We are at the inn at Longwood. It's about a 10 min walk to Fenway by all the hospitals. About 200 or so a night, nothing special but has a bed, bathroom and looks clean....
I booked a room at Hotel Commonwealth for 4 (wife, 2 kids and me) when the price was in a "normal" range in January (330 dollars per night). I arrive on the day of the first show, so I wanted some hotel in the very near to Fenway Park. 4 weeks left...

Who is staying there, too?
If you're a Booking.com "genius", you could get a king room there for $1,223 for August 5-8 ($408/night) for anyone who's interested. "Cheaper" then when I was looking a few months ago, still not cheap though. But seems like a good option if you want to be close to Fenway. I have a Fenway-facing room reserved, just trying to decide if I want to splurge or if I want to go a cheaper route. Can't beat rolling to and from the venue within minutes though, and the Fenway view is a plus!
The Four Seasons is also doing a 3 nights for the price of 2 deal. It's my favourite hotel in Boston, but too spendy for me.
Quick question for you Boston folk. Taking my wife there for our first trip to Boston and want to obviously stay somewhere decent. My only concern with staying somewhere like the theater district or harbor front is trying to get back to our hotel from Fenway after show. Will it be tough to get a train back? How long of a trip is it? Maybe we should look in the Copley square area? Thanks so much.
Don't stay in the Theatre District (fka the Combat Zone). It's not nice..
This simply is not true.
Agreed. Its no better or worse than any other part of the city at this point. In terms of tourism, its pretty centrally located to everything, and you can catch a red, green, or orange line train. Some great bars/restaurants right in the area too. If you can find a deal there, then I would go for it.
In terms of post-Fenway trains... just grab a beer after the show, and it will die down. Trains run until 1230pm, and the show will end at 1100pm at the latest (the curfew is either 1030pm or 1100pm depending on the permit). Or grab an Uber/Lyft/Fasten (thanks to these guys, its easy and cheap to get around the city).
I hope you you enjoy the city!
Me? I think a male hooker in drag trying to hide his erection under a tight silver sequins dress is a hilarious sight that makes life worth living.
.
What can I say? I was excited about how the dress showed off my contours.
When I was there a few summers ago... we stayed at the Colonnade. It features a rooftop pool which was nice and we walked back and forth to Fenway for ball games.

It might be worth a shot.
Stayed at the Colonnade when I ran the Marathon a few years back.

You get a free rubber ducky with your room!
You ran the marathon? Here I thought you were some kind of dork or something!
Im debating the Collonade, because man that pool. Or the Bostonian, which is far, but an amazing hotel.
Anyone know how mass transit is there? Especially after that Sunday night show. My concern is getting back to the hotel if far. You guys all walking, Ubering?

Bostonian is a straight shot on the green line from Fenway (probably about a 30-minute ride from station to station, Kenmore to Haymarket), but you could probably walk there faster than it would take you to wait for a train that isn't too crowded to board.
The Colonnade would be more convenient, but you wouldn't even get to take advantage of the pool at night (which is when it's most awesome, imho) since you'll likely be at the shows, preparties, etc.
I just booked the express deal through Priceline and selected the Fenway, Newton area 3.5 stars. The hotel that I got is the Crown Plaza which Is like 12 mins from Fenway staying sun-weds and it was around $530. Not too bad of a price.
Its an art to live w/ pain

Bagging rays and drinking beers poolside along the skyline before the show would be rather pleasant though.
My vote is for the Colonnade. I'm envious as hell. I have to deliberate the gong show Pemberton experience and you guys do prime time.
We are staying in Waltham. Its like a 20 minutes train ride to Fenway (from what I am told anyhow)
