Exit LEFT at the Cambridge/Allston exit. (50 cent toll) When the off-ramp splits, keep right (going towards Cambridge). At the stop light at the end of the ramp, you should still be on the right side. Go through that light, then make a right at the next set of lights (the DoubleTree Hotel will be on your right). Stay left and follow the signs to Soldiers Field Road and Storrow Drive. This road will take you along the river, which will be on your left side as you head towards the city. Follow this road for about 3.5 miles. Take the Government Center exit. This will put you on Cambridge Street (overhead signs will also direct you). Stay on this road for about a quarter mile. Make a left onto Staniford St (the Shangri La restaurant will be on your right when you make this turn), which becomes Causeway Street at a "Friday's" restaurant. (You will also find yourself driving under a subway overpass). Friend St will be on your right. Turn here and look for the hotel on your right. There are numerous public parking lots. (**If at anytime you get lost, ask someone how to get to the Fleet Center, which is on Causeway Street)
