“Wonderful Hotel”
Hotel Marlowe was wonderful. Great location and a very clean room. The animal print robes were a great plus! Would stay here again for our next trip to Boston.
“Very Satisfied”
The hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful. The room was well equiped and clean. Very impressed.
“Great base for Boston”
Although on the "wrong" side of the river in Cambridge, this hotel was a great base for Boston. The T (transit) was easy to access (5 minute walk) and there was underground access to the Cambridgeside Galleria (Shopping Mall). As we stayed 5 nights, we were upgraded to a "view room" with great views of Boston. We had a kingsized bed, which was very comfortable. We'd definitely stay there again.
“Terrific Hotel”
My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Marlowe while we attended a class reunion and were extremely pleased with the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were immaculately clean and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. For anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay while visiting Cambridge or Boston, this is a wonderful choice. It is also "dog friendly" for those who would like to bring a pet.
“Marlowe”
Stayed for one night, so i cannot say much about housekeeping or an extended stay. Check in was easy as expected and we were received courteously. we asked about restaurants in the vicinity and were given good recommendations. the hotel itself is very nice as is the restaurant there. the cambridge area is not where you want to be though - there are better areas to be in boston.
“A Great Choice!”
Very pleased, would definitively go back!
“Nice hotel”
Nice place
“Great weekend get away!!!”
Can not say enough about the helpful staff and the beautiful decor of this hotel.
“Cambridge stay”
Bad start when we arrived at 11 PM and no parking valet or help with bags. Not a way to make a first impression.SInk backed up in room and phone not working - both handled efficiently but why should I have to tell them that. Otherwise a nice room and very helpful and friendly staff.
“Love Kimpton”
We have stayed at other Kimpton hotels in the Boston area, and I can't say enough about their overall quality of experience. The hotel is classy and kid-friendly. The wine hour was great for the adults, and there was a Wii set up for the kids. Perfect!
