Recommended Hotel: Longwood Inn
Why: Best Rates, Friendly Atmosphere, Independently Owned

The Longwood Inn is a cozy guest house within walking distance of the Longwood T stop. It has the ambience of an elegant country cottage, but it is located just a short train ride from the heart of Boston. It’s also affordable at an average rate of $121 per night. Guests like the communal kitchen where you can make tea and coffee as well as store snacks. Many guests noted that the WiFi was sometimes unreliable. Per guest reviews, the inn is immaculately clean in common areas and guest rooms. We recommend the Longwood Inn to travelers looking to take a relaxing vacation.
