As some of you might have read, I have to bring Matthew up to Boston for the next round of the Red Bull Driver Search the first week of August. Obviously, this wasn't in my budget. I've been checking on places to stay near the Boston F1 Outdoor track near East Bridgewater. Damn hotels up in that area are EXPENSIVE, somewhere between $130-150 a night.

Is there anyone on this board that might live fairly close to there that might have a room for Matthew and I to lay our heads for 3-4 nights??? I feel like a bum asking but it's really going to put a crimp in the budget (credit card) that I really can't afford to make right now. Of course, I can't afford to not let him go for this chance of a lifetime either. Either way I'm heading up there even if I have to bite the bullet but I just thought I'd ask anyway.

OR....

If you know of a reasonable hotel fairly close to there, that would help too. Anything to save me a little money would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Well, Steve, I may be able to help. After all, I work for the Ritz-Carlton, which is owned by Marriott. I can (and will) be glad to see what we have in the area for you. Typically, if the hotel is not overly busy, I can get a Friends Rate at a Marriott for between $39 and $79. I will see what I can do for you and Matthew (after all, he and I have the same name - I gotta help if I can!). I'll PM or e-mail you with what I find..

I forgot to ask, what nights do you need? Also, where is the venue so I can try to find something close?
