i went there a couple of times years ago with my parents, i seem to remember it being nice. My parents have been a few times since, they like it there.

I can`t remember much about it, I know it must have been about 12 years ago i went `cos I couldn`t drink which was annoying cos loads of cool bands were playing in some bars near the hotel :(

Tower records was good, and the 2nd hand cd shops. good comic shop as well i remember. my parents made me see some history related things, Tea party and all that. Some old presidents lived there as well, you can see his old house, I forget which one, I was in my late teens so cd shops were far more interesting.

I remember a Science museum to, that was good, it had free internet, and there was a real R2 D2 as used in Star Wars at the entrance :)

we stayed in a hotel, on kind of a main road, there were trams to get about, so that was handy, my parents let me wander about on my own :) Filene`s Basement is a famous dept store which I remember having bargains.

Sorry, not much use am I! There was a Dunkin Donuts near the hotel to, and it had a swimming pool(the hotel, not Dunkin Donuts).

I just remember it being nice, not so hectic like New York etc.

cant remember... booked flights to New York, Las Vegas, Boston and return and hotels all through expedia... i will ask `she who must be obeyed` tomorrow as she will remember the name of the hotel... it was close to the airport, had complimentary bus/to from airport, and the railway station was about 10 minute walk to get right into Boston.

Cheers bar was rubbish... (where it was filmed and also the replica bar!)

The shopping was great for evreyone... and we ate out each night a a real american diner... probably the best food we had whilst in the states!

i have found it... Quote:
Comfort Inn Boston easy to find on expedia... has had two poor reviews but 11 great reviews... personally if we were going back, i would stay there agin, as i found it incredibly easy to get to from the airport and the city, it was great value for money, great service, and we had a very late check out which they accomodated without any issue.

Its funny with expedia as all the complaints more then always come from Americans who moan about everything, pillow not hard enough, pillow too soft etc - just shows that us Brits will put up with the little things :)

We stayed at the Monte Carlo last year in Las Vegas - excellent hotel and def would go back there again - some of our American friends complained of the elevators being too slow, not near enough to this place or that :/

Cheers Marks have added that one onto the short list as its around our very limited price range :)
