We take our cars to Hondaa King on Western Ave in Cambridge. Not sure if they do tires. Honest and fair priced for mechanic stuff.

Seems far from you.  There's someone in Newton that like half my office uses. But forgot their name.

It's only a mile from MIT--find out if the Hillel will have a minyan that week. Caution: Their minyan was a bit spotty when I lived near there.

I'd also google distance to the BU Hillel (and confirm they have a minyan that week). Also I believe there is a chabad towards that direction, but I don't know the name.

 chabad of Kenmore square . This is probably your closest option for a minyan.
Or Young Israel of Brookline is only 1.3 mi. away

As others have said, the Chabad in Kenmore Square is spitting distance.
Also, the Young Israel of Brookline is a very easy walk, 1.3 miles.

Note that the hotel is OUTSIDE the eruv.

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
