Our studio apartment was quiet, clean, and tastefully decorated. The inn is extremely well located for walking to many of Boston's major attractions and to excellent dining options. The kitchen in our studio unit was small but well equipped, quite adequate for a few days' stay.This is a no-contact facility: You're given key codes for main entrance and apartment doors. No problem for us, but I saw a couple of other people struggling to get in the front door.
My major complaint is the somewhat rundown condition of our apartment and the public areas. Half the kitchen cabinets were missing handles--had to open them by grasping the end of the screw that had held the missing knob in place. There were what looked like bleach stains on the carpet of our apartment, down the hall, and in the elevator. Carpets generally looked to need a good cleaning if not replacing. There were some marks on the wall near the desk in our unit; could've used a little touch-up painting.
These points weren't deal breakers for us, particularly given the reasonable room rate. Based on location and general cleanliness and privacy, we would return to the Inn at St. Botolph.
