    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.

    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.

    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!
