While our condo was being renovated my husband and I lived at the Hawthorn Suites. Because we were staying for weeks we were able to negotiate a very reasonable rate directly. The room was clean and quite comfortable. This is no luxury hotel, but a very good deal for the money. Plenty of free parking, and a bus stops right across the street that can take you to the Red Line - Porter Square or Alewife - T stops.
My parents now stay at Hawthorn every time the visit -- less than half the price of a Cambridge hotel but they get more space and a kitchenette. What a deal!
