    Not a bad price at all for that hotel. Overlooks the Public Garden, right at the end of Newbury Street. Great spot.

    I went on vrbo and was able to get a place in Brookline (on Kent St. actually) for $225/night. First time staying in the city, says it was a 15 minute walk to Fenway. Wondering how true that might be and how the area is? Thanks for any info

    Brookline basically is enveloped by Boston, so you're essentially in Boston...a stone's throw from Fenway, and very accessible by the T (the subway) and lots of good restaurants, etc. You're closer to Fenway than some spots in Boston proper ;)

    Kent Street is reasonably close, 15 minute walk sounds about right.

    Booked a refundable room at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge a couple of weeks ago for $212.00 + taxes/fees.

    Booked the Midtown Hotel which looks to be easy walking distance over to Fenway. For under $200 on a summer weekend in Boston for essentially just a place to crash post-show, had to take that deal.
    Hear My Name, take a good look, this could be the day!

    What site did u book that through? I found it for same price, but when I went to book it, I kept getting an error message. Then I noticed it seemed to be an international web site so wasn't sure how legitimate it was. When I looked on orbitz and other sites, the Taj was around 400 a night. Not sure what the deal is.

    Hotel Commonwealth. I booked a room as soon as the dates were released. I checked recently and the rates are now 125/night higher than when I booked

    I went for the Verb hotel on 8/7...easy stumbling distance to the show and various pubs. Plus, who can't complain about an outdoor pool in the middle of Boston in August during a Pearl Jam concert weekend. If anyone needs to store their pop up shop posters in a safe location before the show, just let me know. LOL

    That place looks super cool -- a total throwback to the 1960s.

    How about the elephant in the room. What about parking? As I and my wife will be driving in and then out after the show to my friend's house out of town.

    Good question and one i would like to know.

    Where is a good place to park, that's not too far to walk to Fenway, but is also a easy route back out to the Mass. TP?
    During Red Sox games the Sheraton Boston in back bay always had parking for $15-20. Might be worth giving them a call at some point and see if they offer the same during concerts. About a 10 minute walk to Fenway and easy access to Mass pike.

    I've used the Prudential Center Garage for games at Fenway before. 10-15 min walk, close to the highway. Usually runs specials during games, not sure about concerts.

    Garage at 100 Clarendon is about a 20 minute walk but the prices are good and it has a ramp directly on to the Pike westbound.

    Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

    Just got a great deal on Hotwire. Fri-Mon (3 nights) 4 star Boston Common - Theater district area boutique hotel for $275 CDN ($195 US) per night. Got the W Boston!

    That deal still seems to be there so anyone booking now will likely get the W for that price.

    Seriously! Your username is how I felt while looking for Boston hotels! :lol:
    Still looking here. Staying with a friend, but hoping to find a reasonable Air Bnb. Not holding my breath, though.

    My hotel is charging me $35.00 for parking. WTF?! It hurts my brain to think that a place to park my car isn't included when I book a hotel room. What else are you doing with the parking lot??
