    I booked through Expedia after booking my flight and received 29% off. This place looks like a run down retirement home on the outside, but the inside looks decent and clean. The place is located on a lake 20-25 minutes outside of Boston. A comuter rail is 1 mile from the inn and takes you to North Station and from there you can take the green line to Fenway (according to the hotel). May have to uber back bc not sure how late comuter rail is open. The place is advertising an outdoor pool, cornhole, an onsite restaurant and tavern with "nightly entertainment" and pool tables. LL Bean uses their property to launch kayaks so kayak rentals are supposedly available on site. 

    I booked 4 nights with taxes, fees and hot breakfast buffet for $258 total.

    Again, that is with a 29% off discount, but rooms look to be around $80 a night without a discount.  Seems like a laid back, low cost option to chill out in between shows and sight seeing. A couple other PJ fans have booked as well. Might be a whole lotta fun if other fans book here as well.
    If they have shuffleboard at the PJ retirement hotel, you may catch a few more takers! (I'm only teasing because the retirement home description made me laugh.)

    Don't forget to check out Brookline! That's where I live, only about a mile from Fenway. There are quite a few Airbnb's as well as more traditional BnB's and hotels around that wouldn't be too far from the show. Here are a couple regular BnB's that are right by my place near Coolidge Corner. It's a great area, lots to do/eat, only a mile or so to Fenway, and an easy ride on the T into the rest of the city. If you're looking on a budget they may be cheaper than the big hotels, especially if you're okay with a shared bathroom.

    Coolidge Corner Guest House
    Samuel Sewall Inn
    Bertram Inn

    *Edit: I've also stayed at this "airbnb hotel" before I moved here and had a good experience. There are quite a few rooms for rent in the building

    Oasis guest house.  About a 10 minute walk at most to Fenway.  Stayed there in 2016 and was awesome.  Room with shared bathroom / fees is about 150 a night total. 
    If you have a chance to make life better for others, and fail to do so, you are wasting your time on this earth.

    We're staying at the Doubletree Suites in Cambridge - bringing the kids so we have a two room suite booked.  Stayed there two times before and pretty happy with it.  They have a free shuttle all day that goes to all of the tourist spots and its a $10 cab ride to Fenway.

    I have been to the bar of this hotel before. Weird place it has some people who seem to live there long term. The bar is plain but can be fun. Good luck!
