陶樂園的家

Boston is a name that many associate with worldwide repute as an established cultural and academic hub. Walk down the streets of Boston and you will be instantly charmed and fascinated by the quaint architecture, lush greenery in the parks and gardens, historical landmarks, and of course, the most prestigious universities in the world including Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

If you decide to explore this incredible city on a budget, you might be wondering if there are many budget accommodation choices in a place where signs of luxury and prestige, including the biggest luxury hotel chains, are prominent everywhere. You will thus be glad to discover a decent range of cheap Boston hotels that are not only value for money, but also provide easy access to the city's many sightseeing, dining, sporting and entertainment options.

Looking for a modestly priced lodging that provides a satisfactory guest experience in Boston? You will certainly not be disappointed by the budget to mid-ranged accommodation you can find throughout the city, as these hotels provide an intimate ambience at an affordable price. The charming character of Boston is certainly reflected in the furnishings and dcor of these hotels, while you can enjoy the comfort and basic amenities that are adequate in leaving you feeling well-rested and ready to continue your exploration of the city.

When planning your trip to Boston, it is best to consult the events calendar as hotel occupancy rates usually rise sharply during certain popular events and festivals such as Independence Day, Patriot's Day and the Boston Marathon. As Boston boasts several top universities in the city, it is also to be expected that the graduation weekend towards the end of May will also result in more people streaming into the city to attend the ceremonies, resulting in less available rooms as well.

If you want to get the best rates as well as a room in the downtown hotel of your choice, it is thus especially crucial that you book well in advance if your visit takes place during these time periods. All is not lost if you fail to secure a room however, as there are more cheap accommodation options in the suburban areas of the city which are also well-served by Boston's public transportation network.

One main advantage of Boston is that it is a relatively small city, which makes it easier to explore the various attractions within walking distance of each other. This is why the downtown and Back Bay areas are especially recommended if you would prefer to be located close to these sights. You may be thinking that there may be less cheap accommodation options close to the city centre, but you would be surprised by the diverse types of budget accommodation that exist alongside their more outstanding luxury counterparts. You can find bed and breakfasts, motels and mid-ranged hotels near the city centre which allow you to pick something that suits your tastes and budget.

For business travelers, I especially recommend the downtown area, also known as the financial district, as there are numerous accommodations and business facilities specifically catered to the needs of busy executives. Tourists can choose to stay in either the downtown or Back Bay areas as both locations are well-connected by Boston's public transport network which includes the subway and trolley.

Here, you will also find endless options to keep you well-fed and entertained - cafes, restaurants, bars, shopping centres and historical landmarks. Arts buffs can also benefit from staying in these areas as the theatre district is just a stone's throw away.
