Which hotels are best near the stadium?

[fumbrunner]

Can you take the train to Foxboro?? If so how close to the Stadium?

The train drops you off right beside the stadium. no traffic to navigate through. if i recall, its a 30-45 minute ride.

This is a good thread because thanks to miguel my pregnant wife and I are going to make the trip up to see the stadium and a preseason game and we'd like to stay overnight to make the whole thing easier on her.

WHAT!! Miguel got your wife pregnant!!

 

[tobias funke]

Patjew - Are you back in the Orient?? I thought you said you were going to be in Vegas?

Sure am. I was in Vegas for a few days for a tradeshow, but I've been back in China for about 10 days now.

I went to the Eagles game last year! Awesome! The pic you see is from that game! AWESOME! I loved it in FOXBOROUGH! The people are great. I stayed at Residence Inn, it was like a 10 minute ride to the stadium. Make sure you check out OUTLAW Barbecue while your in town. Right next to the stadium. Also a great place to TAILGATE get there about 6 hours prior to kick off! Links to both below. GO PATS!

Since I'm usually on a tight budget, I tend to stay the Second Best Western on Rt. 1

Then there's also the Chateau Maison, which conveniently rents by the hour

Even better if you are on a tight budget is the Super 8 on Washington in North Attleboro. About 15-20 minutes (by car) to the stadium. We are talking 1970's convenience and decor, but hell all you are doing is sleeping there. That is where I stayed on my cross continent trip to see the Pats this past year.

For my last trip, I stayed at America's Best Value Inn. Not much in the way of in room amenities go, but its a short walk to the stadium and they've got a bar too. I'd stay there again simply due to the fact it's within walking distance to the stadium.

By "short walk" how many minutes is it typically from the America's Best Value Inn to the stadium? Plus do their rates stay within the $70ish for the weekends as well or do they jack them up?

Craigslist will get you plenty of friendly companionship at these motels. Bring cash.

About 20 minutes if I remember correctly.

The train station is on the outter edge of the stadiums main parking lot.

Wow, That's a response to an OLD post.

A lot has happened since then.

 

[tanked_as_usual]

there's always the boston view motel........you've got grossman's outlet on one side, walmart in the back and there's a bar you can walk to

I think if you're looking for nice accomodations, you best get out of Foxboro. What Foxboro buys you is pure convenience.

My recommendation to friends coming into town to see the Pats is to stay in Providence... fly into Greene (cheap flights via Southwest) stay at the Courtyard Marriott in Providence - across from the Providence Place Mall, nice pool, whirlpool, good breakfast - walking distance to everything in town and walking distance to the train station as well

Personally I haven't taken the train in awhile so I'm not sure how many runs they make but I think there's at least two - so you can go a little early and stay a little late if you want to get some of the tailgating experience.

I think hotel rooms there cost about $120 which may be less than you'd pay for a lesser hotel near the stadium.

I guess that shouldn't be surprising seeing as you're a Nevernude.

How about inside Boston? Or whats my best bet for convience Im there for 5-7 days, seeing a Pats and Boston College game, and want to see the sites?

 

[Canada's #1 Pats Fan]

The Super 8 (on Route 1) in North Attleboro. Reasonably priced, next to no ammenities and close (10 min. drive) to Gillette.

Ok, it's a bit of a commute, but I find the Elmwood Resort Hotel in Wells, Maine very nice and has some great specials:

Wells Maine Hotels * Wells Hotels ME * Wells Maine Hotels and Lodging * Wells Maine Accommodations * Elmwood Resort Hotel

Ok, it's a shameless plug for my hotel, but how many times does the subject come up? Besides, distance is relative!
