Boston hotes
 

Since so many of you have had Boston hotel experiences I would like some advice. Taking family of 4 to Boston this summer, and want some suggestions on hotels. trying to stay in $200 budget. will have no car, want to stay right in the city?
Boston prices shocked me a little.
Found:
AMES Hotel with breakfast $204
Hilton Back Bay $185
Boston Park Plaza Hotel $194
Hilton Downtown $215
Lenox $220
These are all a little out of my price range, but if the location is good, then I'm willing to spend a little more. I wanted to know if the location of these places were ideal to things to do and see in a walking distance. Thanks - this is our first time to Boston.

Try the Chandler inn.Paul

Boston is one of the most expensive cities for hotels, lots of tourists, actually one of the most tourist cities, next to NYC and not enough hotels so they can command higher pricing.

That said, one of my favs in Boston is the Harborside Inn, right downtown and across the street from Quincy Market, and walkable to everywhere. It is also on top of the Blueline T makes getting to and from the airport easy.

Walk the Freedom Trail, starting at the State House in Boston Common, it winds around downtown Boston and you will see most of the historic sites. Also takes you over the river to see Old Ironsides.

Must sees imho, are the Museum of Fine Art, Science Museum, Boston Garden and the Common (parks), Harvard, (several museums there too), Gardner Museum, Symphony Hall, Little Italy and the Prudential Center and you have seen most of the sites.

Have a great time and enjoy your trip.
