Robert:

As mentioned above The Lennox/Marriott/Westin/or Sheraton are all in an Ideal locations in Copley/Back Bay area. The Sheraton is connected to the Prudential center and walking distance to dozens of great places to dine and shop. The Boston Harbor hotel is a fantastic property and now that the waterfront is fixed up and the upper decks of 93 are taken down, its even more wonderful. Of course this is one of our favorites because Carla and I got married there. The Boston Harbor is pricey, but a great spot, these are all great hotels, I have personally stayed at all of them, I would agree with trying to do something on priceline and save more money for dining and shopping.
