I booked the Samuel Sewall Inn because of the great ratings online and because it was one of the cheaper hotels/B&B close to my job interview.

I e-mailed the B&B in advance to ask for their quiestest room (they recommended room#10). Their reply was quick, informative and on the money! I have no complaints with the room I received. In fact, when I arrived, the innkeeper offered me a free upgrade to a larger room because she felt bad that room #10s bathroom was small. It was more than adequate. She was also incredibly helpful with planning my stay in Boston. Excellent service! However, not all staff members were as helpful or enthusiastic as her. But still, no complaints at all!

The bed was very comfortable. The hot water was plentiful. The breakfast was delicious. There is always food available during the day. One day there was supposed to be hard boiled eggs and it was a no show. I didn't really care, they make you gasy anyway. I did find it cold in the morning when I woke up... I would have preferred more consistent heating. But that was minor, I barely even remembered.

The location isn't the best. It was close to my interview, but far from the main touristy sites. The B&B is just outside of the St. Paul's subway stop, so at least that was very convenient. It took me less than an hour to get to the B&B from the airport by public transportation.

Very good value, service and experience. I definitely recommend! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It doesn't get 5/5 because for all the places I've travelled in my life it doesn't really stand out... but don't let that deter you from booking.

My husband and I took comfort at this warm and welcoming Inn at the end of each day we spent in Brookline. We greatly appreciated the genuine friendliness of the evening staff member, who was very knowledgable about the places to see in Boston. The Inn is located in a quiet yet convenient neighborhood, within walking distance to great restaurants and some attractions. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. We enjoyed waking up each morning to their delicious breakfast casseroles, pastries, and freshly-brewed coffee. We look forward to staying there again during our next visit to Brookline.

We only stayed here one evening. I am from the area, but had a guest who stayed at the Inn. Very helpful owners. Room 8 is really lovely, the bed high and comfortable, the feeling warm and welcoming. Bathroom was a bit cramped, but other than that, could not find fault. Breakfast was quite good, with a wide variety of options, including a delicious scone. It's true that the room is fairly small, but I did not experience any problems. Would recommend highly and would stay again if the situation warranted. I will always have fond memories of this home.

The Samuel Sewall Inn was a wonderful place to stay while visiting friends in Brookline. Since we had a rental car, we appreciated the ease of parking in the parking lot. Check-in was easy, and our room was very nice with a comfortable bed. My husband and I went running each morning in the neighborhood, and then came back for breakfast in the courtyard. Even though it's a small inn, you don't feel like the staff is keeping tabs on you, which I appreciated. We were able to walk to Fenway Park from the inn and really enjoyed the neighborhood in general.
