<p>My parents want to come with me to CPW, are there any cheap affordable hotels around MIT?</p>
<p>There are a few hotels which are giving discounted rates to MIT parents -- list [url=<a href="http://web.mit.edu/admissions/cpw/forparents.html#parking-hotels%5Dhere%5B/url">http://web.mit.edu/admissions/cpw/forparents.html#parking-hotels]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>Other than that, there are tons of hotels in the Boston area. If your parents won't have a car, they should stick to hotels actually located in Boston or Cambridge; if they'll have wheels, they could stay in the nearby suburbs (which have cheaper hotels).</p>
<p>I really really l got a kick out of the <a href="mailto:hotel@mit">hotel@mit</a>. Maybe $129 online at a weird season, but worth the $159 if you've concluded that money is too slippery to retain.</p>
<p>Ditto. I love staying there. As I noted in another thread, the bedspreads were enough to keep me coming back (see pattern in upper left here</a>).</p>
<p>playstations in every room.. @_@</p>
