Practical information

 

Where do I sleep?

Inexpensive:

  1. The Boston Youth Hostel

Your most basic option.

http://www.bostonhostel.org

6 bedded dorm rooms: $32/night per person
Private rooms: $87/night + $3 fee per person

Private rooms accommodate one or two persons.
Dormitory rooms hold six guests and are divided into male, female, and co-ed rooms

To get to the meeting: take T green lines B,C, or D from Hynes/ICA for one stop to Kenmore or line B two stops to Blandford St. Or, just walk over to Commonwealth. Avenue (pronounced "commave" by the locals) and walk west a few blocks. This is what I would personally recommend.

 

Moderate:

2. Howard Johnson Fenway

Probably the best bet for not too expensive lodgings, and a short walk from the meeting

Phone: 617 267-8300

Prices: $100-115 per night for 1-4 people two double beds.

Note that if 4 people are willing to share two double beds, this is cheaper than the hostel!

This seems like the best bet and is close by, so I am going to try to get group rates. I will post the information here if I succeed.

To get to the meeting: walk over to Brookline Ave and then go north on Brookline Ave until you reach Kenmore, then walk east one block on Comm. Ave.
