It is in the historic neighborhood of Coolidge Corner and Brookline. Although it's not central to all the sightseeing locations or restaurants, it's in a peaceful neighborhood that's quiet and great to come back to after a long day. The best part about it was the free breakfast and coffee in the morning and the front porch that is spacious and a great place to rest after a long day. The staff is very friendly, attentive to concerns. There is free parking in the front as well!

Breakfast was good/okay and the cookies, snacks and drinks available all the time was a nice extra touch. I would return and would recommend. Note: Not much parking on site and at an added cost. ($20) Refrigerators available for room - just ask! Short 2 block walk to the Green T

It's easy to get to (right near Coolidge Corner), and easy to check in (even if you're after hours). They have breakfast for you every morning, and you can either eat in your room or eat at the big dining table downstairs. Downstairs is a great opportunity to chat with the other people that are staying at the BTI. I would recommend trying to get a room with your own bathroom to prevent the awkward walking through the halls in a towel moments with strangers. My favorite part about BTI was the freshly baked cookies and snacks they had every afternoon. It was like coming back to a home with all the great smells of food cooking and people happy to see you. The staff here was wonderful - so friendly, helpful and accommodating. They didn't mind that I hung out with my parents at the Inn and even ate some of their food. Another plus is the VHS library they have. They have tons of movies you can watch for free, and they have tons of guidebooks for those visiting and unfamiliar with Boston. Tell all your friends and family to stay at the Beech Tree Inn.

It was significantly cheaper than the Best Western by the medical school, and much, much nicer. What could be better? It is very nicely decorated and clean. The breakfast was an excellent continental breakfast that included home-baked sweets and plenty of healthy options. When returning in the evening, I often had tea and a freshly baked cookie or brownie. It's close to Coolidge Corner, which has plenty of places to eat out. It's near the T. The wifi was free and fast. I was delighted to stay at the Beech Tree Inn, and highly recommend it.

Location (5/5) quiet tree lined residential street only 5 minute walk from Stop and Shop. Lovely to get away from the hustle and bustle of Boston street traffic and yet have east access to everything. Checking In/Out: (4/5) good information through emails, no contact, instructions/key were in an individual envelope on the front door. Simple as long as you don't need to speak to anybody about any issues. I stayed on the 3rd floor. Stairs are narrow and have a rail on one side. Dropbox on the 2nd floor for checkout. If you need parking, request it at the time of booking as it is limited onsite. Continental breakfast: (3/5): available for two hours in the morning on the 2nd floor, including coffee, orange juice, little muffins, bagels, boiled eggs, yogurt, packaged oatmeal. The Captain's Room: (4/5) Spacious with 4 post queen bed, vintage wooden upholstered chair, large dresser with large mirror, two nightstands, overhead light with ceiling fan, closet with mini fridge, TV, free WiFi. It shares a bathroom down the hall with one other room. Bathroom is small but clean with good hot water pressure and a convenient sink-side table for your toiletries--free shampoo, conditioner, soap. Creaky wooden floors in room, carpet in hallway. Earplugs offered on nightstand in case you're a light sleeper. Cleaning service available daily though I only requested it for checkout. Thermostat in hallway, not in individual rooms. Fortunately it was a cool weekend, not too humid. Though I never saw any staff, the place is clean and hospitable and I would stay again, maybe next time in a room with an en-suite bathroom. Overall a pleasant stay and exactly what I expected!

If you are looking for a place that's cozy, close to everything, and where you can talk to someone who truly knows the area, look no further.

Clearly every effort has been and is being made to accommodate guests. The lady on the desk was professional and very patient with a tired traveler whose GPS had taken him and his traveling companion to the wrong address, the affiliate location, 1750 Beacon Street. This was in spite of a phone call informing us of the issue and an inquiry to confirm that we would arrive before 9:00 P.M. when the front desk closes for the night until 8:00 A.M. the next morning. The location was perfect for the early morning medical appointment which occasioned our stay. If you are a light sleeper and in Beacon Street facing rooms, the trolley passing from 6:00 A.M until Midnight might be a problem. However, this is a city location. Normal traffic noises are not an issue. Booking.com failed to inform us that our reservation was for Room #7 which has a private bathroom across the hall, not in the room. In fairness to the Beacon Inn, this is properly noted on the Beacon Inn website. The room was spotless neat and clean with extra blankets. Heating and ventilation was fine. The bathroom was equally clean and properly equipped. Bring your own hair dryer. Perhaps, we should concluded on our own that our room would be up three flights of stairs with rooms another flight above, no elevator, not easy for access for anyone with mobility issues. The price of $116 plus an additional $36 for parking was extremely reasonable for the location in Greater Boston. Parking was convenient and close with excellent, in person direction on how to access. Breakfast starts some time after 8:00 A.M. We left at 7:15 for an early medical appointment. Reading previous reviews, it is clear that significant efforts with notable success have been made to correct deficiencies.

