Boston in April
 

Coming to Boston in April for a Red Sox/Yankees game. Have never been to the city...I need suggestions on where to stay. I know it is likely to still be cold, but I'd like to be within walking distance to some nice restaurants and shopping.

Boston is beautiful in the spring, summer and fall. There many hotels to choose from. If you are looking to stay right in town and don't mind paying the high prices, the waterfront (Marriot on Long Wharf) or in The Copley Square area (Marriot, and many more) are great locations. For a little less, you can stay in Cambridge (Kendall Square) or in Kenmore Square (this is the T-stop, Green Line to Fenway Park) or in Brookline (Coolidge Corner). All are accessible by the Green Line or the Red Line on the MBTA.

Have a great time!

Stay in the Back Bay. You can walk or take a short T ride to the game. Or you can stay at the Hotel Commonwealth which is one block from Fenway.

Let us assume that you are not coming at the time of the marathon. It will be very hard to get a room if you are.

Is that game the one that is on the day of the Boston Marathon? If so, you need to have lodging asap and may not have much choice on where you can stay.

emalloy - no - Red Sxo/Yankees series is first full weekend in April - Patriots Day/Boston Marathon is 3rd Monday. But a good heads up for anyone traveling to Boston in April
