Great location and great hotel
My wife and I stayed at the Lenox the week before this year's marathon. We quickly saw Boston transformed in preparation for the big race. The Lenox really is a great hotel in an outstanding location. The Prudential Mall is half a block a way, Atlantic Fish Co is nearly across the road, Copley Square and Newberry Street are one block away and the Copley train station means the rest of Boston is readily accessible. One of the real bonuses of the location was the proximity of Marshall's to the hotel. As keen shoppers we found this store a treasure trove of bargains and will definitely visit the next time we are in Boston. We only discovered it by accident and it should be as famous as New York's Century 21 store. Marshall's is similar but neater, organsied and cheaper.
