    Last week booked an apartment at Global Luxury Suites Back Bay. 
    Seems nice, and in a good location. I hope....

    Verb Hotel, kind of pricey for what it is...think it was like $300/night for what looks like Best Western standard, but the room looks onto Fenway, so that sold it for me!

    You're close... its used to be a Howard Johnson's!  I think the band actually stayed there back in the 90s.  Anyway, totally renovated now, decent pool, pretty nice restaurant, and its literally one block from Fenway.  $300/night is a pretty good rate, all things considered.  Enjoy!

    I'm here too.  I stayed there in 2016 and it was an easy walk to Fenway and there's a killer dive bar 200' from the entrance.

    I proposed to my wife there after the "Leash" show in 2006. We were at the same table where we had our first date in 2000.

    That was always our local when we lived in the Fens. It was like our second home.

    Two separate airbnb's as we have to go home in between shows (damn kids). Sunday night, we are about a mile away, right off of Brookline Ave.  Pre-gamed at the Yard House last time, but it was mobbed.  Might look for something else this time. 
    Tuesday night, just as close, but over by the Prudential Center.  Somebody recommended the Five Horses Tavern, which looks pretty good.

    I hope there’s a good dive bar close to Westin Copley Place too. Being able to stumble back to the hotel after a night cap would be a bonus.

    Five Horses is solid.  great taplist and solid "upscale" pub food.  It's pricey, but it's to be expected in that area.  Also check out The Parish cafe for some of the best sandwiches in the city and a solid draft list too.

    Super 8 in Watertown, was the cheapest I could find ( about $145 after tax) and there are buses nearby to both Fenway and Cambridge areas.  I used to live around there so I'm looking forward to checking out my old watering holes in the early afternoon before the show.

    Im staying there on Saturday and Sunday night before moving to the Porter square hotel. I'm fine with being a few miles outside of town. We should meet up while we're there!

    Awesome! Thanks for the info, and your comment makes me feel a lot better about the price. I'm Canadian, so that works out to about $400 CAD a night. For 5 nights, it makes me a little sick, but after going in 2016 and having the best PJ concert of my life, I decided that it would be nice to be so close, especially for soundcheck and merch lines.
