Christmas In Boston, Stay Here
Advantages: Location and Price are very good Disadvantages: Not much I could find
...at in Boston, The Boston Park Plaza. ++++++++++Booking++++++++++
I booked our stay through Expedia www.expedia.co.uk and was paid upfront, I managed to get the hotel for an average rate of £50.10 per night for the three nights, on top of the room rate there is also the dreaded tax which was £7.87 per night. The hotel has it's own web site where you can make a booking and have a look at the facilities etc www.bostonparkplaza.com, although I would ... ...in bulk.
++++++++++Location++++++++++
The park Plaza is located in the Back Bay area of Boston. The hotel is located on the junction of Arlington and St James Ave, there is a very large multi-storey car park or garage as the Americans like to call them across the street. There is also Arlington station a MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) station within 100 metres, this is on the green line a very handy line as it stops at most of ...

Boston Tea Party
Advantages: 'European' sized rooms can be a bargain Disadvantages: Easy to fall into the trap of putting expensive drinks on the bill!
...it shows. The Omni Parker Hotel opened in 1855 and is situated right on the Freedom Trail - you couldn't ask for a more perfect setting to explore Boston. For America, this hotel is really old, and was the location for the famous 'Boston Tea Party'. For Europeans a 110 year old hotel is somewhat less amazing! Some of the rooms are named after famous literary figures who have stayed there: Ralph Waldo Emerson & Louisa May Alcott. John F Kennedy proposed ... ...expensive dining costs in the Omni Parker. If you can't do without your gym and if there's not enough walking for you, the hotel has its own gym. I couldn't tell you what its like though! For an authentic American bar experience - and a chance to be horrified at the legendary American portion sizes, turn left out of the hotel, pass the very new boutique Hotel Nine Zero and enter the bar on the corner. You could be on the set of 'Cheers'. There are ...

Back to Earth with a BUMP
Advantages: Location, large room Disadvantages: Appalling customer service, tiny bathroom, uncomfortable bed, DANGEROUS balcony
...opt for on holiday. The Radisson was rated as a 3 ½ star on Expedia, it had a good feedback rating from past clients both on expedia and on "www.tripadvisor.com", the rate was $192 (£100 approx) a night and so I went ahead and booked.
Location and arrival
Boston is a small city and one would have to be quite unlucky to find oneself in a hotel in an inconvenient location for this reason. So, we were perfectly happy with the central location ... ...planning to stay in a Radisson I would recommend asking for a regular bed if they still do them.
The bathroom was beautifully and newly done. The walls were white "brick style" tiles which I thought were very attractive with the chrome fittings, including one of those oversize shower heads. It was a tiny space though, I could easily touch opposite walls simultaneously without even stretching and the door opening / closing just about cleared the ...

If you are having a fly drive holiday........
Advantages: Location, good rooms, friendly service, good food Disadvantages: Restaurant looks lost in the lobby
If you intend to have a fly/drive holiday around New England & fly into Logan Airport in Boston, consider this hotel. Hiring a car from downtown Boston can be a nightmare as navigating out of large city like this as a total stranger is likely to send your blood pressure levels into orbit! I chose this hotel as it is located between the airport a large rental car facility, it means that once you pick up your car you drive onto the highway & north ... ...about.
Although the hotel is close to the airport it is still too far away to walk there with luggage on a hit summer's day. The taxi drivers don't like the short run from the airport as they only make a couple of dollars but that's not your problem.
I found the hotel comfortable, clean & the staff were friendly & efficient, there is a restaurant on the ground floor which looks likes its part of the lobby. Nevertheless, food was tasty & service ...

Boston City and not yet broke
Advantages: Central, friendly, affordable, online Disadvantages: Rather basic in most respects
I was staying at the Shawmutt Inn last week. It has friendly personnel, clean rooms and a really central location (10 minutes walk to the city centre, T-line station across the street) at affordable rates. The rooms (at least my room) include a basic kitchen with fridge, sink, microwave, coffee maker and a small selection of coffees.
It is not incredibly luxurious, my room had tiny windows near the ceiling, but a/c (also on leaving and checking ... ...The hotel itself is of course in a rather run-down section of the city (nothing to feel afraid off, just a few bars and buildings not painted for a long time).
The included breakfast is basic but nice with fresh Bagels, cornflakes, tea, coffee (on paper cups and plates, plastic cutlery).
Not to forget there is an Internet station to use (and even better and more important) free Wi-Fi in the rooms.
I would recommend this to people looking for an ...
