Hotel recs?

[drloretta]

OK Boston experts, I need recs for a friend. She wants a hotel along the T in the city for $150/nt or less. And....go!

Not possible unless she does priceline or hotwire. I have had great success getting the Hyatt Regency in downtown crossing for around $120/night and other places.

Use www.betterbidding.com to determine what the hotels are that are being offered.

That's what I thought, but I figured I'd ask. I heard good things about the Omni parker House and found good rates there once upon a time. I fear she's just going to the hotel site and getting sticker shock. That and she's cheap. There, I said it

Eh, the parker house is OK, but the cheapest rooms have double beds and are just about the size of a closet.

I agree that the Parker House is super small. I stayed once at the Park Plaza for $99 and those rooms are shoebox sized as well. I think the Hyatt Regency is a good pick and close to the T. Hotels.com also gives good deals.

How about the Midtown? Its not fancy, but the location is good.

She could try the Cambridge Marriott. Or Hotel MIT or whatever it's called now. 

But yeah I agree with priceline and shoot for Back Bay/Copley.

I have had good luck with the hilton garden inn near fan hall, and the raddison in the theater district.
