second_price Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I am looking for a hotel for staying one night (9/17). It should to be close to the airport and have free shuttles to the airport. Looking for something inexpensive -- just safe and clean, nothing fancy.Budget: $75 (including tax)Zone: ??Was planing to selecting the Logan area, but luckily checked it on the map -- it is a very large area, Quincy Market seems to be closer to the airport than some parts of the Logan zone.What should I do?Thanks!

yellowdog Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Was planing to selecting the Logan area, but luckily checked it on the map -- it is a very large area, Quincy Market seems to be closer to the airport than some parts of the Logan zone.Quincy Market is not the zone you go for if you hope for shuttles to the airport. And if a shuttle is a must should you go with HOTWIRE for this stay.Yellowdog. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 The Boston subway systerm's silver line (which the silver line is actually a bus) goes to the airport... there would be a fare involved to use it, but if you're looking to stay 'Downtown' it is do-able and the fare is reasonable (~$2-3 i'm guessing). Looks like the Blue line goes to the airport too: MBTA websiteNot sure if this works for your needs of not of a 'free shuttle'... if you're arriving late and leaving early the next morning it may be easier to take stay near the airport and then 'commute' from the hotel to downtown if you were looking to go out for the nite (keep in mind Boston's train system shuts down sometime after midnite or 1am). Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

second_price Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 It is most important to be close to the airport: we have an early morning flight to catch. Free shuttles are not as important. Proximity to downtown Boston is not necessary.Which zone should I bid in?Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 If you look at PRICELINE's map of this area you'll see that the Revere-Logan Airport zone is the area which includes the airport. However, note that the zone goes pretty far north and you could receive a hotel anywhere in the zone. You could also consider PRICELINE's Waterfront zone which is 'across the river' but easily accessible via Mas Pike and may be closer to the airport geographically, than some points in the Northern part of the airport zone.Let us know which zone(s) you'd like to include and how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.
