Question
How far apart are the Red Sox and Twins spring training facilities? which is the nicer stadium and area?
Can you suggest any hotels to stay at that are around of equal distance between both facilities?

Answer
The two facilities are around 5 to 7 miles apart from each other.  The Twins facility is located in more of an
open area with lots of Parking (Daniels Rd exit off of I-75).  The Red Sox stadium is located in City of Palms
Park on Edison Avenue (Colonial Blvd exit off of I-75).  Both are nice stadiums with the Red Sox ballpark
having more of an old time feel to it.  As far as a hotel to stay at, there is a nice Courtyard by Marriott that is
on Colonial Bld.and Metro Pkwy which is equidistant from both locations.
