Last Minute World Series Hotel Rooms in Denver
So the Colorado Rockies return to their home field this weekend hoping to at least ratchet up some runs against the Red Sox in the 2007 World Series.
We've already given you a list of hotels near Coors Field and we even mapped 'em out but just in case you are looking for a last-minute hotel deal, here are some of your options.
· Holiday Inn Select Cherry Creek: This is the 'burbs of Denver but 'nice burbs and rooms are $189 for Saturday and Sunday nights. Getting to Coors Field is easy if you have a car as downtown is only five miles away.
· Adam's Mark: Situated in downtown Denver, this hotel has rooms going for $299 a night. Walking to field could be doable but cab is better on the way home after you've been drinking in the altitude.
· Doubletree Hotel Denver: Rooms are going for $189 and Coors Field is about 5.5 miles away. But we noticed the cross street was MLK Boulevard. Eeeeeee.
Also one final note: If you've never been to Denver and are making a quick trip in and out, don't stay near the airport. The Denver airport is like a good 30/40 minutes from the actual city. So none of those airport hotels will be close to the game.
Check Denver World Series hotel rates here.
As always, send us your hotel suggestions.

Click Here to Go Straight to the Hotels Near MLB Stadiums Map
Over the summer, we took a look at some of the best hotels to stay at when in town for a Major League baseball game. Back then it was the perfect summer series for the all-American summer pastime.
But now the World Series is upon us and the Boston Red Sox and the Colorado Rockies will vie for the championships. We already took a look at hotels near Coors Field in Denver so today we present you with a map of hotels near Boston's Fenway Park.
As far as getting a room for the World Series games here , the other day we gave you a list of some Boston Hotel Deals for today and Thursday. Also don't forget that the hotel scene we scoped out back in 2004 is still good to use.
But we're pretty sure that if you are a member of Red Sox nation, you've not only booked your hotel but you know where the coach and team players are staying.
As always, if you Fenway hotel suggestions, well then don't be shy. Let us know.

Last Minute World Series Hotel Rooms in Boston
Hotel rates are out of control in Boston for the World Series, but there are rooms available for both Wednesday and Thursday when the Rock Show comes to Fenway.
At the end of the day the amount you pay for your hotel will pale in comparison to the amount you pay for a ticket. We just checked our trusty hotel rates search and here is what the all knowing meta algorithm came up with:
·Hilton Airport (blue line to green line FAR from fenway but right at APT) $429
·Back Bay Hilton Hotel (close to Fens -- you can walk) $529
·Nine Zero $589 (our favorite of this lot -- cool place cab or T from Fenway)
·Best Western Inn at Longwood -- (close to fenway, a decent Best Western, and hey, you will be at the Cask and Flagon wearing your pink Red Sox hat all night anyway so...) $349
Suddenly Boston is Manhattan, rates wise, but only for a couple days, thankfully.

Derek Jeter Coughs Up Hotel Parking Fee for His 'Lady Friends'
Page Six has a classic item about two ladies supposedly visiting Derek Jeter at the Shore Club in Miami and haggling the front desk for some free parking.
"The girls were wearing what looked like the same clothes they wore the night before - a tight cocktail dress and a mini-skirt. They were making a huge scene because they were asked to pay for parking.
"Obviously, they'd spent the night there," giggled the onlooker, who noted that one of the overnight guests was screaming into the phone, "After last night, he'd better [bleep]ing take care of it!"
After a bit of insistence, "they eventually left happy. I assume he paid for their parking after all," said our snitch.
We sort of don't blame those ladies for complaining because hotel parking can be such a bitch--to the tune of $24 for an hour visit. Overnight parking is $34. Plus, everything at the Shore Club is ridiculously expensive. And if Jeter is staying in the hotel's triplex penthouse with its own private pool, then we're pretty sure he can afford the parking charges.

The Oregon Hotel Trail: Park Lane Inn & Suites
HotelChatter Maven Annie0007 recently wrapped up a two-week jaunt through Oregon, taking her from the mountains and high desert to the lakes and coast. Along with the terrain variety, she stayed in a wide array of accommodations, from a 50s-style campground setting along a starlit lake, to a luxury cottage surrounded by deer and wildflowers, and a 1930s mountain lodge made famous in a classic horror movie. This week we'll be running her exclusive hotel reviews. If you have any questions, hit us on the tipline.
The first stop on our own personal Oregon Trail was The Park Lane Inn and Suites in Portland. At first glance, this all-suites hotel doesn't give great curb appeal: it sits at the top of a steep hill seemingly far away from the action of downtown, with a big cheesy AAA-Approved placard in the parking lot, and little signs of life in the lobby.
This is definitely a place to crash, not to party, although the 6am garbage truck just below our window seemed to conspire against us.

First up is Coors Field in Denver, home to the Colorado Rockies. Coors Field doesn't have any hotels adjacent to its ballpark (like Petco Park does) but if you're a huge fan, you can get married there although you will be made fun of endlessly if you do something like that.
Nevertheless, looking on the Google Maps, we can see the closest hotel to Coors Field is the Oxford Hotel on 17th Street.

Omni Hotel San Diego's Secret Petco Park Lair
A super secret HotelChatter spy in San Diego snapped this shot of the Omni Hotel San Diego's special entrance to Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres baseball team. If you stay at the Omni, you won't have to fight the crowds to get to your seat at the game. You can just walk through this entrance here on the 5th floor of the hotel. The skybridge will take you to the plaza level of the stadium where you can grab a bite to eat before watching the game.
Our informant also let us know that the owner of the Padres owns the Omni as well and has the top floor all to himself. So if you big spenders are trying to book the rooftop and can't, now you know why.

Hotels Near Fenway
The World Series is coming to Fenway Park for the first time in eighteen years, and the Hub is abuzz with excitement. If you are coming to Boston for the series, either this weekend or next, then you will need a place to stay, which could be quite a challenge to find. Hotels around the city are booking up fast. Our first piece of advice? Stay within a block or so of the green line (the T). We know, the green line isn't known for its speedy service, but it will however drop you off right at Kenmore Square, which is a mere meters from the old ball yard. Our second piece of advice? Book soon. Hotels in the area are filling up fast. Of course, every visitors dream would be to stay right under the Citgo sign, in the midst of all the action Kenmore Square has to offer. The following three Fenway Park area hotels hotels still have availability for Sunday October 24th and Sunday October 31st:
Hotel Commonwealth, Hotel Buckminster, the Howard Johnson Inn.
We are sure these places will be sold out soon, so if you are looking for a room near Fenway, during the series, hurry up. Of course, even when they do sell out, your best bet will be to call them, or check their web sites, to see if any cancellation rooms have popped up.
A series of stories on the above mentioned hotels follows this post. Enjoy.
