Boston hotel choice

Looking for something affordable (ha) but easy to get to. Have driven
to Boston before and know the nightmare it can be. Want to stay out
as far as possible and walk or shuttle to T station. Looking at Best
West. Tria or Best West. Terrace. Any help?? Thanks

In September we stayed at the Holiday Inn Boston-Randolph - we thought the
rates were very good (we didn't pre-book) - they run a free shuttle to the
station but we found that driving to Quincey and parking in the station car
park was convenient and didn't have a traffic problem (I think we were there
on a weekend though).

My wife and I have stayed at the Best Western in Brookline which is located
next to the green line. It is on the major street which names escapes me
(Commonwealth?). It is not far from Boston College. The room in which we
stayed had a stove and frig. I checked recently, and the rate was around $90
per night.There are grocery stores (Star) in the area. There is parking.

A few years ago I was in Boston on a tight budget so
I stayed out of town in Braintree, which had several
affordable motels (stayed at a Ramada, I think), and it
had a convenient train station which would take you into
Boston.

About a year ago, I asked in this group about hotels in Boston. We ended
up staying at the John Jeffries House. It is not 'out as far as
possible', rather it is quite close to Mass Gen and has a lovely view of
the river. However, the rate was completely reasonable, it was easy to
get from there to anywhere and we will stay with them again on future
visits.
