Steve, Based on the amenities listed, the Sheraton would be my best guess also. It could also be a match for the Hilton Back Bay if the Hilton has added the smoke-free icon (quite possible since all Boston hotels are now smoke free). Based only on my own experiences, the Sheraton seems more likely to release rooms to HOTWIRE well in advance, plus the trip advisor rating matches. I've stayed at both the Sheraton and Hilton. Rooms are nice at both and while not huge, good-sized for city hotels. Both should be family friendly. FYI, I'm in Boston every Aug and May moving kids to and from college, and have won the Sheraton at this price with these listed amenities. If you're more of a gambler, you could also try PRICELINE. Again, only my limited experience, but when HOTWIRE has back bay hotels listed at $95, I've won at $65 for 3.5* hotels on PRICELINE. (I've won the Hilton, Sheraton and Marriott at this price.) However, HOTWIRE, while a bit more expensive, makes it more likely to identify the hotel. In any event, between tourism and college move-ins, Boston is very busy in Aug and $95 is a good deal. Let me know if I can help further.
