I don't stay at many of these since I'm local but I did stay at the BostonHarbor Hotel for a wedding last month and it was fabulous. It is VERY pricy but is close to all of the big tourist attractions. There are more reasonable hotels in the $200-250 range nearby.

Boston is a small city and easy to get around. The two hotels closest to the pier are the Westin Convention Center and the Seaport. However, the location is boring. Almost any other hotel will be located near something interesting.

 

See what you can find - October is a tough month. People are attending parent's weekends, fall sporting events, and leaf watching. Just ask again when you have some specific hotels.

We stayed at the Comfort Inn, Logan Airport and it is very nice. They have a restaurant in the hotel (Mexican & not owned by the hotel which is really good). The free breakfast is also very nice with eggs & waffles etc. They have a shuttle from the airport but will not take you to the pier. This hotel is in Revere right next to the Necco Candy plant.

 

If you have a car the best bet is the Best Western in Quincey. It is further from Boston BUT they will park your car for the week and take you to the pier. I have never stayed there. They also have a restaurant and offer an airport shuttle.

 

Hope this helps

The InterContinental at 510 Atlantic Ave is a VERY nice choice. DW and I stayed there for a Steely Dan concert, and I got a great room for $199+tax. I found it through kayak.com. :o

If you're coming in a few days early, you don't have to stay near the cruise ship terminal. Anywhere near Copley Square and you're rigt in the action. Fairmount Copley or Westin or even the Back Bay Sheraton. Or try the Harborside Inn or Marriot Custom House to be near the water. My sister stayed at the Harborside and enjoyed it. A great new place is the Liberty Hotel--used to be a jail. If you are trying to save money and need to stay outside of the city, be sure to be on the subway line (T), the Blue Line for north of the city near the airport or the red line for south of the city.

Hi -

I just posted a message about avoiding the Best Western Adams Inn in Quincy. My message is at the "east coast departures" section of the message boards. You might want to read it before reserving this hotel. We found it entirely unsatisfactory.

What kind of stuff do you look for in a city? Restaurants, shopping, oceanfront, inexpensive, museums? How much luxury do you want? What's your tolerance for mass transit and walking?

 

I second what everyone else has said, if you've got the option, do not stay by the port. The hotels there serve the convention facility, but there's not much else there, not for many years to come. Stay somewhere else and take a cab on your way to the ship.

We stayed at the Hilton in the Business District -- within walking distance to Quincy Market, Fiennel (?) HAll and lots of restaurants and shops.
