Nobody, but nobody, around here refers to Boston by its airport code.

Respectfully, this is nonsense. BOS is a perfectly legitimate acronym for a traveler, and the disdain mentioned above is emblematic of the Boston attitude.

Having said that, a relocation from Woburn to downtown Boston is worthwhile for a short stay. Priceline will work well for a Boston stay if points aren't necessary. Also, check travelzoo.com, other US destinations. The Boutique Hotel Nine-Zero has been there frequently with rates around $150 USD.
