We asked for a high-up room, and received a king-bed one on the 22nd level. It was compact by US standards, and the bathroom in particular was small, but the design layout was most ingenious and worked well. Everything was very clean, and naturally there was a beautifully comfortable Marriott bed. From the corner window at night there was a... more

As a heavy business traveller, I spend more nights in this hotel than any other. I LOVE the staff. Scott, Javier and Aycon are great in Characters and the menu has vastly improved over the past 6 months. The concierge lounge is always stocked and manned by very friendly people. My beef with this hotel is an old one, but... more

We stayed at the Marriott Cambridge for one night during the Head of the Charles. The hotel was spotless and well maintained but what made really impress us was the staff. Not only did they make some great recommendations for dinner, It was a rainy weekend, and they let us check out at 3pm on Sunday so my son could... more

We took our kids (12,10,7) to Boston for a Red Sox game. Since it was during spring break, all hotels in town that we were familiar with were booked or very expensive. I used Marriott points and stayed at this hotel. It was awesome! There is a T-stop right aross the street - and my kids loved riding the T... more

The subway was literally a few steps out of the hotel door was 2 stops from Harvard. I was easy to get to all the major tourism stops. The hotel itself was very clean, roomy, and had a... more

We stayed at the Marriott because of its location. I requested a room on an upper floor, and we got a room on the 22nd with a gorgeous view of the river and city in the distance. The room was modern and spotless. Because we were on foot, we parked in the garage next door (didn't splurge for valet) which... more

Rooms are OK. Buffet breakfast choice is quite limited, Lobby bar is very small and unpleasant. Hotel needs a serious upgrade to be value for money. more

The Cons: I think my unhappiness with this hotel was mainly from the standpoint that there is NOTHING around this hotel or this subway stop which was not what I had in mind when I made the reservation. The hotel has a nice restaurant that is now closed after breakfast and only the bar is open for dinner. We walked... more

I have stayed in both Marriot Hotel and Marriot Residence inn in Cambridge. Generally speaking, I like the room in Marriot Residence Inn better because it is much bigger and overall more comfortable (except the breakfast). Marriot Hotel Pros 1. Good location 2. They have 2 restaurants plus a starbucks in the hotel so it is quite convenient. 3. Great... more
