"Sepctral theory and Geometric Analysis conference" at Northeastern.
Northeatern
Summer Conference Housing Service
This is by far the cheapest option, just $70 per
night
which at least twice as cheap as the second best. It is also located on
campus, while from any other available hotel you need to take either
public transportation or a long walk. However, this is not really
a hotel, but an apartment style room. You will have a private room in
a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment. If you would like to use this option you
have to contact us at shubinconference@gmail.com
ASAP.
Bed and
Breakfast Associates Bay Colony
This is probably the cheapest option, except the
Northeastern Conference Housing. They have a variety
of rooms (some of them quite expensive, but some of them relatively
cheap) at different locations.
