Where to stay? Help!

At last I have booked my flights for 20 Oct. Staying for 7 nights. Now where to stay? Its my first trip to Boston so I have no idea where to go. Central would be best but I dont want to spend more than $150 a night. What will I get tor that price. If I do go out of town , then where would be easy to get too and from. I want to do the normal tourset stuff and have a few beers in an Irish bar as my husband is Irish (only way I get him to come is the promise of a beer).

Where to stay? Help!

LOL!!!!

You could take your chances with Priceline and see what you can get for $150-/night downtown. Others on these boards have pointed out inexpensive places downtown (the Midtown and John Jeffries, I think....). I%26#39;d try Priceline/Hotwire to see if you could land a fancy place....

Check the recent post on Irish pubs... the query about the Black...

Plenty of ideas there...

Hi,

For central Boston at $150/night, you are looking at either the Midtown hotel, the Oasis Guest House, 463 Beacon St. Guesthouse, or a small room at the John Jeffries House. Basically, you are looking at a 1-star budget hotel or guest house, except if you luck out with a Priceline or Hotwire bid. If you can squeeze your budget a bit higher, to just under $200/night, you might get a room at the Clarion Bulfinch, or the Holiday Inn Select/Government Center, either of which would be a good choice for you.

Just keep in mind that you are coming at one of the busier times of the year. Winter discounts won%26#39;t be available yet.

Look up any of those suggestions here on TA; there%26#39;s plenty of reviews etc. for each.

To please your husband, take a tour of the Harpoon Brewery or the Sam Adams brewery. I prefer the former as it is more extensive. You hotel%26#39;s concierge will direct you. They also have websites. The tours are free or have a minimal charge.

There are many great sports bars in the North Station area on Canal Street among others and also pubs in th Quincy Market area.

If you don%26#39;t have your heart set on a particular hotel, try priceline. It will ask you what area of Boston you want to stay in. I would choose Copley or downtown boston with 4 stars. I recently bid on Copley area for August and received a rate of $89.00 for the Marriott, Copley Center which I am very excited about. Boston is a very walkable city so either area will be fine for seeing tourist sights. Both are central locations.
