John Jeffries House
$, Beacon Hill
Fodor's Review:
It's devilishly tricky to locate, especially if you're driving, but once you do, you'll discover the JJH is a real find. This turn-of-the-20th-century building, across from Massachusetts General Hospital, was once a housing facility for nurses. Now, it's a sedate four-story inn, and one of the best values in town. The Federal-style double parlor has a cluster of floral-pattern chairs and sofas where you can relax with afternoon tea or coffee. Guest rooms are furnished with handsome upholstered pieces, and nearly all have kitchenettes. Triple-glazed windows block much noise from busy Charles Circle; many rooms have views of the Charles River. The inn is adjacent to Charles Street, home to lovely cafés, specialty boutiques, and antiques shops. Pros: Close to Beacon Hill, free Wi-Fi, good value. Cons: Continental breakfast is small and uninspired, inn is hard to find, it's near a hospital so you might hear ambulance sirens.

Charles Street Gem
Posted by Dave from Indiana on 11/3/06
We visited Boston for a week in October and couldn't have chosen a better location. At the end of our long days, we felt like we were home. If you can walk one mile, you can visit 90% of the Boston sites and the subway is right across the street. Wonderful old Beacon Hill is one block away. Just a great place to stay.
