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 :)

Hotel Tria is at Fresh Pond, not horribly far from Davis.
I did an "extend your weekend package" search for that weekend with two adults and got the price of $229.

Good luck!

That used to be called the Best Western Homestead; I did not know they had changed their name. You can walk to Alewife station from there. It's not a beautiful walk, through suburban strip-mall sprawl, but a lot better than from the Cambridge Gateway.

They did some remodeling and renamed it some time last year, and also added a Starbucks. The nice thing about this place, I think, is that it's right next to Whole Foods. If I were traveling I'd rather stay near Whole Foods (so I can maybe get healthier food to eat) instead of the other place right next to it, 99, or the likes of it.

99 is a restaurant, not another hotel.
