InterContinental or Jurys?

Three guys celebrating our 40th birthdays will be in Boston for 3 days in June. We%26#39;ll be doing some sightseeing, attending a Red Sox game and searching out the great food that Boston has to offer. I%26#39;m looking at the InterContinental and Jurys - both look newer, modern and have comparable rates. I%26#39;m not familiar with the locations and what is in the immediate neighborhoods of these hotels. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

InterContinental or Jurys?

The Intercontinental is near the Waterfront and a 10 minute walk to Quincy Market, the Italian North End, and the Freedom Trail. It opened a few years ago.

Jurys is in Back Bay close to the major shopping areas of the city. It%26#39;s actually a newer hotel, but in an older building - the old Police Station.

Both have their share of restaurants.

InterContinental or Jurys?

Jurys will be a close walk to Newbury street, Copley Place, Davios. It is across the street fron The Grille 23. The Four Season%26#39;s Hotel is not far, The Bristol Lounue is nice to visit.

The Intercontinental is a 20 minute walk to the North End. The Lobby bar is nice. Morton%26#39;s at The Seaport location is 10 minutes and a hot spot. The Lobby here is much larger than Jurys. It is a little closer to Logan. A cab ride is 10 minutes and $25.00 tops.

Just a heads up here NoCal...

The InterContinental frequently appears on Hotwire for less than $150/night. It is a 4.5 star hotel in the Quincy Market/Financial District zone with amenities smoke free, restaurant, fitness, high speed internet, business center, pool, and spa. Check betterbidding.com for more info on hotwire.

Also, I see that easyclicktravel.com has been running some great rates at the Jurys lately. You can see if the hotel will match these prices as well by booking a reundable room with them and then filling out a claim form on their website.

Both locations are fine. As is often pointed out here, Boston is compact and very easy to get around by foot and subway. I think the Intercontinental might be a little more high-end than Jury%26#39;s, but I think you will be happy in either.
