First Trip to Boston
I reserved a room at the Radisson on Stuart, "one block from Boston Commons." Will not have a car. Will this be a good, walkable location for a first-timer?? The room is $169 per night (first week in May.) Other hotels near the harbor had astronomical rates ($300 and way up) so the Radisson may be a dump, dunno.
I may try Priceline at the end of April. Should I use the Downtown/Copley area for my bid if I am interested in the usual tourist stuff?

I second wyatt. We've stayed at the Radisson and walked to everything. You can cut through the building diagonally across from the hotel (there is a Bennigan's on the corner) and cut out a whole block of walking. The Radisson also has balconies which are rare in Boston hotels.

When relatives visit from out of town and want to stay in a hotel many of them have stayed at the Radisson as recently as last August and all have been pleased -
as said, excellent location for many actiivites and restaurants - you will not need a car and are so close to public transportation also - and on arrival, go to the tourism kiosk right near you on the corner of Boston Common and take advantage of the info inside and the representatives
If you are a tourist looking to 'hit the ground running' and use your hotel for a good nights sleep, and possibly a quick put your feet up rest part way thru your day and a quick change for dinner type of thing - then you will be more than satisfied , imo.
I fyou are looking to spend luxurious time in a an over the top hotel room, then this is not the one for you, imo.

Will someone please confirm my "research" that these 2 Priceline zones are the best loctions for a first time trip to Boston to see the sights on foot?
