Practical information : Accomodation Boston
Budget & Tips
Hotels are expensive in Boston and despite the emergence of new establishments, the city is short of rooms. In the fall (the most pleasant season to visit the city), prices soar and can exceed US$300 per night in mid-range hotels. In addition, there is an 8.45% tax and a 6% tax in luxury hotels. Don't hesitate to check the hotels' websites, almost all of them offer online discounts
To be booked
As soon as you know the dates of your stay in Boston, don't wait a minute to book your accommodation. This advice is especially important during the high season, from April to October. This will save you from paying a fortune or finding yourself without a solution.
What's very local
In hotel chains, remember to ask for a non-communicating room. Rooms that are adjoining and separated by two doors that can be locked on either side are very common in the United States. While this is quite convenient when traveling with your family, it is not really a pleasant experience when you don't know your neighbors
If you are satisfied with the cleanliness of your room and the hotel's service, it is customary to leave a few dollars in a tip envelope or somewhere prominent in the room (on the pillow or bedside table). These tips go to the maintenance staff.
For food lovers
Most hotels in Boston don't offer breakfast. Instead, hostels usually offer a buffet breakfast included in the room rate, which consists of cereal, juice, toast and jam, pancakes and sometimes a simple hot dish such as scrambled eggs.
If you like hearty breakfasts, the bed and breakfasts will delight you! The hosts are very often fine cooks who like to pamper their guests with homemade pastries (scone, muffin, bread...), a seasonal fruit salad as well as several choices of hot dishes that they prepare by the minute.
Smokers
In 2008, Boston became one of the first U.S. cities to implement a ban on smoking in all hotel rooms in the city. There are no exceptions to this rule in hotel chains, youth hostels and bed and breakfasts. Smoking is generally prohibited in common areas, too. Legislation also applies to the electronic cigarette.
Tourist traps
With all the comparators and review sites that exist on the Internet today, scams have become quite rare and you should not have any unpleasant surprises when you book your hotel on the Internet.
