Accomodations in the Cambridge area are typically moderate to expensive, or are not convenient to public transportation.  The following are listed in roughly decreasing price and increasing distance from CfA (excepting the last one).  Prices do not include the room occupancy tax of 12.45%.

If you have problems with availability with these, you may have to go for a more expensive hotel room in Harvard Square (Charles Hotel, Inn at Harvard, etc.), try Kendall Square (Mariott Hotel), or try something downtown or in the Back Bay.

A larger listing of Cambridge and Boston area hotels -- albeit with little information about each other than a WWW link, address, and phone number -- can be found at the CfA Travel Office website.
