Bull Flinch
People, do not stay here if you need to spend more than 1 nite in Boston. Sure, it is among the cheaper and convenient places to stay, but I can't imagine the local Hostel which has single rooms being much more cramped than this place.
While staff tried to be helpful, they are working against some odd policies of the management, where each room may only be provided with one bathrobe. When we asked for a 2nd one to be brought up they complied, but the next day the maid took it away, along with the one bar of soap they provided us.
The room is tiny, and there is no real space to keep even the smallest of carry-on luggage. The 3 pieces of furniture in the room, a desk, chair and a dresser where obviously remnants of the 70's or 60's heyday of the place.
If you need privacy in the bathroom, you will find that the unlockable sliding door (also cira 60's) provides no barrier to unwanted intrusion, sounds or mellifluous odors.
Location? Bulfinch is not in the city center, not "steps" from Fanueil Hall, nor Beacon Hill, nor Boston Commons. It is just outside of the major attraction areas, be prepared to take small treks to get to attractions.
Dining for breakfast at the Hotel's attached restaurant, you will be guaranteed to hear the staff bitterly complaining at each other and sporting a surly demeanor. The bar staff are much more friendly, and eager to look up how to mix a Tom Collins or Gimlet.
Of course hotel costs in Boston are outrageous, but Bulfinch with it's $200+ a nite rate will only increase your outrage.
