Boston: good cheap hotels and Labor Day availability?

[DebJ]

Hi! Can anyone recommend a hotel in Boston, or within 5 miles, with good rates in a SAFE area? We don't need anything fancy: basic clean, a bed that doesn't sag, air conditioning and a private bathroom is all we are looking for.

Appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks.
Deb

any hotel should have those features, its all about the price

2. thanks. As for these features, we backpacked thru Europe two yrs

ago....no a.c. anywhere, one room with bathroom shared by 8 rooms on the floor, and one bed that collapsed! LOL worth it though...

3. sounds like an adventure :)

Boston is strictly upscale luxury... a night costs what a week on that trip would cost.

4. It was wonderful! Very fast, many cities: London, Paris, Rome,

Interlocken, Switzerland, Ruan,France, Nice, back to London.

9. It was in a hostel in Interlocken, Sweden. Twin beds. My hubby

weighs 320 lbs (6'7"). His twin bed crashed. So I just pulled my mattress onto the floor with him. We never got a bill for the bed...whew!

I can give you a ride to & from the Cape. We have about 16 folks who are coming. We have most of the logistics worked out.

8. Boston Harbor Hotel is like $400 a night-at least

there are some great boutique hotels in Boston. There's also the Colonnade, which has the city's only rooftop pool.

11. Concierge Kathy to the rescue!

Great selections. I might also add the big chain hotels if only for a good rate as well as a Back Bay location:
Sheraton Boston
The Westin, Copley Place
The Marriott, Copley Place

The Charlesmark s a great hotel, by the way.
