If anyone knows of any hotels in Boston or the Boston area, that are available this weekend (its grad for Harvard and MIT)... that don't cost more than 200$, I would appreciate you letting me know.

Try www.priceline.com Just remember Boston University graduates that weekend too and besides hotel, good restaurant reservations will be hard to find.. $200.00 maybe a bargain in the end so start looking now.. Good Luck... we will be at the B.U. Graduation..50th Anniversary of his graduation for Parrot Pop..

Lots of colleges do have their commencements in May, but Harvard and MIT have theirs the first week in June.

Sorry, can't help with the hotels. Good luck!

Boston is one of the country's pricier cities for hotel rooms. Plus add the competition for accommadations during commencement and you've got quite a challenge. If it's not already full (only 40 rooms or so) is:

John Jeffries House
14 David G. Mugar Way
It's in Beacon Hill neighborhood, just off Charles Street.
Phone: (617) 367-1866
Fax: (617) 742-0313
Prices around $150, depending on size and time of year. The suites all have kitchenettes.

..

Oh, forgot to include their website which is (surprise, surprise) --- http://www.johnjeffrieshouse.com/

We stayed at the Newbury Guest House which is right on Newbury Street in the heart of the Back Bay. Rooms start at $140 for two people. Their address and phone number are:
261 Newbury Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02116
617-437-7666

The location is phenomenal, the rate includes continental breakfast, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the rooms are nicely furnished and clean. I tried to check availability for you on their website but you need to call.

I just got $150 night at the Westin in Back Bay through priceline. Try there.
