Homestays em Massachusetts, United States

More like a family hotel, the design of the house is very characteristic, very warm, the room is small, breakfast is very close to Harvard, can walk, but the parking space is very small, we went late, parked in a parking space Location, I originally wanted to park the hotel the next morning, go to Harvard, but the hotel said that the location of our car is not good, we have to leave when we check out. As a result, we are looking for parking lots everywhere. It is very expensive and the parking fee is very expensive. I went to live in the parking lot and said that it was not good to park near Harvard. In the end, I was looking for a parking lot everywhere. It took time and money, and the hotel price was not high.

I stayed at the Oasis Guest House for a couple of nights in early July. I had booked a 1 person shared bathroom room but was upgraded to an ensuite room. I loved staying at the Oasis Guest House. There's something very comforting about seeing the same faces at the front desk every day. Being able to have a friendly chat with them about the neighborhood as you come home or head out. Staying in a place that blends into the neighborhood rather than seeking to dominate it. Boston is a very walkable city with great public transportation options and the Oasis Guest House is well situated to let you head out and explore the city. The property is centrally air conditioned and kept at a comfortable temperature. There was also a small fan in the room which I didn't need but was nice to have on hand. There was also a spare blanket in the dresser which I didn't need but was nice to have on hand. The room was not large but was perfectly comfortable and a very relaxing place to return to after a day of walking around the city. The bathroom was very clean. The shower space was a bit tight but worked well. I will definitely be returning to the Oasis Guest House on my next trip to Boston.

We stopped here on a cross-country trip from upper Maine to Washington. The room was very noisy: we heard everyone above us and outside our door. Worse, our room was located behind the outside stairs so we heard everyone clomping up and down stairs. A staff person was very rude to my husband when he was walking our dog, saying that we had not informed them that we had a pet (we had, and were charged $20 at check-in and ANOTHER $20 a day later). She also said that dogs are only allowed in the back of the property but there are no signs to that effect. The room seemed clean and was well-lit: that's the best I can say for it!

Stayed two nights at this hotel on our trip to Boston. Lots of amenities around and am easy drive to the near by train stations which is why we coffee this hotel. The hotel itself from the outside looks terrifying and very run down. There are multiple buildings, two one level and one two level building. We stayed in the test level building. The room itself is much nicer than the outside of the hotel and appears somewhat newly renovated. The bathroom however is declining not renovated and could use a little TLC. The vanity is very dingy, the heater in the bathroom was disgusting and super old. The bathtub was very rough feeling and just super old and don't looking. The bed was comfortable and pillows were good. There is a fridge, microwave, decent size tv, and two chairs in the room. We encountered a toilet that wouldn't flush as there was no water in it when we got there. I didn't get the staff members name but he was there both evenings we stayed. He was extremely helpful and handled the situation well. We related the problem and within minutes he came to attempt to fix the issues, he couldn't so placed is in a different room. Excellent service. The breakfast was suppose to start at 7.. we went on our first morning at 7:05 and nothing was out. We went back at 7:15 to find two kinds of cereal, bananas, donuts and some bread. The juice machine want working and the cereal I after was so stale I just had to throw it out. There was a very tiny little table to sit at. The parking lot is very small and if you have a bigger vehicle it would be a nightmare. Overall the hotel was okay. It wouldn't be my first choice to stay at again but it was on the cheaper side. I feel that there are just so many other places to stay I probably wouldn't pick this hotel. In general the hotel was quiet, no street noise however where the floor is laminate we could head everything above us when the people walked.

Spent two nights here. Wouldn’t do it again if we had it to do over. House itself is lovely and there is history here. But it’s almost as if the owner is trying to make it based on the history rather than what is offered for the guests in the way of service and amenities. As I said, the house is beautiful. However, the grounds aren’t anything to write home about. The whole backyard is fenced off and hidden behind tarps because it is a disaster. It needs a lot of attention and TLC. The rooms are small as they are in a lot of older homes. And we were surprised to find that the doors to the bedrooms did not have locks on them. First and only time we’ve experienced that. They would have been large enough if there wasn’t so much furniture in them. We didn’t have room to have our two suitcases open and walk around the room but there was an old chair and a dresser with some antique porcelain-ware on it taking up space. The chair was very uncomfortable (We could feel every spring in it when we sat down and noticed the same same on some of the other furniture in the common areas of the house.) and the dresser, while a nice piece of furniture, took up space that could have been more efficiently used in a small room. The bathroom was very small also and the biggest issue was there wasn’t any place to put our toiletries. And finding a used washcloth on the floor when we checked in didn’t help with our impression of the care and attention given to cleaning measures taken between guests. Breakfast also left something to be desired. They set out a counter with pastries and fresh fruit, juice and coffee and a variety of cereals. Something was mentioned about being able to make eggs if we wanted them but we had the distance impression that doing so would be an inconvenience. WiFi was available but we found it to be intermittent in our room. The final straw for us was that we had reserved two rooms with king beds on the second floor. But after the reservation was confirmed, we had a call from the owner that he had messed up the reservations and double booked a room. So we would have to have one of our two rooms be a room with a queen bed on the third floor. It turned out that the room was more suited for Hobbits than normal size humans and for that nuisance and having to carry luggage up an extra flight of narrow and steep stairs, no offer of a discounted rate was made. Overall, just a major disappointment on several fronts which made this an overpriced and overrated experience.

This hotel was lovely! We have stayed at many hotels in Boston and it is always overpriced. This hotel was reasonably priced (for Boston) and was in a beautiful location right on Newbury St among all the shops and a block away from Copley square. It was also very close to the T allowing for quick travel to various locations. The king room with bay window was spacious and clean. The view onto Newbury made you feel like you lived in Boston. Also, there were some tasty cookies in the lobby. We would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I stayed at the College Club for four nights in October 2023. It's an interesting old building. We had one of the rooms with the ensuite bathrooms. The room was large and quite clean, but the bathroom was a bit worn in a few places. The room had two full beds, not a queen or a king. Our room opened onto an alley in the back, and unfortunately it seemed that most days garbage trucks worked their way down this alley starting very early in the morning, like 5:30 AM, and made a lot of racket. The room has a white noise machine that we used, which was helpful, but not much could cover that noise up. I'm not aware of how rooms on the front of the building towards Commonwealth Avenue might be for sound. Breakfasts are continental and adequate - yogurt, croissants, hard boiled eggs, juice - nice enough, but if you want a hot served breakfast, this is probably not the place for you. Still, for us, these were minor issues, and the historic nature of the building and the room, along with the excellent location, made our stay enjoyable. You are only a short walk away from the Public Garden, the Common, Beacon Hill, and the Freedom Trail. We would stay again if in Boston.

Terry and Phil are perfect hosts. They're home is stunning and has been redone with meticulous attention to detail. At the same time it is homey and welcoming. We had so much fun sitting in the dining room, me with a cup of tea and my husband with a Guinness, watching the fall leaves and a beautiful view of the lake with the forest and the islands. Then we moved into the living room and relaxed on the couch which has an equally beautiful view. The TV room den gives you yet anotber gracious space to enjoy Our Rose room was beautiful. Terry gave us great recommendations for a day trip to see heirloom apples and an amazing Stone fence building display. The food at the Inn was home-cooked and delicious with all kinds of extra complimentary touches that made us feel welcome and added another dimension to the fun. We took a beautiful hike on a country Lane by their house that was covered with a canopy of trees, and gave me a great variety of mosses, mushrooms, and ferns to admire. Thank you very much for a wonderful vacation!
