 7 am. Recommended […] additions: hair dryers in the room and coffee/tea available for guests. Otherwise - a delightful place to stay! További részletek

The Inn was nice and we felt safe there. The only thing I was disappointed in was the size of the room. I paid the same price as my friends who both had much larger rooms.

We absolutely loved the Longwood Inn. The pictures do not do it justice. It was close to everything and set in a darling neighborhood. We would definitely stay there again.

My room and bath were cleanest I have ever experienced in traveling. I loved the free WiFi service, comfort of the room, the neighborhood was great..just down the street from Coolidge Corner. I would definitely stay here again.

I was absolutely in love with the Longwood inn. It is stunning and elegant. There are some issues people need to consider before they stay there. First, the staff is really not there when they should be. I NEVER saw the staff until I left. They were not there at 8am or 7pm. Secondly, the internet is poor: I couldn't get it to work upstairs. Rooms could […] use black out curtains. Beds are quite hard. On the positive, if you like old buildings, stay here!! There really aren't normal hotel or B&B services but the rooms are lovely. Mine was small but comfortable, bathrooms are very small but well arranged and very nicely updated. The rooms are very inexpensive and worth the cost. The whole inn is quite an experience, and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a hotel that provides basic accommodation. További részletek

I could not have asked for a better hotel. Longwood Inn is very cute, quaint, and personal. It is an old house converted to an inn. All of the hotel staff were super friendly and very accommodating. My room was very nice, well decorated, and modern. I used public transportation, but did notice that they have free parking--a definite plus in the city. […] They also have free wireless. This hotel should definitely be rated higher than two stars. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely stay there again whenever visiting Boston. További részletek

The Inn was a very comfortable "home away from home" while in Boston. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful for first-time Boston visitors. They advised us to use a taxi service, rather than attempting to find our own way around - this turned out to be invaluable to us. We experienced health concerns during our trip. Rhonda was very caring […] and compassionate, even wanting confirmation that we had returned home safely. További részletek

Longwood is a large, old home converted to a comfortable inn. Though the rooms are small, ours was bright and appeared to be freshly decorated. The living and dining rooms form a spacious lounge area with comfortable seating and a large dining table. The kitchen is well equipped and available for guests' use in storing items in the refrigerator and […] cooking if desired. The inn is located very near a number of restaurants and in a nice residential area. További részletek

Excellent, clean, and friendly place to stay within walking distance of the medical school and children's hospital. Also, very easy to get from airport via bus + train.

The hotel was very nice and well kept, extremely clean from what i could tell. Overall I had a pleasant stay and was happy with my choice, but I do have one complaint. The woman who worked in the office was extremely rude and did not act very professional. I did not even get a hello when we walked in, just a "What is your last name." For paying a decent […] dollar to stay ain your hotel when I could have stayed in other places, I think a little hospitality is in order. Not a big fan of rude people who treat customers/guests like they are a problem when you work in the hospitality field. További részletek
