Four Points by Sheraton – Logan Airport, Boston USA

Four Points by Sheraton – Logan Airport, Boston

When looking for an affordable hotel near Boston’s Logan Airport we chose Four Points by Sheraton.

We were passing through Boston having flown in from Reykjavik (Iceland) and spent one night near the airport before hiring a car the next day for a road trip down the coast to NYC.

Arriving at Logan Airport we took the free shuttle bus to the hotel, although the hotel wasn’t as close to the airport as we thought – it was 4.5 miles away.

Boston – Apartment 6, 534 Tremont Street, Boston

Boston Apartment Tremont StreetBoston can be an expensive city when booking accommodation. We managed to find a reasonably-priced, well located two-bedroom apartment for our two-night stay.

Our Boston apartment was located in a popular area – the South End district – on the corner of Tremont and Milford Streets opposite the Boston Center for the Arts. It’s a great location with lots of good restaurants, the surrounding tree-lined side streets are very pretty and it’s a quick drive to the city centre.

We are on the top floor (3rd floor) and it is a steep walk up to the apartment as there is no lift. The apartment has an open plan living/dining/kitchen area with modern furnishings. There are two bedrooms – one with queen bed and the other with a set of bunk beds.

We have Cottage 3 – a green timber cottage with open plan living/kitchen/dining and lounge plus 2 bedrooms. It is an old fashioned place but it’s comfortable.

Burlington Air BnB (Vermont, USA) – Blue Building with Neighborhood Character

We found our accommodation in Burlington on Air BnB – it is described as Blue Building with Neighborhood Character.

During a trip to see the Fall colours of Vermont in the USA, we decided to visit Burlington and made this booking the day before our visit – we were the first guests to stay in this accommodation.

We chose the property because of its location and value for money.

On arrival we collected our key by entering a code into a key box at the property. The apartment was on the first floor of a quaint timber building (painted blue) – there are steep stairs to climb to reach the apartment.

It was very difficult to find reasonably priced accommodation in Stowe on the Columbus Day holiday (Monday, 10 October 2016) however we came across Stowe Motel & Snowdrift – very good value for money.

We booked a 2-Bedroom Fireplace Suite – Room 302. The suite was self contained and very comfortable. We were able to park right outside our suite, so very easy to carry luggage in.

Vacation Village in the Berkshires, Hancock, MA, USA

Reception Lounge, Vacation Village in the BerkshiresVacation Village in the Berkshires is resort-style accommodation – made up of about 20 attractive New England-style timber buildings. Each building has a number of apartments available for guests.

We are visiting in the Fall and the location is very beautiful – we feel miles from the nearest town, there are views of the surrounding countryside and the air smells pure and fresh.

Reception is housed in the main building, which is reached via a large circular driveway. We arrive quite late however there are number of staff on reception to check us in, and they are helpful with information on what to see and do in the area, where to eat, etc.

Holiday Inn Express New York JFK Airport Area

There are many hotels in the immediate vicinity of JFK Airport. We chose Holiday Inn Express based on ratings and value for money.

We had a one-night stay – on the evening of our arrival after a flight from Sydney to New York (via Los Angeles). On arrival at JFK Airport we took the free Air Train to Federation Circle Station where we took a shuttle bus to the hotel.

After a friendly and easy check in at Reception, we proceeded to Room #315 on the third floor, just opposite the elevator. The room was very clean with very comfortable king size bed (we found the pillows to be quite luxurious).
