<p>Any recommendation where to stay on Aug 24-26 before move in day?</p>
<p>Check on travelocity or expedia for the best rates. The closest hotels around Harvard Square:</p>
<p>The Charles Hotel In Harvard Square
Le Meridien Cambridge-MIT
DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Boston - Cambridge
Courtyard Boston Cambridge</p>
<p>As the closest hotels significantly boost their prices around move-in days, freshman/junior parents weekend, the game, graduation etc, we’ve stayed in hotels that are about 15-20 minutes away. If you have a car, they are easy to get to:</p>
<p>The Westin Waltham Boston
Embassy Suites Boston-Waltham
Courtyard Boston Woburn-Burlington</p>
<p>We have always stayed at the Harvard Square hotel and satisfied with it. You can also try airbnb.</p>
<p>Thanks,
My son will fly for Fall Clean Up week and we will drive from Pittsburgh to spend Friday and Saturday with him. We found Hotels in the I-95 belt that are more affordable. I guess we have to pay for parking in Cambridge.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, there was free or reduced parking for move-in day at the Harvard Stadium Parking Lot. See: [Harvard</a> Yard Operations](<a href=“http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~yardops/move-in_info.html#arrive]Harvard”>http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~yardops/move-in_info.html#arrive)</p>
