These rooms are VERY small, like a dorm room with a bathroom. What makes this hotel worthwhile is it's location and the cost; it is half the cost of the next cheapest hotel in the city center, and this location allows you to walk to Boston Common, Copley Square, Theatre district, Fenway, and much much more.

The room was clean; staff friendly; we did not find it noisy but, we travel with a noise cancelling machine.

The shower (no tub) is quirky in that there is NO shelving anywhere to put shampoo, soap, whatever??? The trick, for not flooding the bathroom is to turn the volume all the way down, then adjust the temp, then get in before readjusting the volume.


We stayed at the Hotel 140 two nights and figure we saved over $300 to spend on other aspects of our vacation. We would stay here again.

Tiny rooms, even smaller beds ( a mere double between two people) and absolutely no service. This is more a rooming house than a hotel. Avoid.

The hotel location is really good. It places in the middle of the town. It closes to everything especially subway. By the way, the room we rent was very small as other reviews said. Our room had one window which opened to the construction site. Then, the view was not that impressive. Also the shower area was even worse. It's small.

Conversely, the hotel was renovated, so it is very new & clean. Staff was nice especially the aunty at the lobby. :-)

I would recommend this hotel.

So we stayed here for about a week and it was a so so experience. The room where we stayed, on the 8th floor, was VERY tiny. I'm willing to admit that this is somewhat normal for moderately priced hotel rooms in the Northeast but this room was smaller than my freshman dorm at college and that's saying something. The bed was not much bigger than a twin but moderately comfortable. The pillows was average and the towels were very scratchy. My room had a small carpet but otherwise linoleum flooring, wasn't very comfortable on the feet in the mornings. The bathroom was extremely small, the shower was barely big enough for one person and the showerhead was completely caked over in calcium deposits. The shower doors also leaked quite a bit which soaked the floor. The shower also has not where for you to place any toiletries so you have to place them all on the shower floor and bend over to use anything which is extremely uncomfortable. Showerhead caddies would be very beneficial. Was somewhat quiet and conveniently located. It was $20 a day to park a car in the adjacent garage. It was just a so so experience. I think I might look for another option if I go back to Boston.