Great location and friendly staff for the most part. However, the building itself was…read moredisappointing: it smelled moldy and musty and the rooms were very dusty. It did not feel clean and I doubt the bedding was fresh. Plus, we had to wait over 20 minutes to check in because the front desk person was on break, despite the fact that they called and asked when we would be arriving. We showed up at the estimated time and no one was there. I was not pleased that the keys were required to be store in an unlocked cabinet by the desk. Anyone could've taken the keys to my car. Our room was on the 4th floor--quite a hike up very narrow stairs. Breakfast was disappointing to say the least--not much available and kind of a dirty presentation. Our tv had 10 working channels!

Multiple issues at this property during our stay 9/14-9/16/2024…read more Parking is $33 a night. there is a six spot lot in the alley behind the property. Our first night there were no issues parking. The 2nd day (9/15) we left the property early in the day and went to a concert that evening at Fenway. I received a call during the day asking when we would be returning. I couldn't give an answer because I didn't know. Then during the concert I received a text advising me to park a block away from the property due to ongoing construction. this should not have had anything to do with the spots behind the property. The signs for no parking on the street in front of the building stated 9/17 and 9/18, had nothing to do with the dates that we were there. i requested a refund for having to park on the street a block away from the building. They will not give a refund. I responded to the text asking for a refund, they did not answer. I sent an email, received a call and explained again what happened. She had to call me back. The call back was that there would be no refund and stated that the agreement was that if I got a ticket for parking on the street they would cover it. I asked for the owner to call me. I then sent 2 more emails. One that shows an screenshot of the website to reserve parking after making a reservation if needed and another with a picture of the agreement that I signed reserving parking. These people are a thieves. Take your money to reserve parking but then don't guarantee you a spot. Additionally, a fire alarm was going off on the morning of 9/15. There was no direction from anyone as to where to go and what to do. The bathroom is not clean. The shower has soap scum and the bathroom floor was dirty. The shower liner was also yellowed with soap scum. There weren't enough towels for our stay. There is a table on our floor that stated to take towels from there if need but there were no towels. No one was available in the early morning hours to get towels from. The front door to the inn did not close all the way and was easily accessible to anyone after hours. The refrigerator in the room did not work properly and froze our drinks and food. There was dust and a dirty washcloth under the bed. I do NOT recommend this property at all. Horrible customer service.

I'd recommend it to anyone who needs somewhere to stay in Boston whilst on business or visiting a friend. Highly praised in Time Out's guide to Boston, this Fenway brownstone house did not disappoint at all. The interior is lovingly kept in original 19 century decor and Florence has an amazing collection of dolls as well as a whole room for her shoes and hats. At 80 dollars a night it was a bargain for a truly special room that could well have been in a museum. The bathroom was hip with a great toilet, and it was conveniently close to several T stops. The real gem though was Ms Frances, who was truly charming and had quite amazing stories. She has flags for every guest to show their nationality, and of the 50 or so flags she owns she's been to pretty much every country - including Iran. An introduction to her hat collection is quite a treat too. What a life she has led! She even had a free guest pass for me for the Museum of Fine Arts.

The restaurant (thanks for the menu adaption) and surrounding lounge area (with many books of local interest/history!) has great views of Boston's goings on, and it is steps away from many medical centers.

Smallish, but has a spot with a current so you can just swim - or just relax at the end of the day. Valet parking was worth it, and it is 24/7. LOVED IT- will be back!

This hotel has a lot of interesting design choices, so it's also worth mentioning the shower door kept rolling open and the shower and bathroom floor are incredibly slippery when wet.
