Any suggestions on a decent hotel in the Boston area?
 

Planning a trip to Boston in a couple weeks time. And searching for a decent hotel to stay at in the area. Not worried about being in the city maybe somewhere on the outskirts.

Not downtown, but not to far out kinda thing.

Any ideas?

Been working in Boston many times, often several weeks in a row. The company I work then always book me here and I consider it acceptable and within fair distance from the downtown Boston area:

Holiday Inn Express Cambridge
250 Monsignor O Brien Hwy
Cambridge, MA 02141, United States
(617) 577-7600

A standard hotel, nothing fancy but a nice liquor store just around a block or two.

I was going to say the 4 Seasons but it is in town.

I can't help you with the hotel room, but I love the Phantom Gourmet. That show makes me want to go to Boston.

Thats funny, a friend recently stayed there and said it was nice :thumbsup

I've been looking at the best western at woburn aswell seems pretty nice. Don't want anything too fancy just going for a long weekend

great city. had a fraternity convention there few years back. I think we stayed in a hotel next to the free mason head quarters

I have stayed here before.
