I stay at 465 and Binford at a Super 8, been there for 15 years now. It is a straight shot to the fairgrounds, lots of nice hotels there too, but I am cheap and have Wyndham Rewards, and there is a Twin Peaks there too.  I haven't missed that swap since it started, 90% vending, 10% buying, but it is a not miss show, even the Canadians come down by bus every year when they are allowed to...

Its not worth the trip from Mass. !!!
There is a bus trip organized annually in my area. For us its an 8-hour trip each way. Cost is around $300 and includes hotel and entry fees. We spend one day at the show. I love swap meets BUT if there's nothing I absolutely need it can be a waste of 3 days and $300.
Indy is a long way from Mass, in my opinion, save your time and money and go to Mopars at Carlisle in the summer. It'll cut seven hours off the trip, the weather will be better and the show is bigger. . I didn’t pay attention to location, I agree, not worth the trip from Massachusetts.
