Davis Square Inn

This place was perfect for visiting Boston. It is in a friendly old neighborhood located a few blocks from Davis Square and near Tufts University where many college students are often seen. The room was very nice with a great shower. A short walk to the subway where you can get on the Red Line, which travels straight to Boston and Harvard, and go just about anywhere on it without having to move your car once! Davis Square is very nice and has some good places to eat. Breakfast is continental style with many choices. If you are visiting Boston, this is the place to stay!

Ok except one pretty big thing Room was comfy, breakfast was good, innkeeper was not as friendly as we are used to when staying at a B&B. But the problem was the very strong smell of animal urine that permeated the downstairs and the 2nd floor where our room was. It wasn't subtle - it was bad.

I stayed in the smallest room of the house, on the third floor, and enjoyed my stay. The room was comfortable with a small fridge and a desk (really appreciated!), the shared bathroom was clean, large, and the shower really good. It was fun sitting with the other guests for breakfast. There were plenty of options for breakfast, and there are a lot of restaurants just a few minutes of walk away from the inn. Two subway lines are easily reachable on foot, Somerville looks like a safe neigborhood and it has a nice vibe. The innkeeper was friendly, sadly I didn't see the cat. I had no trouble checking in and out.

The rooms are clean and comfortable...the hosts lack a welcoming attitude which definitely impacted our overall impressions At least try to be somewhat friendly since guests are paying 240-250 per night! Hospitality is an important aspect of one's overall impression especially in a B&B!!

The hotel is a charming B&B in a safe and quiet area, with convenient access to the Red Line MBTA station for easy access to Cambridge and Boston. There are also amenties in Davis Square itself including bars, restaurants and the Somerville Theater. The room was very clean and well maintained. The communal area is very quaint with a large dining table for enjoying breakfast with the other guests, and a selection of books, games and DVDs for borrowing during the stay. Breakfast includes bread with toaster, peanut butter, honey and coffee laid out as well as eggs, fruit, jams and yoghurts in the fridge, and homemade bakes on the table. A cat lives in the hotel but doesn't go into the rooms. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay. However, be advised that the building isn't manned by staff 24/7. Instead, entry is secured via a key code on the outside doors as well as your room itself. Unfortunately, there was a mix up with my booking outside of my control and I was unable to gain access to the property when I arrived. After contacting ******* to explain my situation they were able to inform one of the staff who rectified the issue and let me in. I was fortunate that this happened mid-afternoon and was easily resolved but had I arrived late at night this may have been a problem. For this reason, I would recommend contacting the hotel before arriving to make sure your booking and entry is confirmed, particularly if like me you are arriving from outside the US or Canada.

A very well run bed-and-breakfast in the heart of Medford. Walkable to many places and the T is a short walk or Uber right away.
