My husband and I will be staying in Boston for 2 nights before boarding our cruise in June. We would like to stay in a reasonably priced hotel within walking distance of main sites and Little Italy. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

You might want to ask on the East Coast Departures board.

What is reasonably priced to you?

Also, Boston doesn't have a Little Italy. It's called the North End. No one will know what you are talking about when asking about Little Italy, but say the North End, and everyone will know.

Boston prices can be quite high, especially in the later summer and autumn months. The transit options in own are very good and the trains have great service out of Boston proper.

Consider staying in a private rental or even out of Boston. We are going to Boston in September and are staying in the Kendall Square area which is across the Charles River not far from Cambridge.

Even there, for 3 nights it's $900+

It would help if we had an idea of your nightly accommodations budget. How much $$?

Also, are you aware of their public transit/train system? The historic sites are not all in one area.

This is good advice. There's tons of precruise hotel advice here on that board.

Boston prices are very high, but you will want to be downtown in my opinion. We've stayed at a couple of the Marriott properties, but got a better deal this time at the Boston Bostonian. Looks nice and its in a great location.

Last November we stayed at Winthrop Beach In and Suites (Boston Logan Airport). The rates were very good and we enjoyed the hotel. Only 30 rooms and it included breakfast. A couple of blocks from the ocean and a really good Italian restaurant where you can bring your own wine (store around the corner). Their web site says Boston Logan airport but it was a taxi ride away (can't remember how much but it was enough $$). The staff were very friendly and helpful. Their web site is www.winthropbeachinn.com

:)We are staying at the Boston Seaport Hotel in August post cruise. It is near the convention center in the up and coming area of Boston. The location is great IMHO. We wanted to be in the thick of downtown but the prices were too high. Staying further out of the city would increase travel time and give us less sightseeing time not to mention the cost of a taxi to the airport. So, we are spending the cost of the taxi for our hotel for convenience and saving time.

You can walk to the hotel from the Falcon Cruise Terminal. Faneuil Hall is about a mile away. There is the local bus that stops at the hotel and gets you to the airport in 10 minutes. The HOHO bus stops at the hotel. For $234/night, it worked best for us. Boston is not inexpensive. The hotel gets great reviews as well. Good luck in making your decision.:):):):)

The Intercontinental Boston is the perfect place to stay pre-cruise. Beautiful hotel, 5-minute walk from South Station, 15-minute walk from the North End and a 10-minute cab ride to the cruise pier.

The OP cruised in 2018. At this point, I'm sure they are all set.
