I have a couple questions about this hotel.

I have a wedding to attend at the Marriott Long Wharf on a Saturday night later this spring. I don't want to spend the $350/night+ to stay at the Marriott, so I'm looking for something reasonable in cost. I won't be spending much time at the hotel -- mostly just crashing after the evening wedding.

The Sheraton Boston is available on C&P ($60 + 4000 points), which seems quite reasonable for Boston (cheapest rooms seem to be $220+). But I'm not particularly "excited" about staying in a convention-sized big city hotel, especially since as an SPG gold I don't get any useful amenities thrown in (here's where free breakfast like Hilton offers to Golds would tip the scale).

Is there any reasonable parking option? I read somewhere that it's over $40 to park at the hotel, which would convince me to stay elsewhere.

I'm thinking also of the Le Meridien in Cambridge, which has fairly reasonable rates.

I'm also considering staying for free using Choice points at the surprisingly well-regarded Comfort Inn Logan Airport. Free parking and breakfast there.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
