I stayed here on a recent trip to Boston. We wanted to be near Fenway and Longwood was perfect. It was about a 25 minute walk but on a great summer day that wasn't a problem. The neighborhood was gorgeus and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. We had one of the rooms off the back so we didn't have... More

I was very disappointed to here that Ronda is not working her old hours at the Inn. I recently made a new reservation to stay at the Inn this coming Spring largely due to the fact that Ronda was so kind and accommodating to us in the past. The Inn is a very comfortable location, but the true heart of... More

I spent a night at the Longwood and was generally very happy with the accommodations. The exterior is gorgeous (English country house design) and the location is quite good. It's close to two different branches of the MBTA Green Line and also easy walking distance to Coolidge Corners. There is free on-site parking, free WiFi, and even a living room... More

I am sorry for the inconvenience experienced by jahansen with the shower in his room. The showers at the Longwood Inn have water saver shower heads to help conserve water. They have buttons on them which can be pushed in one direction to shut off the water without turning off the shower valve and then pushed in the other direction... More

Out the front door and left, you come to shops and restaurants in a few blocks. Go right, and in a couple of blocks you come to a walking path along a stream in a safe wooded park. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. More

We stayed at the Longwood Inn this past July 2011. Located on a gorgeous street lined with some B&B's and inns. Only a short walk from the train and from a bunch of restaurants and shops. It was clean and cozy; very cool old house. :) We stayed on the 3rd floor and although the room was pretty small, it... More

When I was invited to speak at the medical center my hosts suggested I reserve a room at the inn on Longwood. I booked at the Longwood Inn - they meant the Best Western Longwood which is closer to Harvard. However i had no regrets about the error. When I arrived at 10am with 3 hours sleep, they put me...

This was a wonderful experience. This inn is warm and welcoming. I have been to other inns in the area where the surroundings look welcoming but the staff has been the worst. So this was a pleasant surprise. Lovely surroundings, charming rooms and inn keepers who make this a great experience. More

A great alternative to the standard, generic chain hotel. Friendly, clean, great location and reasonably priced. The mansion has beautiful architectural details as an added bonus. It is important to me to be aesthetically pleased with my surroundings, and Longwood Inn absolutely fulfilled that criterion. I will stay there again next time. More

I travel to Boston every three months for medical reasons and I always feel good when I check in and Ronda gives me a big hug. Her warmth and concern has always made it easier to face the unknown of my test results. When I made my reservation today and was told she was not there I was devastated. I'm... More

I thought the Longwood Inn was a very nice place to stay and the price was certainly right. Our room was clean, and had an updated bathroom which was nice. The house itself was pretty and it was great to have convenient, free parking. I would certainly stay here again. More
