BOS Airport Hotel with transportation options

Looking for a hotel suggestion that has airport shuttle service and also is close to public transportation to get into the city. Thinking Hampton Inn or similar type. Trying to keep cost down. Thank you.

BOS Airport Hotel with transportation options

The cheaper airport hotels tend to be located a ways from the airport--they have shuttles, but i sort of wonder if you couldn%26#39;t get a good deal via priceline and get something downtown. Granted, the downtown hotels don%26#39;t have airport shuttles, but it%26#39;s a 2- T ride that takes about 15 minutes to get from the Airport downtown. You can try the Holiday Inn airport or the other lower-cost airport hotels (vis a vis the Hilton, etc.) but..I%26#39;d be curious to find out what%26#39;s available on Priceline. I suggest that because if you did end up in Revere, it adds travel time each way.

Just a thought

Thanks Queenslace

We fly in about 4:00 pm and need to get back to the airport at 9:00 am the next morning to pick up a rental car to head to the Cape. Thought if I could stay near the airport I could use their shuttle to pick me up and return me to the airport, and take public transportation into downtown Boston that evening. Trip coming up in September so I have time to plan.

Thanks

Hi,

Please be very cautious about hotels with shuttle service. Most of them run during daylight hours and will serve you no good getting back to your hotel after dark. Many will actually ';advertise'; they have extensive, or even 24 hour shuttle service that really isn%26#39;t true. Also, many of the ';shuttle'; hotels within Boston are so far on the outskirts, in less than desirable neighborhoods, that they use the shuttle as a lure. I suggest looking at a place like the Marriott Newton as a good hotel outside the city with good shuttle service and good T access. The hotel is nice, it%26#39;s in a very safe area and even if the shuttle isn%26#39;t running, a cab is safe, reasonable and quick to get you back at night.

I will say the Marriott Newton does not have airport shuttle service, but nor do even most of the downtown Boston hotels. You can hop on the T at Airport station, take it to Government Center and take the green line outbound all the way to Riverside stop. Cost would be $2 per person. The shuttle runs from the hotel to Riverside stop, not the airport.

Hi mrfuni,

When checking hotels with my travel agent they came up with the Comfort Inn Revere which advertises free shuttle and free parking.You may want to check out the reviews on TA.

Have a great holiday.

The closest off airport property would be the Embassy Suites on Porter Street in East Boston.

The next ones out would be the Holiday Inn Airport and then the Hampton Inn Airport. The Comfort Inn Revere is a good 5 miles away from Logan and sort of in a no man%26#39;s land surrounded by a couple of highway rotaries and a greyhound dog track. They do have a decent Mexican restaurant and there is a pub style place (The 99) which is walkable in about 10 minutes.

Try Priceline or one of the other sites to see whether you can get a cheapo rate.

The Hampton Inn should be OK for your situation. You just need a place to stay after 5 PM and leave by 9 AM. The suggestion of the Newton Marriott is not convenient for your situation. As BeansandCod posted, the hotels, most convenient to Logan Airport, (including the Hampton Inn) are in East Boston. Another option besides the East Boston location would be Revere or Winthrop. Here is a link to Winthrop lodging.

Considering you are talking less than a 15 hour stretch of time, I think the Hampton Inn would be fine. It really is only about 10 minutes or less from the airport. I know their shuttle runs early evening because they bring guests to a local eatery in East Boston that my family likes.

You probably will fare best if you stay on the same side of the tunnel as the airport. If you stay near the airport, you could easily go get the car in the morning and go back to the Hampton and pick up your bags. From there, it%26#39;s the Ted Williams tunnel to 93S to Rte 3S ... avoiding the downtown area all together -- and as long as you have one other person in the car with you, you are entitled to use the %26#39;express%26#39; HOV lane as you exit the tunnel onto 93S. Keep your eyes open, it%26#39;s easy to miss!! (This is not to be confused w/ the %26#39;zipper%26#39; lane which is northbound on weekday mornings and not in use on weekends.)

If the Hampton is booked, consider the Holiday Inn, East Boston or even Suburban Extended Stay in Winthrop.

I wouldn%26#39;t recommend walking from the Comfort Inn to the 99 ... now that the auto-parts store (former site of Bell Oldsmobile/York Ford) has been torn down and something is being built in it%26#39;s place it%26#39;s sort of dark and, in my opinion, a risky area to walk given the amount of traffic there.

Thanks..good info and a lot of help. Joe
