[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lived in Boston for years and grew up outside of it.  The actual downtown Boston is very small compared to other cities.  It really doesn't make a difference if you stay in Copley or North End because you will easily be able to go anywhere.  I've walked from North End to Copley endless times.  It's not like it's going to take you 30 min to get from the Commons to the North End.

Given that there are multiple graduations that weekend , your priority should just be finding some place and book it.  Avoid the Seaport, not great if you're relying on the T.   [/quote]

Agree with all of this.  Seaport might look attractive due to the lower hotel prices, but the lack of access to transit isn’t worth it.  [/quote]

I sort of agree. I work in the seaport and commute occasionally on the ferry that leaves from long wharf. It’s about a 15 minute walk. Right along the water and beautiful on nice days. Windy and cold on others.

I’d split the difference and stay at the Marriott king wharf or somewhere near there. As others have pointed out, you can walk from there to Copley. It’s a bit of a distance, but it’s through the heart of the downtown area.

I played tourist with the kids one day and did an on-off bus to see all the sights. We did the freedom trail and had an amazing free tour at the old state house.

Dinner in the north end, another day for a late lunch at the Union Oyster house (so much history in that old building). Cambridge is great for walking around. [/quote]
