The most expensive hotel rates are typically in mid-May (college graduation season) and September and October (Conferences and Foliage). If you have flexibility, I’d play around with your dates to see if there’s a big difference in hotel rates. Hotel prices vary A LOT, even from day to day. So where should you stay in Boston and how do you find a hotel to fit your budget? I’ve got all the details and breakdown in Where to Stay in Boston on a Budget, but here’s the quick breakdown. Just because hotel prices are more expensive than other cities, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t come visit (because you should) and doesn’t mean you can’t get a great deal, because you can– please just be realistic before budgeting $100-150/night, unless your willing to stay in a hostel or rent a room through AirBnB. You’ll be happy to know they dropped down a few spots to the #6 ranking for AirBnB, but still…. If you ever read any “Most Expensive Cities to Visit” or “Cities with the Most Expensive Hotel Rates”, you’ll usually find Boston on the top of those lists– even worldwide lists too! I think at one point, Boston was the most expensive city for AirBnB bookings. And staying outside the city usually doesn’t save you much money when you factor in the cost of travel and your time.
