A note to anyone that's not familiar with Boston.
I just discovered that Google maps shows several misleading locations for the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. I booked a room within what I thought was easy walking distance, but it ended up being 3-4 miles away and two subway transfers. I’ll probably change hotels.
This is not correct…

i’m from the area, and that location looks about right to me… could you be more specific about the mistake you found? with ongoing construction added to boston’s confusing geography and street naming “system,” it can definitely become difficult.
Take a look at the map from their own site:

It’s correct now, but a couple of weeks ago, the first thumbtack was just north of the airport. The second thumbtack was out in the ocean, and the third thumbtack was the correct location.
Are there any good hotels out in the ocean? J/K ;-)
