Mansfield Accomodations

This may have been requested in another thread somewhere, however as I can't find that thread here goes:

Would someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of:

1) a decent but affordable hotel/motel near Mansfield

and

2) is within walking distance of the venue (if this is a possibility, not ever having been to this venue).

Thanks

-Q-

no hotels within walking distance. just do a search of hotels in mansfield or foxboro. there is 4 or 5 that are less then 5 miles away

Thanks, I'll do that.

I booked a holiday inn 15-20 minutes away, north attleboro, at least google maps says its that close, always tough finding a place. Good luck, coming from Ontario.

I usually stay in Framingham, about 30 min. away. One caution though, since it's a monday night show (I'm assuming you're talking about the 6/30 show) you need to be REALLY careful about getting stuck in rush hour traffic on the way to the show. I-495 is generally bumper to bumper any weekday evening. I'll be keeping an eye on traffic reports in the coming weeks to get a sense of just how tricky it's going to be.

Actually considering the saturday night show...but thanks for the heads-up!

There is a Red Roof Inn in Mansfield which is probably closest but still not walking distance. Anything in Foxboro is pretty close by.

yikes, too expensive.

I'm staying at the RRI, your hotel is within walking distance, I'll see you in the bar!

we should consider having the pre party there.

I just booked my hotel this afternoon.

Gonna be staying in a Best Western about 15 mins outside of Boston and 30 mins from Mansfield... nice spot... gonna drive there from the Hartford show... check out Boston Saturday morning into early afternoon, then go to the show. Looking forward to it.... very reasonable, nice play about 80 bucks a night.

not good help to the original post but tf green airport and providence are a much better option than boston and logan

fuck

I actually need some help for Mansfield. I'm going on June 30th for the show, but I plan on staying at a hotel in Boston so that I can also check out the city while I'm there... anyone know how I can make the ride to and from the show? I know it's like 30-45 minutes away and won't have a ride there... my friends and I aren't really looking forward to taking a cab... any suggestions?

We're in the same boat - flying in from Toronto on Sunday staying in Boston all week - haven't figured out yet how we'll get to the show and back on Monday - any ideas or hook ups are appreciated - if we get enough of us, I'll drive a school bus there - any takers on driving it back!

let's keep talking...

Is there anything in Mansfield....good pubs or bars? Restaurants? I also heard that exiting the parking lot is a nightmare....tips to avoid this?

Pay the money, if you want to, and park in the first pay-to-park VIP lot you see that is just outside the entrance on the right.

I've been stuck in that lot for 3 hours after a show. It's not pretty. 3-4 lots that all feed into 2 exiting lanes.

I hate that....I will not leave early to avoid the jam. So.....you are saying that if I pay to park in the 1st VIP parking lot....just outside the entrance on the right I should be able to avoid the huge exiting jam?

Yes. There are 2 VIP lots, at least as of last summer, but one is slightly inside the complex, whereas the one you see from the main road is outside and avoids the exit lanes altogether. You might get backed up for a few mins, but they are usually good at waving through 20-30 cars at a time from the VIP lot. The entrance to 495 is RIGHT there when you take a left outside of the VIP lot.

Be ready to pay though. Every year the price goes up to park there. It was $20 a few years ago. I heard rumors of $40 this year. Ugh.
