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 :)

You could try the Morrison St. B& B in Davis.

Oops wait, they're full that weekend. Well, expensive hotels are just a thing about Boston. I would suggest trying a Priceline.com bid. You won't get very far below $100, but you might get $100 on the nose. That's about the best you hope for, when booking this late.

I have gotten a nice (3 star) hotel room in cambridge for $50/night through Priceline at the last minute. The key is not to be too picky about what neighborhood, I think. Or maybe I just got lucky.
