My wife and I just retired. We live on the west coast and have never seen the east coast. We're gonna fly to Boston in mid Oct for 5 days.
Usually, hotels in the downtown area are very expensive. I'm hoping to find a nice hotel 10-15 miles from downtown to save some money. Should we plan on finding a hotel that is close to a subway or a train? We will have a rental car, but it might be better to visit some places in Boston via Mass Transit rather than by car. (we want to do normal touristy things) Any advice on "where" to stay near Boston and the use of mass transit would be appreciated.
On my own, I've found what seems to be a nice place to stay. e.g. The Candlewood Suites in Burlington seems to be a nice place at under $100 per night. On the other hand, I have no idea what Burlington is like.
