davis_square | Hotels in the area? (Reply)

Hello all,

I am looking for advice. When my family comes to visit from out of town, they normally stay at the Homewood Suites (previously Hawthorn Suites) on Mass Ave just over the Alrington border. It's an easy walk from our house, on the bus line, and includes breakfast. But the price has gone up considerably in the past few years. Just a few years ago, they could stay for around $160/night (which adds up when you stay a week or more!). Now it's $270/night! I feel like that is getting pretty close to Boston-proper rates. Does anybody recommend any other nearby hotels that might be comparable or cheaper in price? They won't have a car, so walking or T distance is a plus. I'll do my own research too, of course, but wanted to see what others suggest. I have already looked at and passed on the suggestions of Morrison House and A Cambridge Inn.

Thanks!
