Nearby places to stay?

I have some relatives and pseudo relatives coming into town who don't want to crash here. Where would you suggest putting folks up? Relatively inexpensive, but also not hard to find.

Closest hotel to Davis is the Hawthorn Suites. It's on the right side of Mass. Ave. immediately after you cross Route 16 into Arlington.

Hawthorn suites is pleasant and comfortable, and it's hard to get much cheaper within a reasonable radius of Davis.

And you can take the 77 to Davis.

Sort of. You can take the #77 to the St. John's Church stop, and walk up Dover Street to Davis Square.

Or you can just walk from the hotel, which is what I recommend. Walk up Mass. Ave. to Cameron Avenue, then up the bike path to Davis.

I consider that "to Davis square" :). At least, that's how I typically bus to Davis (from a bit farther inside of Arlington).

[ron_newman]

Sure, but an out-of-town visitor would never know to do this. There are no signs on Mass. Ave. showing how to walk to Davis Square.

Morrison House (http://www.morrisonhousebnb.com/), just off College Ave. is quite reasonably priced and pleasant--a couple of friends have had their parents stay there in the past few months and everyone has been pleased with it.

C'est vrai! Indeed it is. And wow, that's the first time (outside literary_theory) that anyone has asked me that!

Meacham Manor is behind the Davis T on Meacham Road. It's a little B&B, cheap and clean and homey. They're at Meacham-Manor.com

Cool! So we have 2 B&Bs in Davis. :-)
