We are using frequent flier miles for our upcoming trip to Spain. On our return, we arrive at Boston's Logan Airport around 6:30 pm and depart the following day around 9:00 am. Can anyone recommend inexpensive or reasonably priced lodging near or convenient to the airport or Boston?

Good luck!

I couldn't find anything about hotels at that site...maybe I need more help?? I did various searches--turned up something called The Anchor Inn in Revere, not too far from the airport and very reasonable. Any other suggestions? Most places seem to be running $150-$300 per night!! Way too much for a place to sleep.

It comes back with two Boston, MA (1-airport and the other just Boston).

As I recall, there's a 'T' (MTA) stop right at Boston's Logan airport, so you shouldn't have to limit yourselves to 'near airport' hotels. In the morning, with heavy tunnel traffic the 'T' might even be faster than a taxi.

Back during my working days I used to accrue frequent hotel guest rewards as well as frequent flyer miles. As a matter of fact, some were interchangeable. Don't you have any of those?
In Boston we often stay at the Copley Place Marriott (there's a Westin there, too): It's easy walking distance to Boston Common; an enclosed mall, an AMTRAK (Back Bay?) Station and a 'T' station right there. You may have to change lines, so figure about 30-minutes to Logan airport.
Why does this make me think of the '60's hit song about the MTA? "We will ride forever thru the streets of Boston ... "

You have about 12-hours to enoy Boston for a short visit, to take a stroll around Boston Common and to see some of what you California folks are missing (Fenway Park, MIT, Harvard, 'Cheers,' etc., etc.)

Carol - Boston traffic going thru the tunnel to get to the airport can be horrendous so whereever you stay - be sure to allow extra time to get to Logan. The Ted Williams tunnel has been under continual construction work for the entire time I've lived here.
As far as inexpensive places to stay - not many. I would suggest staying in Boston - enjoy the city - Revere is "suberbia" at its worst -

Although we don't care too much where we stay, I'd prefer to have easy access to the airport for that morning departure. We can still take a cab or whatever into the city for an evening's look-around. Any ideas for lodging?

Sorry this seems so un-Spain-like but we are returning from Spain so I figured it's okay to post here.

Hmmmm...
