Cheap Boston hotels

Cheap Boston Hotels really made the best of my time this winter. I visited the city of Boston on an official cum leisure trip.

Boston is the largest city in New England, the capital of the state of Massachusetts, and one of the most historic, wealthy and influential cities in the United States of America. Its plethora of museums, historical sights, and wealth of live performances, all explain why the city gets 16.3 million tourists a year, making it one of the ten most popular tourist locations in the country.[1]

Although technically not part of Boston proper, Cambridge (just across the Charles River, home to Harvard and MIT) is an integral part of the larger city and an essential component to any visit to Boston.

Boston is a city of diverse neighborhoods, many of which were originally towns in their own right before being assimilated into the city itself. These neighborhoods still go by their original names and people will often tell you they are from "JP" (Jamaica Plain), "Southie" (South Boston), "Dot" (Dorchester) or "Eastie" (East Boston) rather than from "Boston". Alternatively, people from the suburbs will tell you they are from Boston when in fact they live in one of the nearby (or even outlying) suburbs. If in doubt, you can look for "Resident Parking Only" signs which will tell you what neighborhood you are in.
