Boston accommodations

[Bear Ballz]

Heading to Fenway Park in a couple weeks and just wondering if anyone's been before. Looking for some ideas on where to stay and suggestions on what else to check out besides baseball games.

Thank you

If you appreciate history at all, walk the Freedom Trail. It's a route through downtown Boston denoted by painted footsteps on the street, goes by most of the early Boston, revolutionary, and civil war sites. Very interesting. I especially enjoyed the old granary cemetery. It's downtown on the route. Gives you a sense of how people lived and died over four centuries ago.

Rent a car and drive up to Salem, visit the witch museum. I found the "Cheers" bar definitely underwhelming and would not bother.

I've always been there on business and stayed in standard hotels like the Westin, but I had someone recommend this as a great little place: In Beacon Hill just off Boston Common. Great location.

If you need cheap in Boston check out Trip adviser for the exact dates you will be there. Really hard to near impossible to find anything good near the park or downtown under 350 U.S. a night. Should be much cheaper out by the airport and still decent rooms. Be VERY careful in Boston to check the mattress for bed bugs BEFORE moving your stuff in. Boston has a REALLY bad bed bug problem, even at some of the very expensive hotels.

There are a ton of things to do in Boston. It is a great city for restaurants, museums, churches, history or pretty much whatever interests you. They even have a great River tour in old converted Army amphibious craft. The one thing it isn't is cheap to travel to.
