Boston people: a little help re hotels?

[Flaxbee]

It looks like I might be in Boston for one night on Friday (Oct. 2)... visiting friends from abroad who are staying in Malden (looks like about 20 minutes from Boston proper).

Can anyone suggest an affordable ($100/night range) hotel in the Malden area? I don't need anything fancy, just clean. I have only been to Boston once, and that was 15 years ago, and it was just a day trip. I am completely unfamiliar with the area, so any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks! :hi:

1. Whatever you do don't stay at the Hyatt.

3. hi gray, thanks for the link, but it didn't come up...

do you remember the name of the hotel?

What about the Best Western New Englander (Harvard University 7 Miles / Woburn)

or


Hilton Garden Inn Boston/Burlington
Near National Park / Burlington


Would these be a pain to get to from Malden?
