Hotel in Boston (1 night)

I%26#39;ll be visiting New England in October and we%26#39;ll spend one day in Boston before we head back home. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced hotel, that has parking available for our rental car, maybe near a subway stop? Are the hotels near the airport far away from the downtown area? I definitly want to explore Faneuil Hall but I don%26#39;t need to be within 2 blocks of it, as long as I can get there from a subway stop.

The airport is not that far from downtown, but I think if you are just spending a day, you may as well stay right downtown and spend as much time there as possible. Just about every downtown hotel is going to be near the subway.





I%26#39;m not sure what you mean by ';reasonable';. Boston hotels are on the expensive side. A relatively reasonable hotel is the Back Bay Hilton. Closer to Fanueil Hall is the Omni Parker House that is relatively reasonable. There is also a Holiday Inn downtown, if that%26#39;s what you are looking for.





There are many others as well, although none are what you would likely consider cheap. All hotels will let you park a car in a garage or valet it, but you will pay to park everywhere downtown. Probably at least $18+ a day on top of the room rate.





Also note: October is a busy time in Boston. Reserve well in advance.

Sorry, reasonable in the 100-150 range, if that%26#39;s even possible. If not, than no more than 200. I will be using a government rate as well, but I understand that most places wouldn%26#39;t offer it during October.




Highly recommend the Boston Yacht Haven - it meets all your criteria - parking, central, reasonably priced - (and less than five mins walk from Faneuil Hall incidently!).

There are reviews of it on this site if u do a trawl. It%26#39;s an inn more than a hotel but it%26#39;s extremely plush with fantastic views of both the city sky line, while having yachts outside the bedroom windows!



It%26#39;s an absolutely fantastic, unique place to stay...we%26#39;re regular Boston visitors and only discovered this place on our last visit.




It%26#39;s $175 a night for the %26#39;basic%26#39; room )but it%26#39;s far from basic - v spacious) Don%26#39;t be put off, (as i was initially!) about all the stuff about single phase amps and dockage per sq foot - it is a yacht club on a wharf after all!!!




The Holiday Inn at government Center has reasonable rates, parking and is about a 10 minute walk to Quincy Market. It is about a 10 minute drive from the airport. If you do not need a car for travel out of town then do not rent one as it is expensive overall and is not necessary in Boston. I believe that parking rates are $35 per day.



The Midtown Hotel has large rooms, reasonable rates and free parking. It is near to the subway line. It has spacious rooms in an older hotel. It is about 20 minutes by subway to Quincy Market.

I like the location of the Holiday Inn better, just a personal preference.




You can try Marriott Copley for $85 at priceline.com




Dont waste a great trip to BOston staying at the airport



Stay downtown



SOmeone recomended the Omni Parker House and they are right great value and location and if you are staying one night check out the values for a Economy Single Room type or Europeon Room type they have others to choose but for one night cant beat the deal for a europeon type room with the same amenity as the deluxe room just a little bit smaller room



Park your car at the Boston Common Garage which is 1 block from the hotel.
