ALTHOUGH THIS INFORMATION IS DATED, the hotels/motels and their phone numbers are probably still valid, and are a useful starting point. ---------------------------------------------------------- Notes by Bob Walton, Sun Sep 2 21:33:32 EDT 2001 BOSPRE has not made any provision for overnight team accommodations, and I have only marginal expertise in this. Here is a best quick effort done in 2000 which worked for some folks in that year. You might do better on the web. Its my impression that rooms in Boston are not readily available. However rooms in surrounding communities have been available, even only 5 days before the contest (in 2000). There are a zillion motels within 1 hr drive of most parts of Boston. Some near Lexington, the town I live in, are (prices and phone numbers are for 2000): Sheraton-Lexington Inn, nice, largish, $109 2-bed room 781-862-8700 Ramada Sovereign Hotel, OK, $109 2-bed room 781-275-6700 Bedford Motel, a step down in quality but its been adequate for friends in the distant past, $95 2-bed room 781-275-6300 In 2000 all these last three had rooms on the Monday before an Oct 21 contest.
