There's the Newton Marriot, which is right over by Riverside T station. Or is that not the Marriot? I forget now.



Being on the T is mandatory. I would strongly recommend NOT renting a car from the airport. Parking will cost you $30 - $40 per day in the city and you DO NOT want to drive here. Also, we do not want you to drive here.



Is there a youth hostel in town? I live here, so I haven't needed to rent a room since I was living at my mom's house and needed a place to bang my girlfriend. And that was in the 'burbs.

Not sure if I can get more than 1 or two rooms at that rate, but if they're doubles, then you could put two of the same sex in each room. Unless it's trixxie or Declan.

"Hello, and welcome to Boston's finest and most luxurious youth hostel. We feature one medium sized room containing 70 beds which can sleep up to 375 bodies a night. There is no bathroom. Nor is there one nearby. If you do not wish to have your valuables stolen I suggest destroying them or discarding them right now. You can also try hiding your valuables. In your anus. This will deter some but of course not all thieves. Once you are inside, the doors are chained and locked from the outside. They will not be opened again until morning, no matter what. Should a fire occur due to our faulty wiring or, uh, the fireworks factory upstairs you will be incinerated along with the valuables that you have hidden in your anus. Tips are greatly appreciated."

While doing a little research, I came across this.

Apparently the Fenway Summer Hostel is a Boston University dorm during the year. They have dorm rooms and private rooms (1-3 persons). The rates shown on the website look pretty good to me, and they also have group rates that we can inquire about.



The address is 575 Commonwealth Ave, on the BU campus, and it's near a T line. I would like to know what the Boston GABbers think of this location.



Note: It's pretty close to Fenway Park, and the Red Sox will be in town that week-end, so it might full of baseball fans.

1 person: $66

2 people: $79

2 people in a suite with a sofa bed (secret 3rd person): $119



There cannot be 4 people, so I will also provide options for at least one more place to stay.

When we went to Vegas we exited the Mirage and walked for hours to the downtown area to see the Fremont Experience.

So I guess what I'm saying is, put the bar visit near the hotel and our drunk asses can walk it.

Only problem is that I will have a bonafide panic attack if forced to fly without my mate and that's an extra plane ticket. All the money in the Gab account could barely cover both our seats. Then there's lodging and if we somehow miraculously cover the plane tickets we won't have anything leftover for a room or trivial, unimportant things like...food.
