re: Boston next Fall-- Any budget friendly hotels?

I've stayed at the Residence Inn Boston Back Bay a few blocks from Fenway during the off season and it wasn't too expensive but it's alot of walking to get to the T up on Commonwealth.

We prefer something neat the common and have found the most success with short term rentals.

If you want to save money, get something with a full kitchen so you can cook your won breakfast, eat leftovers for lunch sometimes and not have to pay for every single meal.
