"We were greeted by Mrs. Butterworth. We were given keys & very strict instructions on how to lock the front door. The home was hot, dark & had an old, musty smell to it. There were 2 pleasant dogs, which unfortunately just added to the aroma of the home. As we climbed the staircase, we were advised to shut the lights off, whenever possible. We were asked to always leave the building dark. The home was neither fresh or inviting. We found used soap and shampoos in the bathrooms, used clothing hanging in the bedroom closets. We were left with the opinion that this establishment could be experiencing financial difficulty. As seen on several websites, the location is supposed to have air conditioning, however we only found open windows and (1) one table top fan per bedroom. The linens were musty, the couch had a dirty smell to it and there was enough dust on the upper hall table, that we literally "signed in" on that dusty surface. The upper hall smoke alarm was sitting on the upper hall table? The other couple in our party lost electricity in their bathroom within the first hour. The owner blamed current construction on the 3rd floor. We left for dinner and found another hotel to stay at. We returned to the inn, later that evening and found the house to be completely dark. The upper bedrooms were extremely hot and humid. We packed our bags woke the owner up and advised we were leaving. To our surprise, the owner said "nothing", literally "nothing", as she closed and locked the door behind us. This could explain why the owner insisted on getting the one night room deposit, via personal check only. We left with the impression that the owner has experienced all of this before. By definition, this is not a bed and breakfast. We should have been warned about any construction at the site as well as there being "no" Air Conditioning. We felt very deceived. We lost our two room - one night deposit <$500.00> , but we were able to salvage our vacation by choosing to leave.
Pros: Choosing to leave
Cons: No air conditioning, used toiletries, dusty surfaces, used clothing in the guest closets.

This is a great place to stay in Boston for a steal. For $25 a night (no tax!!!), you find a clean bed in a safe floor, which means you get to sleep soundly and be recharged for the next day.
Towel is for a $2 rent, thou.

A beautiful, romantic setting in the heart of downtown Boston. Near great sites like the North End and Fanueil Hall. It is your idea of the perfect hotel. The architecture is beautiful giving everyone--even passersby-- a gaze at Boston Harbor. The front of the building is gorgeous just don't look at the highway behind you. Once into the building, you are overlooking the harbor which is beautiful. The Sunday brunch-time 'Tea' is incredible and oh so relaxing. Serviced with white glove service overlooking the Harbor. Very chic and relaxing. My favorite Sunday pastime when family visits.

The Buckminster has somewhat of a reputation, and mostly, it lives up to it. My wife and I checked in late at night, and were given a room overlooking the Mass Pike. Needless to say, sleep was not an option with this arrangement, so we asked for a room change. The staff, while very friendly, scrambled to find another room for us, but eventually, they did. The hotel seems to live in a perpetual state of dust, a condition exacerbated during our stay by the ongoing construction. The air conditioning, however, worked flawlessly.
"Breakfast" can be eaten at the mini restaurant that is on the premises, but I'd suggest a trip to the bagel shop instead.
On the other hand, this hotel is certainly more affordable than other nearby options and is a one-minute walk away from Fenway Park, as well as very close to the Boston University campus. I guess if you don't mind the dust and the shady security, it is a good hotel for the price...
