Here are the four hotels in the area.
The first three have GTE discounted rates.
You need to tell them that you are visiting/customer GTE.
At the moment all of them have rooms for the 29th and 30th.
It's probably worth making reservations real soon.
Just below are my own personal comments on each of them:
Best Western is the closest to our building. Not fancy, but OK.
It is walking distance, except that you wouldn't want to walk it
because you cross a very busy rotary.
Charles Hotel is in Harvard Square about 5 minutes from BBN.
It is very fancy. (The normal rate is about $250, but the GTE rate is $157.)
Sheraton Commander is right next to Harvard Square. It's supposed to be
nice. It lists subway service, but it's to the wrong place. There is
a bus that goes right in front of BBN, though. I can get the schedule
if you want to know.
Susse Chalet Motel is about 2-3 minutes from BBN, but could be much
longer at rush hour. Lowest price. It's right on the highway.
