Hotels near Logan Airport - BOS, Boston

We didn't visit Chelsea during the day, just got some take out food one of the nights (there are options not too far from the hotel). For what we saw around the hotel, it didn't strike me as a particularly beautiful area, but it's a short drive to Boston, and very close to the airport (but we didn't hear any plane noise.) We didnt explore public transportation options to Boston, but my impession is that can be a hustle. However it'ss close to Boston, so if you have a car is a short drive and my guess is that a taxi or Uber should be affordable too.

The city was very easy to navigate, it felt smaller and more manageable than expected. The T train was exceptionally easy to use and we always felt safe while riding it. There was a restaurant around every corner that took care of all of our hunger needs. We did a lot of walking and investigating - Our top 4 spots; 1) MFA - amazing! What an art collection! Easy to navigate and beautiful! 2) JFK Presidental Library - amazing! don't miss it! 3) Lexington and Concord - worth every moment, take the guided tour on the trolley! Loved it! 4) Harvard Museum of Natural History - check out the hand blown glass botanical collection and the Earth & Planetary Sciences exhibit! Every location reachable by the T. We will be back for more

Winthrop was a great town! We walked to the yacht clubs and Deer Island - enjoyed the beach front, picking up shells and clams, and the local restaurants had some pretty good food! Try D'Parma and Woody's! Bus transportation was great (except on Sunday) so we didn't need a rental to get anywhere we wanted.

I loved everything about the hotel. Unfortunately, they charge for parking. This was not disclosed when I booked it and when my husband saw the pending charge on the credit card, I was told it would come off because it was already part of the fee through booking.com. While $15 will not break the bank, in the future I would probably choose another hotel based on principle. I don't appreciate surprise expenses when I travel.

The great staff. The super clean room. The large breakfast dining area. It was nice being able to move around to get our breakfast & to have plenty of seating available. We didn't have a chance to explore Chelsea, as we needed to spend our 1 day there driving to Ellsworth, Maine & back. So we were only in Chelsea 2 nights. But for 2 across country, tired train travelers (from LA to Boston), this Hampton Inn was terrific. Oh - the beds were super comfortable too!

The Freedom Trail was fantastic. We enjoyed following the red brick road all over the city to historic locations. We had some amazing coffee: Sip Cafe, Beacon Hill Books and Cafe, The Well. We had clam chowder at the Boston Sail Loft and lobster rolls at James Hook & Co. Boston was very easy to navigate and we never felt unsafe.
