Boston? (USA not Lincolnshire!!)

[Malinky]

Hi Everyone....
We're off to Boston in May and although we've got flights booked we've currently got nowhere to stay - all the hotels are RIDICULOUSLY expensive!
Has anyone been before? Or can anyone recommend somewhere to stay? Any tips (for anything - not just places to stay!) would be very gratefully received!
I'm very excited - it will be my first holiday as a "thin person" and I can't wait! Just imagine, I'll be able to put that little lunch tray thing on the plane down properly rather then rest it on my belly and I won't need an extended seat belt - I think that (very sadly) I'm more excited about that then the holiday!
Anyway - any advice much appreciated....
Thanks
Maria

Hi Maria, sorry cant give u any personal advice about Boston but there is a very good site called Trip advisor and they have many independent reveiws on appartments and hotels all over the world including Boston.I have used this site on a few occasions and found it very helpful.

United States Tourism - United States Vacation Reviews - United States Vacations - TripAdvisor

Hope this helps u, take care xx

we flew to boston 2yrs ago and stayed in a hotel 3 miles from the airport, but we only stayed one night as we them drove to portland maine, if i can remember the name i will tell you, cant tell you much about boston itself, but i do have a friend who lives there i can ask her anything specific, she is on another board and im sure will be happy to find stuff out for you, i do know the `cheers` bar is there now depending on how old you are you may have not heard of cheers lol

CDthing - I wish I was young enough not to have heard of Cheers - LOL!
Thanks for the help, may well take you (and your friend!) up on your offer after I've spent a bit more time browsing the site Roch suggested!
