chinacat Posted April 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2014 We are arriving the night before our Oct. 24 cruise via Amtrak. Arrival is 9pm so we are looking for relatively (under $200) inexpensive hotel nearby. Since its just a place to rest our heads we dont require anything fancy, only clean and safe. On a side note does anyone know if taxis are readily available at that station in the evening? Thanks in advance - so much great info on these boards.

chengkp75 Posted April 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Taxis are available at South Station just about any time of the day. I'm sure 138East will post up here with usually very good hotel suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare babs135 Posted April 4, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Don't laugh but have a look at the YMCA! Seriously though, the building houses a theatre and Hotel 140 as well as the YMCA. We stayed there several years ago and were pleasantly surprised at the place. If I remember correctly breakfast was included and the comment was made by one of the diners that it was very popular with people on their way to work.

138east Posted April 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'm seeing our favorite Hotwire Waterfront hotel for $197 plus tax for Oct 23. This is highly likely to be the Westin Waterfront. If not, it can only be the Seaport or Renaissance. This is a quick cab ride from South Station for under $10 and another quick cab ride to the pier the following morning. It will be more than $200, but you will save a bit of cab money because the hotel is almost exactly between South Station and the pier. If you can manage your luggage, the Silver Line bus can take you within a block of the hotel and also from the hotel to directly in front of the pier.
