Where do the Oakland A's stay in Boston?
Most visiting sports teams choose not to stay in the same hotel every time they visit each town. This is in part to keep autograph hounds (and numb-skulls who will do anything to help the home team gain an edge) from bothering the visiting team. If you are visiting a city and wish to find out where a visiting team is staying, you won't get much help from the hotel staff (they need to be on the side of the visiting team to protect their income). You will do better to ask cab drivers and other fans at the game. If you get to the game way early you will find fans waiting to greet the teams and ask for autographs. These fans will know what hotel the team is staying at this time and what restaurants they like and all that.
