The Beacon Inn at 1087 is located in a residential, safe area near Boston University and about ten minutes from downtown Boston. The inn is also literally right across the street from the "T" (Boston's easy to use subway system for all you New England newbies). My husband and I stayed in the Fenway Room, which is very spacious and... More

Rooms and windows are not isolated so it was terrible noisy so you could hear and count each and every car and tram at night. It was winter (January in Boston) and the heating installation didn't work at all. Breakfast was awful and it didn't have even a place to sit (no chairs, no tables, ...). Old, stinky, freezing ......

I had planned to only be in town for one night, but was forced to extend the stay a few extra nights. The staff was happy to extend my stay and made my visit to Boston a bit easier. The location was nice. It was a short walk to the longwood medical area where the family member I was visiting... More

I traveled to Boston to visit my family for the holidays. I was surprised to find a hotel at the rate I did within the city limits. The staff was incredibly hospitable and even let me use their computers for printing everything I needed. I also like that despite being so close to downtown, it was a quiet area and... More

I stayed at this hotel recently while in Boston for an interview in the Longwood Medical area. I took a cab to my interview, but was able to walk back easily, and having the train stop right in front of the building was extremely convenient. It is also just outside the Coolidge Corner neighborhood where I found a number of... More

I stayed at the 1087 Beacon location while visiting my daughter who attends BU. The location was perfect, I was able to walk easily both to my daughters dorm and to Kenmore Square. The room was comfortable, and had everything I needed. It actually had three beds which allowed me to avoid booking a second room. I had never been... More

Your non refundable deposit is actually the full amount of your reservation so if you need to cancel, even far in advance, you get screwed. Not good business. After I was told I couldn't cancel, I said to keep the reservation open because I didn't think it was fair that they keep my money and then potentially rent the room... More

Not even sure how to begin this review. The only semi-positive thing I can say is that is was probably once a beautiful home....it's a shame what has happened to it. And that is close to the metro (right across the street). Walk in and smell cat urine. Really dingy "front desk" (a table placed in the foyer). Stayed with... More

I stayed at the 1087 Beacon property in October 2011. I was swayed by the 8 out of 10 points on Priceline, which rates it a 2 star property. Generally am concerned with 2 stars, but this place didn't have an elevator, etc. which would easily account for a star hit so decided to give it a try. Almost every... More

Had a non-refundable deposit for room. Flight from Va. to Boston cancelled due to weather. No other fights out until next day. Contacted hotel immediately from airport to inform them... but could not get anyone in authority. In short, we lost $167 deposit due to circumstances that were basically " an act of God". We had on input into the... More
