463 Beacon Street Guest House

For the money, the room was fine. Large room with 2 twin beds suited our purpose. Microwave, refrig, TV. Quiet, and good location to catch the subway. They let us split cost on two credit cards. After problems on the first day, it turned out to be a good place to stay.

It was a "garden level" room - I assumed this meant no stairs...wrong. It's actually basement level, so we had to maneuver our bags down some narrow stairs. We were going to eat breakfast in the room, so we asked if there were bowls, cups, etc. and were told yes, but there weren't. Also no additional rolls of toilet paper and the one that was there was almost empty. Also couldn't get the refrig to turn on (that turned out to be user error), but since there's no one on staff after 2:00, we had to wait until the next day to get problems fixed. Also heater pipes made a loud clicking noise in the middle of the night! Good news is that it was all remedied the second day (except the pipes). Beds were adequate, pillows flat, small bathroom but shower was good.
