I'm surprised by all the gushing about this hotel. It's OK. I'll even go as far as to say it's above average. But excellent? No way. Someone below even wrote that the furnishings were tasteful....yeah right, ,maybe if you're a pimp. Some positives first. Arriving at the hotel you'll find that the lobby is offset from the road in a... more

This is one of the few hotels that lived up to, perhaps exceeded, the hype and photos on the hotel website. We chose it because the price was better than downtown Boston and we wanted to spend some time in Cambridge, too. The hotel is nicely situated between two easily walkable T stops (Lechmere and Science Center) and it's a... more

Stayed from July 5-10 and was very, very pleased with the Hotel. First trip to Boston with the family and loved the room and the staff was great and also having the mall and T-rail near was great. Thank you for making our trip a 10. more

Friendly service and elegance greeted us the moment we arrived at the Marlowe. After being ushered in by the ever-attentive doorman, we checked in with ease and proceeded to our room. Although clean and beautifully furnished, the room faced the courtyard. We inquired at the front desk and were upgraded at no additional cost to one of the rooms facing... more

Good but not Immpresive! Liked the room, but was disappointed with few things..viz., the bar door in the room was locked. Got it open on the first night (did not get to use it though). Then, found it locked again on third night (just when we wanted to get something). No microwave available. Refigirator and coffee maker was provied on... more

We stayed at the Marlowe for a long weekend in July, and stayed in their "King Deluxe View" The positive: - Accessible location to greater Boston just a few minutes walk to the Lechmere T stop. Cut through the canal park to save a little bit of time. - Friendly-but-not-too-friendly staff - A generally good-sized room, kept clean and with... more

My sister and I stayed at the Hotel Marlowe for two nights in June. I have stayed at several other Kimpton hotels around the country where I've had great experiences, and the Hotel Marlowe was right up to par with these other properties. The hotel is decorated in the usual unusual Kimpton style. The staff went above and beyond to... more

Hotel Marlowe was a nice place to stay. It was close to the subway, within walking distance of MIT, and was connected to a local mall for quick shopping or a bite to eat. The rooms were clean and very nice. The staff was always pleasant and helpful. They also had complimentary drinks in the lobby each evening. The only... more

This is a great hotel for the solo female business traveller. They have heaps of comforting features, such as a CD and CD player in the, yoga gear and a yoga CD in the minibar, and nice bathroom accessories. I actually used the gym! The windows were big, the room spacious, and the furnsihings tasteful. I would definilelty stay here... more
