Priceline Hotel: Boston Hotel Advice

Planning to just spend a couple quick days in Boston at the end of August.  Probably going to Fenway for a ball game and do the Freedom Trail.

 

I'll be driving so I'll need to park my car, probably just staying one night on a weekend.

 

I don't know Boston at all, so I have no idea what areas are nice/safe and which are not.  Not too worried about price.  If I could be in a nice area within 10 miles or so of Fenway, that would be OK.  I'd probably be willing to pony up and stay right downtown as well.

 

Any/all advice would be appreciated.

Do you have specific dates in mind?

 

If budget is not an issue then what type of star rating is it that you're looking for in a hotel for this trip and what other aspects will be taken into consideration in choosing a hotel?

Why would you not stay downtown?

My suggestion would be to stay downtown as it will be convenient to explore the city as well as to take the train to Fenway.  Boston is one of the cities where once downtown you tend to just leave it until you leave, taking subway, train, and mass transit wherever you need to go.  If you were to drive to Fenway you will encounter traffic coming and going, not to mention the added expense of parking.

Thanks.  I guess the only reason for not staying downtown would be expense.  But I did sort of say price was not really an issue, didn't I?  Might have overstated the case a little.  But I also hate to pay like $40 a night to park my car, just on principle.

 

No worries.  I've done a little more research, I'll make some bids for downtown zones and I'm pretty good at finding the best overnight self parking options.  I'm sure I will just leave my car parked and use the bikeshare option to get around.

 

I'll report back if I get a winning Priceline bid.

 

Thanks!
