Best Hotel to stay in near Tufts?

Hi Experienced Jumbos! DS3 was just accepted to Tufts and we (and he) are so so excited! DS2 is at Harvard, so we are very familiar with staying in Harvard Square, but was wondering if there might be a hotel a little closer to Tufts for the April Admitted Students visit. I'd like DS3 to get a feel for the Tufts area. Will stay in Harvard Square if that is best option, but just wanted to check and see if anyone has any advice. Thanks!
