a special note - Hotels in Central Boston are very expensive and can often be fully booked.  If your group is arriving by chartered motor coach, we suggest that you consider selecting a hotel within the environs of the city, which has easy access to the heart of town.  The Boston "metro" area is very concentrated and often no more than 30 minutes is needed for the short commute.  ANIMACTIONS UNLIMITED can place your group comfortably and conveniently for them to truly enjoy their Boston visit.
