I'll be in Montreal the week of the Boston shows, and plan to drive to Boston on Saturday, May 30. I imagine that other Montrealers will be doing the same.
What are peoples' plans regarding places to stay in -- or on the route to and from -- Boston? I doubt that I'd want to attempt a 300 mile return drive after the concert, so I've been looking for inexpensive accommodations. Thanks for any tips.

Re: Montrealers traveling to Boston
I'm not from Montreal but I have a similar 300 mile trip back home to New Jersey. I'm staying at the Marriott Courtyard Boston Woburn/Boston North which is about 10 miles north of the theatre on Interstate 93. The place was by far the cheapest place to stay that was not a "roach-motel" I'm staying Friday-Sunday in a deluxe king bed suite using my AAA discount for a cost of $147USD total for both nights with tax, use of indoor pool, and parking included. If I recall one night without AAA discount was something like $75 plus tax. You can book direct at the Marriott.com website. I just booked it this afternoon so you should still be able to get a similar rate. Everything else in the area was either a dump or if it was nice it was around $200+ per night. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the great tip, bigdee. I had been looking mostly in New Hampshire, figuring that Boston-area rates would all be pricey. I'll follow this lead. Cheers.

Re: Montrealers traveling to Boston
You can stay off the Mass Turnpike or 93 and still get a good rate and be in travelling distance to Boston. I am staying in Milford ( which is on 495) and has some cheaper hotels, a holiday inn, Radisson and Days Inn I think .... the Patriots stay at the Radisson before game days as its a 30 minute ride to Foxboro. Its less than one hour from Boston. I am staying in this little town in Central Mass cuz I grew up there and I can stay with my mom and dad....... at their house...

Re: Montrealers traveling to Boston
This was accommodation in a very central part of Boston, literally 100 yards from Boston Public Park and only 5 minutes walk from the shops on Charles Street. We had what in England we would call a ground floor flat, but in Boston was called a 1st floor apartment.
