Trying to Please Everyone

We are planning a family trip to Boston this summer. My husband is looking for a quiet vacation, a nice room, with a good view of the water. My teenage daughter wants to be close to shopping, restaurants and the subway so that she and I can explore the city easily. Any ideas on hotels that would best satisfy them both?

Thanks for your suggestions!

If you want a good view of the water, a place that can be quiet, and one that%26#39;s convenient to shopping, restaurants and the subway, I would opt for either the Boston Harbor Hotel or the Marriott Long Wharf.

I agree with AlanM. Those are great hotels.

Another option would be the Marriott Residence Inn at Tudor Wharf. Tudor Wharf is in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston, it%26#39;s right on the water, and it%26#39;s a short walk over the North Washington Street Bridge into the North End/North Station area. Once over the bridge take a right onto Causeway St and North Station (comuter rail, subway) will be 200 yards up the street. Visit mbta.com for all public transport info.

Healy,

One of their criteria was to be near the subway.

Hi,

The Long Wharf or the Marriott Custom House hotel would both have great water views, and are within a block of the Subway and Quincy Market.

If your budget allows, you can go more upscale at the InterContinential or the Boston Harbor Hotel, which are both on the harbor, near shopping and the T as well.

go to the marriott long wharf. near aquarium blue line stop (blue line is not the greatest in fairness but it%26#39;ll get you going.) hotel is right next to the re-planted and quaint christopher columbus waterfront park, 5 mins walk to north end, 5 mins walk to quincy market, 3 mins walk to the aquarium, 1 minute walk to the ferries to take you to the harbor islands and the uss constitution as well as p-town and hingham. there are nice restauarants too.

Thanks so much for your help! We have reservations at the Mariott Long Warf. For others planning trips, don%26#39;t forget to check the chain%26#39;s web site and check their rates. We were able to get a summer getaway rate and saved $500 total over the rates presented by the travel sites.
