    Nice Place To Stay and Close to Fenway Park

    August 20, 2011

    Reviewed August 18, 2011 My wife and I just completed our brief stay at The Samuel Sewall Inn. This was our first stay here and I am delighted to say without hesitation that we will return. We wanted to stay within walking distance of Fenway Park along with having safe and secure parking for a reasonable cost. The Sewall provided both plus a lovely, clean, quiet, comfortable and friendly place to stay. I would highly recommend, Now if the nice people at Sewall Inn could of helped the Red Sox win, well that might be asking a bit much.

    30th wedding anniversary

    August 06, 2011

    It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we visited Boston for the week. The staff was outstanding and helpful our entire time there. I am sorry I do not remember the names of the inn keepers on hand our first night July 31st. They went over and above to insure our stay was an excellent one. The room was comfortable, with a king size bed. The bathroom was small but very clean and well stocked at all times. The location was in what I would describe as a quiet neighborhood, with easy access to the subway or taxi service. The food was good and filling for the two of us. We will keep this location in mind for any future stays in the Boston area.

    Wonderful Inn

    August 20, 2010

    We only stayed one night but were very impressed with the cleanliness, convenience, and ambience of this historic inn. Wonderful period details - loved the wood floors, stained glass windows, antique furniture. Didn't stay for the full breakfast but the continental buffet was all that we needed. Would definitely stay again!

    A visit to Yankee Grandma

    May 13, 2010

    The Samuel Sewall Inn is a feast for ther eyes for those who enjoy history, an antiquie atmosphere, and remember the yesteryear warmth of Yankee Grandma's traditional parlor. Everything is well maintained and without any taint of tasteless glitz. I was pleasantly surprised to find my bathroom floor heated and appreciated the hairdryer, Q-tips and cotton balls among other things. The Inn is located on the corner of St. Paul Ave. which is a somewhat busy street for very light sleepers, but there are side-street quiet rooms available on the Sewall St. side. By experience, I can tell you that it was a quiet as my home in the country. I felt that I had discovered a well kept secret with this Inn, and will especially send my non-American visitors there when they visit Boston. I look forward to my next stay.

    Accommodating & Compassionate Management

    January 07, 2010

    Although we did not have the good fortune of being able to stay at the Samuel Sewall or the Bertram Inn for our scheduled vacation this past holiday season, I wanted to write this review, and also thank the staff for their understanding of our unfortunate circumstances We were initially to arrive at the Bertram Inn (the sister to the Samuel Sewall Inn), on the 29th of December 2009, and transfer to the Samuel Sewall on the 31st for the remainder of our stay. However, I became ill and unable to travel, so we contacted the inn, and dropped that first night's stay, and said we would be there for the 30th, staying until the 3rd of January 2010. Again, my illness kept us from traveling, and we ended up cancelling the entire trip altogether, much to my dismay. Scott was very helpful in getting the rooms rented out, and kept us from having to pay for a stay we were unable to make, resulting in only the lost of our initial deposit. I felt this to be very fair, as the notice we had to give was within 24 hours, a far cry from the 2 weeks required, but showing goodwill and compassion, the staff at these two B&Bs eased at our financial pain, and also extended the offer of an upgrade, when we are able to finally make this trip. In these days, there are not many businesses that will make this effort at a last minute, when they have the ability to charge the full price, and not worry about it, but the management of these two facilities made an extra effort, so we would not have to suffer insult to injury, by having to pay for a missed vacation. We will definitely be taking our trip to Boston, and will certainly stay at these two inns in the near future, and I would highly recommend such a fair, reputable, friendly and compassion establishment to all those who plan a visit to this town. Thanks again to Scott and the Staff at the Bertram Inn & the Samuel Sewall Inn.
