Boston Airport - accomodation

[AFingerofFudge]

Planning a trip in late June arriving into Boston Logan Airport. All the hotels at the airport (we're getting in very late at night so just need somewhere to crash before starting our holiday "properly" the next day) seem to be outrageously expensive. It's for me, DH and 3 DC's. Any recommendations or ideas please??

Boston airport is very close to the city centre, probably 10-ish minutes in a cab to downtown?! Unless you’re not actually staying in Boston for the rest of your holiday I’d just extend whatever you’re hotel you’re planning on booking for the rest of the trip.

Downtown hotels will be expensive. If you are looking for a one night only thing then look at hotels in Chelsea or Revere - close to airport but not fashionable. I think there is a holiday inn in chelsea very close to the airport.

Agree with pp though - logan is close to city so if you have accomodation in Boston for the rest of your holiday, I'd just head there.

The airport is really close to the city centre. We took public transport and that was about 20 minutes door to door. A cab might be better.

We stayed at the Godfrey Hotel.

If you are just grown ups I suggest a dinner at Yvonne’s.

It takes us 10 - 15 minutes in an Uber from Logan to where we live downtown. Downtown Boston Hotels are all expensive. Where are you heading the next day? Do you need to get back to the airport to pick up a hire car? Looking for hotels in the opposite direction to downtown, so Revere and Chelsea might work. The cheaper hotels outside the city centre will take much longer to get to, Boston is odd on that you don't go through suburbs to get to the city centre from the airport, the tunnel brings you up into it.

Thanks for the replies. We're heading to Cambridge the next day for a few days. Then we're hiring a car when we leave town and we head to Halifax in Nova Scotia. Will sort out accommodation on the way, it was just the first night I wanted to book in advance!

I'd go straight to your accomodation in Cambridge. It is 15 mins max from the airport.

We went to Nova Scotia a couple of years ago (ferry from Portland Me). I loved it.

Cambridge and Boston are pretty much contiguous - just the river between them.

Late at night, 20 minutes maximum to Cambridge, I really wouldn’t bother staying near the airport, the worst part of the journey will be getting out of the airport itself, which can be very congested. Uber or Lyft are cheaper than a taxi, you can order large cars.
