<p>My son and his uncle are visiting Amherst just after Thanksgiving. Any advice on a cheap but nice place for them to stay in the area?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Try hotels/motels in Springfield, greatest selection in area.</p>
<p>UMass Amherst has a hotel in the center of their campus that DS and I stayed in. I think it was $75 for the night. The students were very professional with service and it was nothing fancy, but clean!</p>
