The Sheraton Boston 6,000 + 110 per night or 16k per night...
The Westin Coplay 20k per night

other wise Aloft Westin or Element are on the same block near airport
not sure which is better area to be in in terms of getting in and out to places Seaport or Cambridge
but advantage Seaport that its on route and near your departure and arrival airport
thanks the sheraton just became available for my dates so i booked there for 12k per night. hope its nice...

Not sure what the hype was about taam china but they are so out of town. They dont even give you rice with your main. The szechuan crispy chicken was very good and the general gau wasnt too great. Anyone have a better place for tommorow?

waterfront is near the airport
I was going to stay there i ended up at the aloft because of the lobby and bar and my BIL was going to be there

but if i was going alone for a few days i would prob opt to be in town at the sheraton its centrally located

Thanks,going with wife and kid, but DW in general doesn't like sheratons because of past experiences. Is this sheraton nicer than others?

I'm not sure me myself i never stayed there

aloft was nice but its like a self serve hotel
westin was my first bet
and for family might be nice

but it had a very corporate dry feel from the pics

not sure about other sheratons but this one pretty nice. The room was pretty small but not sure if other hotels in the area have any bigger regular rooms
