Mate swears by the Doubletree but I haven't been there (the Soldiers Field Rd would probably be the best bet for MIT)
Looks very nice but it's £230 a night...Brianamal said:
Boston is one of my favorite cities! MIT is just across the bridge from the center of Boston which is a wonderful location, albeit pricey (do a tour or just sight see around Boston Commons if you're able to). If you need to be in the city by the school, it will prob cost you a bit extra, but worth it. Go to Expedia.com, Orbitz.com, etc and try boutique-type hotels - they usually are less expensive than chains and wonderfully located being that they're old city buildings that have been around for ages. Boston is relatively easy to get around and cabs are a-plenty.
I know this isn't much help but thought I'd try!![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
I’m hoping to make time for a good wander around. I’ll be spending a month or so there in the near future which I’m looking forward too.I know this isn't much help but thought I'd try!

At the moment I’m thinking I might book a hotel a bit further out and hire a car. There really don’t seem to be any low priced options in the city (which is pretty much what I expected!).

Have a look at the MidTown Hotel. It's nice and central, decent quality (although not up to Marriot etc standards). I think I paid about £50 per night there a few years ago although with the current exchange rates who knows what it's be now.
$120 a night(~75 quid these days). That's not bad at all. Thanks!Gassing Station | Holidays & Travel | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
