Hotels near Logan Airport - BOS, Boston

I loved everything about the hotel. Unfortunately, they charge for parking. This was not disclosed when I booked it and when my husband saw the pending charge on the credit card, I was told it would come off because it was already part of the fee through booking.com. While $15 will not break the bank, in the future I would probably choose another hotel based on principle. I don't appreciate surprise expenses when I travel.

They have a very nice fine arts museum. I love their public library. Good parks downtown and the Charles River is good to walk by. I taught US History, so Boston's history as the beginning point of the American Revolution is always worth learning about. Traffic is bad in places, but Boston has alot of neighborhoods that feel more pedestrian friendly, including many crosswalks where the cars actually do stop for you to cross. They have a pretty good bus and subway system to get around the city. I'll be back.

We didn't visit Chelsea during the day, just got some take out food one of the nights (there are options not too far from the hotel). For what we saw around the hotel, it didn't strike me as a particularly beautiful area, but it's a short drive to Boston, and very close to the airport (but we didn't hear any plane noise.) We didnt explore public transportation options to Boston, but my impession is that can be a hustle. However it'ss close to Boston, so if you have a car is a short drive and my guess is that a taxi or Uber should be affordable too.

Winthrop was a great town! We walked to the yacht clubs and Deer Island - enjoyed the beach front, picking up shells and clams, and the local restaurants had some pretty good food! Try D'Parma and Woody's! Bus transportation was great (except on Sunday) so we didn't need a rental to get anywhere we wanted.

The location was the best part of our stay . Room service wasn't available and the hotel bar was closed our entire week stay . The pool only goes to 5ft and we were told by maintenance (after 10 minutes in our room)they didnt have the channel the Red Sox/Yankee game was on only to find out the next day it was on the wrong input (my husband figured it out) Our room had a dirty cup on the bathroom floor under our towel shelve and the last guests pocket change under our ice bucket tray . We've stayed at cheaper hotels and had better service/cleanliness. This stay cost over a thousand dollars and just wasn't worth it.

The city was very easy to navigate, it felt smaller and more manageable than expected. The T train was exceptionally easy to use and we always felt safe while riding it. There was a restaurant around every corner that took care of all of our hunger needs. We did a lot of walking and investigating - Our top 4 spots; 1) MFA - amazing! What an art collection! Easy to navigate and beautiful! 2) JFK Presidental Library - amazing! don't miss it! 3) Lexington and Concord - worth every moment, take the guided tour on the trolley! Loved it! 4) Harvard Museum of Natural History - check out the hand blown glass botanical collection and the Earth & Planetary Sciences exhibit! Every location reachable by the T. We will be back for more
