Went to Boston for the first time, stayed at this Bed and Breakfast and LOVED it! The food was great, great staff, free internet available (only one computer though so we had to share with the teenagers). The only thing I didnt like was we were on the top floor, and our shower was on the slope of the roof... more

This was our second attempt to stay at this B&B, we should have learned our lesson the first time!!! Five years ago the employees were rude...and they still are! This place looks romantic but lacks luster in its personnel and honesty is not their fortey either! We were to stay in a room in the winter with no working heat... more

We visit Cambridge 4 or 5 times per year, and usually stay in one of the big name hotels. In surfing for a reasonable price, I came across the Mary Prentiss Inn B&B. Since it was literally half the price of the Marriott, we decided to give it a try. We're happy we did. For $114 we got a large,... more

I really liked this Inn for the price, the location, and the fact that we parked underground for free! That makes a big difference, especially when taking the car in around Boston would have been too hectic. We booked a loft bedroom that was absolutely lovely in decor and layout. The bathroom was divine, and everything very, very clean. The... more

The place looks nice enough, but beware of a rude concierge woman who doesn't care about your business. I'm having family come into town in late May and want to treat them to a 'thank you gift'- So this Inn was the closest/nicest lodging to my apartment. I called last night and was told that the place was booked, but... more

We stayed here for a night on January 11th. We have stayed several times before over a number of years, but whilst trying to book this time i found it slightly confusing that I could obtain three different prices for rooms. The Inns own web site had one price, [-----] another and on phoning the inn I was told (after... more

This inn is a great option for college shopping families. An easy walk to the Harvard campus or the T station. Lots of restaurants nearby, and a drugstore just across Mass. Ave. During our stay the only real shortcoming was the understaffing at breakfast -- one harried server trying to wait on everyone. An easy solution would be a buffet... more

We are from the UK and booked the Inn on the basis of recommendations. Firstly it is situated in a minor road of a major road in an apparent residential area. The property is old and maybe quaint but situated quite far from Central Cambridge. Cambridge Town area is a disappointment, drunks and vagrants, small measly shops and a bit... more

We booked two rooms for ourselves and my in-laws for 4 nights and really enjoyed it. The made to order breakfasts every morning were great and the staff were always very friendly and helpful. It is within walking distance to Harvard and the other colleges and very close to underground transportation into Boston. We would definitely stay there again and... more

We stayed here for three nights while we went apartment hunting in Cambridge. What a wonderful place! Beautiful rooms (due to our last minute booking we ended up staying in two rooms, 19 and 6), clean, comfy... Free wifi which you can use in your room, a nice patio to hang out and enjoy the sun on, tea and home-made... more
