Top tips for finding perfect Boston hotel deals

• If you’re looking for a cheap hotel in Boston, you should consider visiting during the low season. You'll find cheaper accommodations in Boston in January and December.
• Hotel room prices vary depending on many factors but you’ll most likely find the best hotel deals in Boston if you stay on a Saturday. The opposite is true for, Tuesday, which is usually the most expensive day.
• Book at least 90 days before your stay begins to get the best price for your Boston accommodation.
• The cheapest 3-star hotel room in Boston found on KAYAK in the last 2 weeks was $90, while the most expensive was $831.
• How long should you stay? KAYAK users usually book their accommodation in Boston for 2 days.
• Boston hosts many different kinds of conventions throughout the year, so make sure to keep the most important ones in mind and book hotels in advance. The best time to find cheap hotel prices is when there is a lull between conventions, as the number of individuals booking hotels is particularly low.
• Don’t assume that staying at a hotel in the suburbs is always cheaper than staying at a hotel downtown. Depending on how many people you are traveling with and whether or not you are using a car, the costs of gas, parking fees, and public transportation tickets can add up quickly. It might not be more economical to stay, for example, at The Hampton Inn in Cambridge rather than the one in Boston proper.
• Keep in mind that Boston is a popular college town with many different renowned universities. If you don’t want to be surrounded by college kids throughout your trip, book your hotel away from the large school campuses like Boston Common and Fisher College. Staying in the Wharf or the harbor is a safe bet; the Battery Wharf Hotel is an upscale but conveniently located choice.
• Traveling with your family? Consider a hotel in Boston’s Financial District, such as The Langham. Conveniently located near the New England Aquarium, the Faneuil Hall marketplace and Boston Common, it has beautiful ocean views and is perfect for groups that would like to be able to walk to all the different main attractions. The Boston Harbor Hotel is another great option.
• If you’re interested in seeing a young and unique side of Boston, look at Boston’s newest neighborhood, Seaport. The mixture of old warehouses and modern architecture makes it a fun neighborhood to explore. The Westin Hotel is one of the most popular choices in this area.
