    Anyone have thoughts on Sheraton vs Hilton in Back Bay?

    Been to meetings at both but never stayed in either. From my experience they are exactly what you would expect. Maybe a little older but nice enough. They are right across the street from each other and in a great location for Fenway.
    Thanks! Debating between one of these or paying a bit more for the Commonwealth that's closer to Fenway. Hotels in Boston aren't cheap!
    Join the commonwealth party if it's in the budget. Never stayed here but it's super close and heard great things. I lucked out and booked it before a 60% price increase.
    Considering... :)
    I've stayed in both the Sheraton and the Hilton, and I prefer the Hilton. Rooms are nicer, and you avoid most of the convention crowd.

    The Commonwealth was the final nail in the coffin that buried Kenmore Square, so I have scruples.

    But I hear it's nice.

    who's hosting the pool party?

    Any action at the beaches over by Doubletree Bayside? may be getting a couple days in at the beach Thursday and Saturday.

    Damn you, I had all but decided on the Sheraton, I'm partial to Starwood Hotels because they treat me nice :)

    Although, now contemplating a splurge on the Mandarin! :D

    Hey Bostonians. Question for you. Staying at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge for the Fenway shows. Is this walk to and from doable and safe at night? I imagine the path up Commonwealth Avenue along the university is best. Need advice as I will be with the Mrs.

    Worst case, hopefully we can cab it. Thanks!imagephoto Hyatt to Fenway_zpsiwr8o4t2.jpg" />

    Its do-able, but a bit long. Going down Mountfort Street after you cross the B.U. Bridge and crossing Beacon and cutting through the parking lot will be a little more direct and quicker than going down Comm. Ave. (as it says there it would save you about 2 minutes), should be a fairly safe route either way. Just have to be careful crossing memorial Drive and Comm. Ave, busy roads.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    On Mass Ave? I wouldn't recommend it. Not the best area.

    I've never stayed there but we used to recommend it to clients when I worked in the area. The Globe (pretty good bar) is no more than two or three doors away. Plus you are right on Boylston Street and right in Copley Square. At least 10-15 bars in a 4 or 5 block radius...many of them between you and Fenway.
