Default Boston Trip - Need Recommendations
I may go to Boston late summer for about 4-5 days, so I have time to kick this around. Any recommendations on what areas to stay in, and not stay in (safety). Any hotel recommendations would be welcome. I know Boston is probably pricey, so hotel recommendations under $170 per night would be helpful.

I was looking at hotels in the Copley Square/Boston Public library area -- is this a safe area?

I will probably will not have a rental car -- how is public transporation/taxi service in Boston? I know that if you stay in downtown-Loop/near north side of Chicago, a rental car is not really necessary, so I'm assuming Boston is the same.

Is a visit to Salem and Plymouth recommended? I'm assuming I would need a rental car to go to Salem and Plymouth -- is that correct?
