Cheap hotels/motels in Somerville/Cambridge?

[journeystar.livejournal.com]

My parents are going to try and come visit me on the 16th-18th of this month, however it seems all hotels are over $100 a night! Does anyone have any suggestions for cheaper alternatives in the area? Smaller motels? Bed and breakfasts? Someplace that won't be horribly expensive? I appreciate your help :)

Have you tried Morrison House (http://www.morrisonhousebnb.com/)?

If they're full, Cambridge Gateway Inn (http://www.cambridgegatewayinn.com/) is advertising $89/night.

I've occasionally also had luck with hotels.com--they've got the Quality Inn in Lexington for $85/night.

Good luck!

I generally advise people against Cambridge Gateway (formerly Susse Chalet). It's not a long walk from Alewife but it's an unpleasant walk, and there's nothing to walk to except a bowling alley and the T station. No restaurants.

Well, there's a Bertucci's at the T station...
