The room was small, but very comfortable. Initially, I was a bit leery of the "no reception; we'll send you a code" check-in, but it went very smoothly. The code worked on all the doors it was supposed to work on, and I appreciated the triple-layer of code security - outside door, door to the floor, door to the room. Dorothy's is ideally situated, and easy walking distance to attractions in the area, in addition to the Red line train and numerous bus lines. If I had to ding Dorothy's on anything, it's this: Coffeemate isn't cream and doesn't do the same in your coffee in the morning as does half-and-half.

It's a charming older house, with breakfast available in the morning (cereal, coffee, waffle machine). Not a bad location, plenty of bus stops nearby. Mention you're staying upstairs at Big Gay Sal's and get a discount.

Arrangement was just a bit odd but the room was clean and secure and the location can't be beat. My room light had a flickering bulb and the fan was too unstable to use, but everything else was acceptable. One of the showers also had pretty bad water pressure but there's 2 available showers so that wasn't a problem the 2nd time.

There was a little bit of trash left over from the last guest. In addition, the fire alarm went off before checkout. I believe the owner was trying to wake me up. There was a smart type fire alarm that you can set off with your phone.

If you're looking for something in Boys Town you could not ask for anything better, but with that comes challenges and parking and noise. There really is not parking provided but there is a parking permit available and then good luck finding parking anywhere nearby. It is a very nice facility and super clean. I thought the automated notices were a little gruff and not needed in the way they were written however they were very helpful and were very clear on the expectations. I would definitely stay here again, Even with the parking situation.

Leaking water everywhere in bathroom, super old gross towels, super old sheets and blankets that may or may not have been clean and washed, carpet on stairs 85 years old and not vacuumed, no working outlet to charge anything, felt like motel 6.

Proviso: You shouldn't stay here if you need accessibility options. However, it's a charming building and the rooms were pleasant. We didn't really interact with anyone - most of the check in was automated. Expect a basic, simple stay with a breakfast pantry that refreshes every couple of days.
