Accomodations in Boston area?

[eleanor]

I have the opportunity to attend a conference in Boston (well, at MIT) and I'm looking for a place to stay on the nights of November 15th and 16th, which is very last minute. Boston is always tough, with fewer hotel rooms in relation to visitors than NYC, and none of the hotel/travel sites have shown any availability under $200, which is way out of my range, and few rooms above that range. If anyone has any suggestions for places to stay, please let me know at at gee-mail dot com, or leave a comment here.

Thanks!
