Can anyone suggest a hotel in/around Boston thats kid friendly?
In my experience, Marriott Courtyard Hotels are kid-friendly. Yes, they are also used by cost-conscious businessmen during the week; but, for a weekend, I think they are perfect for families. They are all pretty similar in layout. They have a pool, which kids love. Unlike many urban hotels, parking is usually in a free open lot, not in an expensive garage. Here are 5 Marriott Courtyards that are close to Jamaica Plain, MA: • Courtyard Boston Brookline … $209+ … 2.2 mi from Jamaica Plain • Courtyard Boston South Boston … $189+ … 3.3 mi from Jamaica Plain • Courtyard Boston Cambridge … $249+ … 3.4 mi from Jamaica Plain • Courtyard Boston Waltham … $139+ … 9.2 mi from Jamaica Plain • Courtyard Boston Norwood … $135+ … 9.9 mi from Jamaica Plain These prices were for an arbitrary weekend in July, without discounts–corporate or AAA. I would call up your family and ask them what they think about these locations. You can trade off price vs. distance. Have a great trip! Sou
