What can anyone tell me about Bunker Hill?

I%26#39;m still trying to look for a place to stay, lots of places are booked. How close/far is Bunker Hill? I don%26#39;t mind getting on pub. transportation. I heard that it%26#39;s on the orange line. Is it an acceptable area? Just want to be safe. Anyone heard of Bunker Hill House? Thanks!

B%26amp;B Associates Bay Colony at 888 486-6018 is where you found Bunker Hill House, correct? Yes it would be on the Orange Line of the ';T'; I would imagine. The rooms running roughly $100 to $140 a night? All I%26#39;m seeing are codes M471 for the Bunker Hill House on this website though, is that what you%26#39;re seeing? No pictures of the Inn/homes whatsoever? Just codes like that? I don%26#39;t like the sounds of that, do you? Wouldn%26#39;t you want to see pictures of where you%26#39;re staying and stay at a reputatable hotel for your first visit to Metropolitan Boston? What are they hiding something having codes for descriptions of each home?

I see that the Marriott Hotels are booked up solid, sorry about that, it must be a busy time of year with conventions and business meetings or something. I checked online and found the Adams Inn at 29 Hancock St., in Quincy, MA with all renovated gorgeous rooms on there website and some have water view for excellent rates. They do car rental arrangements and can give you directions to Rhode Island or Cape Cod from Quincy? You can see the expressway from the Inn

Would you really want to take the boat down to Provincetown after Labor day? It%26#39;s up to you. Yes that%26#39;s about what it cost for the boat now. We%26#39;ve gone before, it%26#39;s all right I guess. I personally don%26#39;t think you have enough time once you%26#39;re in Provincetown on the day trip, you%26#39;re rushing to get back to the boat before you know it.

Keep checking for a place, did you bid yet? www.betterbidding.com then www.priceline.com

Good luck!

What can anyone tell me about Bunker Hill?

I agree with NoMo01: I wouldn%26#39;t take a chance on something where there are no pictures and no opinion, reviews or other information available. How do you know these cottages are safe or even what you%26#39;d be getting for your money. I%26#39;m not saying these are bad places but it would make me extremely uncomfortable.

Go with the Quincy alternative or another hotel in Quincy. This is a safe community with easy access to downtown via the T.

There%26#39;s so much to do in Boston that I%26#39;d skip the ferry to P-Town this trip. You could easily spend a week in Boston and still find more things to do.

Bunker hill (located in the Charlestown section of Boston) is probably 1 mile or so from downtown Boston. The oragne line does go to Charlestown, also there are busses and a cab from downtown Boston is probably $5 or $6. Be a little careful in Charlestown, there are some large housing projects directly behind bunker hill that are pretty rough, if you are hitting the tourist spots, and the ';nice'; parts (closer to Boston) during the day/early evening you will be fine. There is not that much to see on Bunker hill, a few things in Charelstown (Warren Tavern, NAvy Yard, USS Constitution) so a few hours there is probably enough. Good luck.

If you rent a car and end up being in Charlestown at this home you%26#39;re referring to, be careful of parking on the right street over there, ya here me? Check out www.charlestownonline.com and there message (discussion) board and you%26#39;ll read about how many tires are slashed left and right over there okay? I had my window on my cars smashed in a few times over there and I%26#39;m a native, cute huh? I can say it because I%26#39;m from there! There are some wonderfully gorgeous restored homes in my old neighborhood and the people living there are from all over the country and the world that live there now; they%26#39;ve done amazing amazing work to some of my own friends and families homes! As well as the ';townies'; that still live there! They%26#39;re wonderful people and I%26#39;ll always be very proud of being raised there, it was wonderful---back then! The town is very upscale now and gentrified! I%26#39;m talking million dollar homes up and down the whole neighborhood, big big bucks. The problem is? The Bunker Hill Housing Development or ';projects'; as we grew up calling it, it%26#39;s really too bad. Tons and tons of drug addicts there now, it%26#39;s so so sad, more now than ever before! They%26#39;re walking around the streets pulling fast ones on the tourists and all their own family, friends and neighbors! Oh, they%26#39;re swiping things left and right, as much as they can, all because of there gross drug habits. It%26#39;s life and you know? It%26#39;s everywhere in our society now; it%26#39;s really a damn shame. This housing development should really really be torn right down to the ground. It used to be a beautiful neighborhood up and down Bunker Hill St., before it was there! One of the streets was called ';Stone St.'; where my grandparents lived when they came over from Ireland! It was all brick row houses before the ';projects'; came along in the early 40%26#39;s. So there, you heard about Bunker Hill, alright? The previous poster is right, there%26#39;s the Warren Tavern for lunch or dinner or a few drinks. The Bunker Hill Monument is right there, a few minute tour as well as the U.S. Constitution down at the Constitution Marina, that%26#39;s about IT for touring the place! I think you should do your homework and get a place in Quincy Quti911, especially where you%26#39;re heading down to the Cape and Rhode Island! Like I said, check out that bidding process! Good Luck!

Ditto. A quick stroll during the middle of the day.....fine. Otherwise, you%26#39;re not missing a whole lot, IMO. My company is HQed in Charlestown and I work with a guy that was born and raised and still lives there. He tells us all the horror stories, both then and now.
