I can tell you for certain - you want to stay outside the city. I lived in the area for most of my life, and you can save yourself a lot of fuss and fuming if you get a room off of Rt 495 around the I-290 interchange in Westboro. Probably some good name hotels, Marriot...whatever - the area has grown since I was a kid and there are now excellent restaurants and shopping within ten minutes from anywhere. Plus - you're five minutes from the Mass Pike - a 20 minute straight shot into Fenway. Park in the Prudential Center Mall garage and walk the 5, 6 blocks to Fenway. Trust me - you don't want to end up driving around the Fens looking for discount parking if you've never been there. That's $80 / hr worth of hassle. Keep in mind that the streets of Boston go back to colonial day cowpaths, when there were no "planning boards". Whatever you do, stay away from the 128 (I-95) area, or you'll be paying top dollar for nothing but bumper to bumper heartache. Hope this helps. Keep us posted. ...View More...View Less
