Rooms are small but cozy and comfortable. Breakfast was really good, and they started it an hour early on Boston Marathon day. Staff was friendly, helpful, and kind. I hope to run Boston again, and I'll plan to stay at the Irving.

I'm a big fan of this quirky place. I've been going to Irving House for over two decades. Has a nice community feel even though I didn't interact with the other guests and will unlikely see them again. The staff is always terrific. Love the ethos of this place.
