thereuare Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Are you looking only at the Back Bay-Copley zone? If so, your limit is somewhat low for this area of boston. If not, please clarify the actual zones you're considering.There is a 3* hotel for about $70 in the Boston Common/Theater District area available HERE which i suspect is the Radisson, would that work for you?

olant Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 i am sorry to be so ignorant, but can you please tell me how far from the Hynes is theatre district? i will be attneding a conference at Hynes, i wont have a car to use, and want to have minimal commute. Please can someone who is familiar with Boston commute educate me on how easy/difficult it is to commute between Hynes conference center and theatre district? Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 While you wait for a reply, why not get the address of the Convention Center and look it up on mapquest? Then in another browser you can get the address of the above hotel and use the East/West/North/South to navigate and see how far the two areas are. You can also use the driving directions feature at mapquest to guage how much milage would be involved between the two areas if you needed to take a cab between the two properties.

avial Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 easy, the hynes is roughly a few minutes walk from the Hynes/ICA stop on the green line. To get to the theater district, you have two choices:take the green line inbound to bolyston, and when you walk out of the station, either turn left, and go straight (you'll be crossing the street) and walk down to essex street where there's a theatre, the arcade, and the hyatt hotel, or walk straight ahead two blocks to stuart st. where there's the other theatre area, and some restaurants to your right down the street.www.mbta.com <-- they have a route planner if you want to use it.
