Hilton Boston Logan Airport, Boston

Boston Hilton

Advantages: Comfortable, clean, good location
Disadvantages: Prices during the week

I like my home comforts when I am travelling abroad, but Mr Tart is quite happy to stay in any old hostel. We were looking for somewhere to stay on a trip to Boston and had decided that a guest house would be a happy medium. However, they weren?t that cheap and when I had a look on Expedia and found a Hilton for less money I couldn?t believe my luck! LOCATION: This Hilton is located in Boston?s Financial District. It is at 89 Broad Street. Despite it being in the Financial District we found it very easy to walk from the hotel to the main tourist sites of the city. Quincy Market and the Old State House were only 10 minutes walk away. PRICES: The price of this particular hotel seems to vary a lot depending on when you stay and who you book through. As the hotel is in the Financial District it puts up a lot of business ...

Review of Hilton Boston Financial District, Boston

BOSTON IN DECEMBER

Advantages: Excellent dollar rate, laid back city
Disadvantages: Spent too much shopping and did not get to see the famous New England Fall trees!

About a month ago now, my partner Paul and l headed off for a short break to Boston, Massachusetts, from 2nd December until 7th December. We flew from Belfast City airport with BMI – at a cost of around £80 per person return, flying on to from London Heathrow with United Airlines to Washington Dulles then to Boston’s Logan International airport. This cost approximately £550 for 2 adults. Now we flew with United for one simple reason – United are Star Alliance members – we could have flown direct to Boston with the likes of British Airways or Virgin Atlantic – but we would not have gained air miles and membership miles (l know its sad!) The overall flight took from 8.55am and we arrived into Boston around 2pm (-5 GMT). So it was just over 10 hours – a direct flight would take over 7 hours ...

Boston, Logan ... Steer Clear

Advantages: Not many apart from being in Boston
Disadvantages: Drive into Boston a nightmare

Boston is a great city but Logan Airport is a still security disaster even after the events of 9/11 (9th Sept in UK speak). We flew into Logan from Toronto and a week later out again on 11/04 back to Toronto. Agreed there were National Guard and US Marshalls at the checkout but the security staff (mostly coloured and with very poor English and obviously neither very motivated or trained properly) simply were not upto the job - we didn't see even one person given a hands on search over a period of some 4 hours waiting - they seemed to just be content to waive the paddle devices at people. Nor was there anything more than perfunctory pre-boarding searches going on. Worse still the departure lounge seemed to be completely unchecked - and since there were two gift shops open but no coffee shop, people were freely wandering from the immediate ...
