Is Quincy an ok area then?

I was told Quincy isn%26#39;t a great area, but you guys seem to say it%26#39;s better choice than Bunker Hill. There%26#39;s an Adams Inn in Quincy, will that be an ok choice? Does the subway run out there? How about Harvard Square? What%26#39;s better choice considering that we may stay out later than ';early evening?'; Thanks!

DEFINITELY Harvard Square... for many reasons! Though the ';T'; runs within a fairly short walk of the Adams Inn, you wouldn%26#39;t want to do it in bad weather or with luggage, and if I%26#39;m reading you right, you may be out later than the ';T'; runs. Chances are, if you%26#39;re out late, you%26#39;ll be doing that closer to Harvard than to Quincy... a consideration if it%26#39;s after 1AM.

Quincy is a long T ride from the fun in Boston/Cambridge and does not have much going on. Harvard Sq. and nearby is way more fun, and easy to get to other fun night spots....check out Somerville, Central Sq. Cambridge and of course Boston.


Quincy vs Cambridge? No choice at all except that Cambridge will probably be quite a bit more expensive.


As a resident of Quincy, I have to come to it%26#39;s defense. It%26#39;s a perfectly safe area. I would say it%26#39;s safer than Bunker Hill for sure. The North Quincy T is about a 5-10 minute walk from the Adams Inn.

If you are looking to stay right where the ';Action'; is, then yes, Quincy is a quiet surburb and isn%26#39;t known for the rolicking nightlife...unless you want to go to an Irish pub, in which case there are many of them here, and they have live music. Driving down Hancock St. at 1am, you%26#39;d be surprised how much activity there is.

But, if you can find something in your price range in Cambridge, you probably would be happier there. Try the Sheraton Commander hotel, they sometimes have good deals.


Quincy%26#39;s a great area - and the Adams Inn is fairly close to the North Quincy T stop (it%26#39;s about a 10 minute walk). I know a couple of people that stayed at the Adams Inn about a year ago and my feeling way it was overpriced and not a great value. I%26#39;d ditto the comments for the Sheraton Commander - from a budget standpoint you may want to try the Midtown Motor Inn on Huntington Ave - close the back bay, the Howard Johnson Motor Inn on Boylston Street - behind fenway park or the Holiday Inn Express on Beacon Street in Brookline - of these 3 the Holiday Inn is probably the nicest and close to Kenmore Square (Fenway Park). The other 2 aren%26#39;t that great but are probably in line with the quality of the Adams Inn. Good Luck
