Boston Hotel Rooms

Re: Boston Hotel Rooms

Keep in mind, the parking garage under the Garden and the garage across the street now charge $42 to park. Thursday is a regular work day so space will be limited and I think the event parking charge starts two hours before game time. There will be other places to park nearby - Government Center garage for one. I heard the rates there went up to $30. But again, Thursday is a work day so you may need to time it so you get there later and not get charged twice - regular day parking and then event parking.

While there are still some significant snow piles, much of it is gone, especially in the city. The regular T is pretty much back and I think the last I saw the Commuter Rail is up to 87% functional. Should be back to normal (?) by the time the FF rolls around.

Not sure what the allure of that package is. The Westin Copley is on Expedia during that same timeframe at $383. Similar level hotel, Hilton Back Bay is $303. The F&B credit is a nice touch. Would be enough for breakfast for 2, but not enough to make up for the difference in room rates elsewhere. If you are flying in, the valet parking is worthless.

For that price it should come with a complimentary hand job ($99.95 daily value).

If anyone wants to give me a ticket to the game, I've got an extra bedroom in my apartment. Complimentary HJ *not* included, sorry Dirty.

I'd be sold if there was going to be a complimentary ZJ involved.

ZJ? Must be a Lowell thing. Not sure I want to ask.

Of course that $50 food and beverage credit is probably a bottle of water and a bag of chips at most Boston hotels.

If you got to ask you can't afford it.

Out of these hotels, the Ames and Langham are within walking distance to the Garden (10 and 15 minutes, respectively). The Park Plaza is undergoing massive renovations, hence the heavily discounted rate. All of these hotels are in excellent locations to enjoy a long weekend in Boston.

Re: Boston Hotel Rooms

I'll throw it out here for anyone who can give me some advice - how easy(??) would it be to get a cab after the last game Thursday or after the Saturday game during this type of event? I vividly recall wandering around the sports complex in Philadelphia last April with some other UMaine fans for about an hour, watching cab after cab race by us to pick up other groups. It was frustrating at the time - later we laughed and called it a "memorable experience in Philadelphia!"

I know this isn't specifically about cabs, but the T runs until like 3 AM on Friday and Saturday nights for the drunk college kids. So that won't be a problem. On Thursday the last one is probably at 12:45 or so, so uyou'll be fine unless it goes into super overtime. I left after midnight from the Beanpot after game 1 went into double OT and slightly earlier after the championship and consolation games both went into OT, and had no problems with trains either time. So in all likelihood you wouldn't need one.

Re: Boston Hotel Rooms

FiveHole12 and Crimson on the Glass: Thank you so much for the insider info. I can just see our group after midnight waiting for a train that might not come?

If you're in the station at 12:15-12:30, you're fine. Once it hits 12:45-1:00, then it gets dicey. There are also apps/websites that track trains on the Orange line, and above-ground Green Line stops.

Park at the relatively new Assembly Row complex. It's free, Orange Line adjacent, and a 10 minute ride or less to the Garden.
