<p>Here’s a list of hotels that BU has on its website: <a href=“http://www.bu.edu/visit/boston/hotels/index.html[/url]”>http://www.bu.edu/visit/boston/hotels/index.html</a>. You can walk from the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge across the BU bridge to campus. Gryphon House on Bay State Road is right on the edge of campus. Also, the Best Western Terrace Inn is on the “B” Line in Brighton, but the caveat is that the “B” Line is one of the slowest arms of T’s the Green Line due to lots of stops.</p>
<p>bump de bump</p>
<p>anyone have any new suggestions??</p>
<p>It all depends on what you want to spend. First choice - Hotel Commonwealth in Kenmore Square. Then maybe Holiday Inn in Coolidge Corner. Any of the hotels in Copley Square - Sheraton Bosotn, Marriott, Westin, Copley Square Hotel, Fairmont COpley Square.</p>
<p>wait to get the Orientation packet. There may be a special rate at some of the hotels close to campus for Orientation week-ends. I also second the Priceline suggestion. I just used it for the first time to reserve a hotel and Baltimore for a conference. I got a room in a downtown hotel for $50 a night that usually goes for $130. The fact that you are looking for a downtown hotel during a week-end when there won’t be business travelers will help you.</p>
<p>LOL this thread was revived and orientation was last June! I stayed in a beautiful apartment-style dorm for less than $50/night.</p>
