Hotel and the T

Our daughter will be attending and playing volleyball at UMass Boston next fall, and we will be flying from SoCal. Where is the most convenient and reasonable hotel around the UMass/JFK ';T'; stop? Or any other hotel with easy access to the college??

Hotel and the T

There are two Motels right on Morrissey Blvd. in Dorchester not too far from UMASS. One of them is the Comfort Inn and the other one is the Ramada Inn located at 800 Morrissey Blvd.

That%26#39;s great your daughter made her decision already, I can%26#39;t wait to hear where my niece ends up going, we should be hearing pretty pretty soon!

The Best of Luck to her and your family!

Yes, all previous Hotels listed are from the site and very good ones. The Ramada Inn in Dorchester (Boston) is probably the closest motel to the Campus though and it has a free shuttle to the ';T'; stop near UMass. It%26#39;s pretty convenient for that location near the school, but if you wanted to stay right in downtown Boston instead then any one of the hotels named here have the ';T'; right there or at least within walking distance from the lobby of any of these hotels.

Good luck!

DONT stay at either of those motels suggested by that so called ';expert';. Nasty.

You will twist your ankle on the needles and crack pipes in the parking lot.

Motels and downtown urban areas = vermin.

nuff said.

u cant go wrong with any of the others suggested.

Let me repeat myself again. To answer Taxiplease%26#39;s question on this site; which is the only question we%26#39;re concerned with right now, the most reasonable and most convenient hotel/motel around the UMASS/JFK %26#39;T%26#39; stop again is the Ramada Inn on Morrissey Blvd. in Dorchester or the Comfort Inn, just review them yourself to make your decision, yes there are quite a lot of downtown Hotels to choose from that are very convenient to the ';T';, just go to www.mbta.com for directions and locations of the stops.

I didn%26#39;t think the Ramada was all that bad when I was last in the neighborhood. The parking lot is well-lit and Morrissey Blvd is always a busy thoroughfare. I have heard that the pedestrian walkway is a rather ill lit but to go as far as the crack pipe assertion, well, I don%26#39;t know about that.

The Ramada Inn in Dorchester isn%26#39;t bad at all, I drove by it many many times when I lived over by there. I also just went online and saw pictures of the place and it%26#39;s nice for the amount it is a night, you can%26#39;t beat it. The real beauty of it is their free shuttle that picks people up and drops them off that they have, not only at the ';T'; stops but even at the airport, which is a major plus with out of towners trying to figure out this City when they first get here.

For a quick overnighter or two to just tour and visit a college it%26#39;s a perfect place. WHATEVER!

Go to www.Citysearch.com and type in Boston and there you will find your answer. Very convient site to use. I use it all the time when giving directions and hotel recommendations to tourists. And it doesn%26#39;t hurt that I know Boston pretty well since I live here. Ask away if you need any help from me.

I have to agree with Olive on this one....don%26#39;t go outside of Boston to find hotels because it%26#39;s cheaper....worth finding and spending a little more $$ for a better location like downtown. Try the Hyatt, Holiday Inn,John Jeffery House (I read that this hotel start with rates $97 per night) -nice Beacon Hill location and nice hotel and Bullfinch Hotel (New Hotel;also good rates).
