Boston on the cheap

Boston can be an expensive place to visit. There’s no denying it. But it’s still possible to not spend big to sleep, see, and do a lot here. There are reasonably priced and free attractions throughout the city, if you know where to look.

HOTELS

The Beacon Hill Friends House has two simply furnished guest rooms and shared bathrooms. The bonus here is the location — it’s in the heart of an ultra-posh area. https://bhfh.org/

The Boston Hotel Buckminster’s neighbor is Fenway Park. Along with two-bedroom suites that accommodate families, there’s laundry facilities and free Wi-Fi. www.bostonhotel
