Any advice on where to stay?  I have never been to Boston...I just need a relatively easy path from hotel to Fenway.  Any help appreciated.

    Actually there are more hotels available then when I checked the other day....I booked the Holiday Inn Brookline, one of the better ones available and appears to be about a 20 minute walk to Fenway

    If you want to save money check out Airbnb or VRBO.  Prices can be HALF as much as hotels.

    I got an AirBNB (tiny apartment in Beacon Hill) for $550US for 3 nights.  Can walk to Fenway in 30 mins or take cheap Uber, Lyft or Fasten (there are 3 car sharing apps in Boston, Fasten is local to Boston).  Worked out to $688 CDN for me.  My wife couldn't believe how expensive it was but I told her this is cheap compared to most Boston hotels.  So expensive i decided to come in on Sunday morning rather than Saturday.  Will have all day Monday to explore Boston.

    Is the Westin Copley place a good place to stay to catch the Sunday concert and sightseeing for a couple of day?

    That's where i stayed in 2016 and it was an excellent location. I think it was about a 15 minute walk to Fenway, and tons of stuff to see in the area (steps to Boston Commons/the Public Garden, Newbury, etc.). I don't know the city well at all, but I had a great experience.

    anyone have suggestions on staying at either Revere Hotel Boston or Copley Square hotel? First timer to Boston and staying 4 nights to explore the city.

    Cambridge is definitely nice in general but you'd have to be more specific. For me it would also depend on how you plan to get to/from the show. If you want to be able to take the train then Cambrige isn't as convenient just because it would involve taking the red line into town then switching to the green to go out to Fenway. If you plan on getting an uber or something that doesn't matter as much though.

    I booked 4 nights at Abigayle's Bed and Breakfast through bnbboston.com.

    Very near to Kenmore Station and Fenway Park, a 5 minutes walk.

    175 US Dollars in a double room per night, very good breakfast included. Good Tripadvisor feedback.

    You can only book it through bnbboston.com- and they still have vacancy for early September!

    I stayed at the Crowne Plaza in Newton for '16 Fenway II and it was very reasonably priced (about $140), but Labor Day week will likely have a bigger price tag .  There was a bus line that went right to Fenway just across the street and also across the street is Buff's Pub which has awesome wings

    We are booked at the Copley Square Hotel......the basic rooms seem to be a bit on the smaller side, per the reviews I have read.

    We got a good rate on Getaroom.com

    Anyone know if Longwood is a decent neighborhood to stay (if it’s even a neighborhood)? I just want to be a short Uber ride to Fenway, restaurants, bars, etc. And a safe neighborhood of course.
