What is the best way to get from the Providence RI airport to Boston area hotel.?

I am planning a trip to Boston and want to fly into Providence airport. What is the most efficient way to get from the airport to Boston besides renting a car.What is the best way to get from the Providence RI airport to Boston area hotel.?
Peter Pan Bus Lines has connections from TF Green Airport to Boston via Kennedy Plaza in Providence. RIPTA buses run from the airport in Warwick to Providence also. From there, MBTA commuter rail goes to South Station, Boston.

? When I checked back to see if more info was posted, I saw the answers that followed mine. Perhaps I wasn't clear. Peter Pan has a bus from Green Airport to Boston (South Station). If you prefer the train, a local (RIPTA) bus can get you to the train station in Providence. No taxies needed there.What is the best way to get from the Providence RI airport to Boston area hotel.?
Depending on how much luggage you are bringing with you, check the train schedule from Providence to South Station, you will need a taxi from the airport to the train station, and most likely one from South Station to the hotel. I was flying out of Providence and had a fairly large wheeled duffel bag with me, and had no problems. Taxi's aren't cheap, but it may cost less than some other alternatives.
You should look into an airport limo service, something like Boston Coach, its probably your best option.
Well the MBTA Commuter rail goes from Providence to South Station in Boston. You'd need a taxi from the airport to the train station, and then one from the South Station Train Station to your hotel (or a differend train, etc. depending exactly where in the city your hotel is, of course!). Honestly, I would contact the hotel you are staying at and see what they suggest as a best alternative. They may have an affiliation with some airport shuttle services, or private bus lines, etc. so it's worth a check even if it is a shot in the dark.
