If I want to spend shabbos in Boston, is my best bet the courtyard Marriott in coolidge corner? I want to be within the eruv but was hoping for a nicer hotel.

thanks

It's not a bad bet. You aren't going to find much better if at all, in the eruv. 

Anyway, you should stay in Brighton.

yes. The only other brands name hotels that are in the Eruv are Homewood suites (near Maimonides shul), Holiday Inn Brookline (near YIB) Crowne Plaza Newton (half way in the Eruv) and enVision (near Maimonides)

Thanks. Homewood might not be a bad option for shabbos since it presumably has a kitchen

Adams Street shul is less than a mile. All Newton shuls and Rabbi Halperns shul in Brighton are about 1.75 mi.
