Holiday Inn

Red piping on the exterior and a large atrium inside make this Holiday Inn stand out from the sedate townhouses lining Beacon Street. It's also a lot bigger in scale. This is a modern hotel and each room has cable TV, pay-per-view films, coffee makers, irons, and Nintendo. Inside the hotel there is a restaurant with a cocktail lounge, a fitness center and a pool with a whirlpool. Parking is available for $15/day. Room prices range from $110 to $250 nightly.

For $179-$189, you can watch from a room overlooking Beacon Street as runners begin their final mile dash.
