We stayed at the Days Inn-Saugus, it's aboout 20 minutes outside of Boston. There' a free shuttle to the airport and a free contential breakfast.
Word to the wise- Bostonians can not drive - It's a fact ask anybody. Driving downtown is not recommeded, parking is very very expensive, lots of one-way streets and they have these things called "rotaries" AHHHHHHHH! everywhere.

BTW Palms is wrong, the best pizza is not in NYC or Boston, it's in Chicago -deep dish.
