Hi, We are going to see Dr. Waters on Sept. 15. Does anyone have any recommendations on hotels? They all seem to be expensive. Any positive experiences? Thank you. - Dawn

We stayed at the Best Western At the Longwood medical.
It just a few minutes of walk, 3 blocks from the Children's Hospital. They also have a hospital rate for $135. The hotel also has an adjacent foot court downstairs with a few shops (CVS). It is very convenient. Here is their link:

You can call them directly to make reservation.

There might some summer special package. I do not know when that ends.


The Holiday Inn at Brookline also has a medical rate. The hotel has a shuttle bus (free) to the hospital.

Good luck!

We also stay at Best Western Inn and Longwood medical. They have a medical rate if you ask for it. We have stayed there a dozen of times with our Boston visits to Dr Waters and we were pleased every time. You can walk out the back'side door of the food court/Galleria and the hospital is across the street. SEriously, its a few seconds. It is well worth the price. Good luck.

Hello there,

Boston has a program called the hospitality program. People open up there homes to family's there in Boston for medical reasons. The cost can be up to $35 a day.
Most of them just want you to make a donation to the program. The phone number is 617-482-4338. We have had nothing but good experiences threw this program. The family's are great and very sympathetic.
