Howard Johnson Inn Fenway Park

If you're new to the city or taking the T in from out of town, this is where you can get advice from people living in The Hub. Please keep discussion limited to things in and around Boston.

It's about 3 - 3 1/2 blocks from the convention, but it isn't a straight shot. If that is not a long walk for you, and you have a good sense of direction, it's doable. I'd make sure I knew the map well though.

I've never stayed at the Howard Johnson but I've stayed at the Hotel Buckminster which is RIGHT next to Fenway and the walk isn't too bad, but when you're walking back at night after panels and what not, it might as well be in another city entirely because it feels like FOREVER before you get there, especially at the early morning hours. It's not a bad location, though, so it's doable so long as you keep your wits about you but I would not recommend it, no. The walk is just grueling after walking all day at the con.
