<p>Molliebatmit, thanks for the parking advice. Sounds like a longer walk than I thought. Might even park there instaed of the hotel, which charges $22 for self park.</p>
<p>That is by no means a quick and easy walk, in this weather. We have ice and slush everywhere, and the sidewalks are definitely not clear. I vote for bus, or a quick subway ride.</p>
<p>A definite vote for the #1 bus!</p>
<p>I've only been to Boston twice, both times I got great hotels downtown on Priceline, kind of last minute, and not that cheap, but reasonable (around $120/night). Public transporation was great. It was very easy to get to Harvard from downtown. I didn't take a car, so can't help you there . . .</p>
