Hotels for 18-year-olds in Boston

By Alexander Backus · Updated August 2026

If you're 18 and heading to Boston, you could be turned away at the front desk even with a confirmed reservation if the hotel requires guests to be 21. You would lose the room for the night and have to scramble for another place to stay, but these Boston hotels accept check-in at 18 so you can actually get your keys. Pick the one that fits your plans and reserve your stay in the city.

Logan arrival routes via SL1 or the Blue Line

Silver Line SL1 is bus rapid transit from Logan's terminals to South Station; the Silver Line system connects there with the Red Line and serves the South Boston Waterfront. On SL1, passengers ride one bus from the terminal to South Station, with no airport shuttle step in between.

For the Blue Line, the route is different: travelers first take the free Massport shuttle to Airport Station, since Airport Station is not directly walkable from the terminals. From there, the Blue Line has direct subway transfer connections to the Orange Line and the Green Line. The entire Massport shuttle network collectively connects the terminals, Airport Station, the Rental Car Center, and the Water Transportation Dock along separate routes, so no one vehicle serves every point.
