    So my buddy and I bought our tickets without researching hotels prices in boston, Sheesh!!! They are expensive! we can get a round trip flight for less than one night at a hotel.

    We are going to sessions A & B.

    Any recommendations for hotels?

    Hotels in Boston are absurdly expensive. Even no-frills places off the beaten path like the Constitution Inn in the Charlestown Navy Yard can be around $200/night on weekends. Good luck.

    Stay outside of boston and take the Train in. That might be your cheapest option.

    Airbnb is another option if you're willing to take the risk.

    Use Priceline to name your own price and there's a really good chance that you'll find something. Bid on only hotels 3.5 stars or higher in these areas and there's a really good chance you'll find something that's decent, below $150 a night, and very convenient to where you're going (especially if you find something in the Seaport District):
    1 Beacon Hill
    2 Boston Common - Theater District
    6 Copley Square - Back Bay
    8 Downtown Boston - Harbor Front
    15 Seaport District - Convention Center

    Alternate sites: Hotwire, Kayak. In most cases, if you're paying straight through the hotel sites, you're doing it wrong.

    I'm staying at the Hyatt on Saturday after session B. Room was $116 and included complimentary parking.

    The T is the way to go.

    Priceline is your friend. Check betterbidding.com to see what hotels they use. I've never spent over $125 even on marathon weekend

    You can hit up the Midtown Hotel on Huntington, bring your own sheets.

    Don't do this. The T sucks and there's nothing worse than a long train ride when you're drunk. You've already paid for flights and tickets to two sessions. Pony up the extra cash to stay somewhere that doesn't suck
