"Great value, beautiful views"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
We enjoyed the convenient location(right on the Endicott campus). Literally a short walk to the beach. Staff was helpful and friendly. Bed was listed as Queen size but it was actually a full size which was a bit small for the two of us. Otherwise, very enjoyable and would stay there again.
"Very nice hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Our son goes to college close by and we would stay here again. Very clean, staff was very nice and the breakfast was a bonus. Easy to get to and plenty of places to eat close by.

"Another great weekend!"
We just spent another weekend visiting my daughter in Boston with our youngest daughter and family canine member Mr. Max... We were upgraded and had such a restful and pleasant experience at the Marlowe. They never let us down in any way! My husband and daughter rode bikes around the Charles and we went shopping. It was so convenient and the staff is […] ALWAYS friendly and courteous. Weve been staying at the Marlowe for over 6 years and it is our home away from home. Read more

"Hidden Gem"
Excellent hotel. Staff let us check in at 11 am. Smelled like spray paint one day--that's our only complaint.
"Hotel Marlowe"
From the phone call a week prior to our stay to the consierge, I knew this would be a great place for us. We had Duck Tour tickets waiting for us and a reservation for a wonderful restaurant in the North End. Our room was so comfortable and clean and if we wanted to indulge in a beverage or have a snack, our mini fridge was stocked. I would definitely […] stay again and would highly recommend the Hotel Marlowe. Read more

"Hotel Marlowe"
The Marlowe was a nice place to stay. It looked nice and seemed well maintained. Staff quickly responded to any needs. The motel is within walking distance of a T station and walking time could be reduced even further by taking a short cut through a nearby mall. Due to the mall connection one could also easily obtain breakfast despite the hotel not […] offering any with a stay. If one did not want to eat at one of the mall breakfast places there was also a nearby bagel place. Also convenient within the mall is a CVS. Read more
"Perfect Location"
This hotel is located in Cambridge and is convenient to locations like MIT (15 minute walk) and is near a T-station so you can get anywhere in Boston in about 15 to 30 minutes. The staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were nice.
"Marlowe Hotel"
Excellent, friendly service. We had an excellent meal in the restaurant. Hotel is convenient to adjacent shopping mall. Our room had a wonderview of the Charles River. I would definitley recommend it. Only down side was 15 min walk to Kendall Square to catch train to Hararvard area.

"Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge MA"
The Hotel Marlowe's staff was very friendly and helpful in assisting us with our many questions. The room was very, very comfortable and clean. I enjoy the spectacular view and felt safe in my surroundings. We used the parking valet because it was right next to the Hotel. It was well worth the money to step right out to our car. There was a wonderful […] mall adjacent to the Hotel Marlowe. Although we did not visit Boston to shop at the mall mall we did pick up a couple of things there! Our stay was excellent. Read more
"Another Great Kimpton Stay"
This was our first time staying at the Marlowe and we loved it as much as the other Kimpton properties where we've stayed in the past. Although our room was small, it was very comfortable, beautifully appointed, and the layout worked fine for the two of us. The bed was really luxurious with nice linens and great pillows. The downstairs restaurant, Bambara, […] was a welcome surprise, with good food and great service. Hotel staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Parking was a deal at $20/day.

"Hotel Marlowe - Boston...great property!"
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the hotel was beautiful, clean and quiet, and the location was very convenient to so much of what Boston has to offer (including a T stop). We did not dine at the hotel, so I can't weigh in on that aspect, but all-in-all, Hotel Marlowe is an excellent choice when visiting Boston. It will become our go-to […] hotel for future trips to the area. Read more

"Great place to stay in Cambridge"
This is the second time that I have stayed here, and it is a perfect spot. It is lovely inside and conveniently connected to the CambridgeSide Galleria. It is pet friendly as well. I enjoyed the wine hour every evening, and have had good meals in the restaurant. It is a great location to stay for Harvard or MIT events, and also easy to get to downtown […] Boston. I think it is very reasonably priced for everything that it offers. I will stay here again. Read more
"Lovely Hotel"
Great service, great room, good food, good places along the river for a walk, shopping and restaurants nearby, public transit close too. Was a great stay!

"Great and very Comfortable"
The Hotel was clean and comfortable. Great all around stay. Would recommend to anyone. :)
"Trendy, upscale & comfy"
I surprised my husband with a romantic overnight at this hotel. He's a guy that loves the finer things in life, and this hotel offered it all: nice sheets, feather pillows, down comforters, robes. The complementary wine reception is great. The staff were friendly and not at all snobby or upity...just right. We would definitely stay at the Hotel Marlowe […] again. Read more

"Brings pet friendly to a new level"
We love the special attention at the Marlowe--for us and our golden retriever. Bambara is a perfect dinner option, and the attached mall a nice convenience. Long walks along the river or visits to the Museum of Science make this a terrific location for a Cambridge or Boston visit. We love the Marlowe!
"Only negative was the parking"
This is a great hotel. The only negative is the self parking. You end up parking in a huge mall parking lot. I arrived on a Saturday afternoon and almost didn't find a spot. Then finding my car when I left was a challenge. Next time I'll use valet.
"Dog-friendly boutique hotel"
An excellent choice if this is the area of Boston you wish to stay at. Kimpton Hotels are well known for their high standards and eclectic decor. No extra charge for pets either! This is the.best value in town, hands down.

"Loved it."
The room, decor, cleanliness was great. However, the pillows were too fluffy. I felt like there was no support at all. Overall great stay.
"Hotel Marlowe in Boston, MA"
Great hotel! Very nice, friendly staff. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Just 5 minutes to Boston.
"Hotel Marlowe"
Great hotel. The only issue I had is that the hotel needs to get new mattresses and pillows as the mattress is now lumpy and feathers fly everywhere. But the rooms and lounge are romantic places. You get an amazing view of the Charles River on the 8th Floor. Highly recommended hotel!

"Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge MA"
Hotel Marlowe was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The hotel seems to be newly renovated with a fun, fresh decor. The rooms have plush and comfortable bedding with bathrobes, a nice amenity. The hotel staff were very pleasant, and upgraded us to a room overlooking the Charles River. They have a wine reception each evening as part of the […] room charge. Good wine, nice appetizer, nice guests to converse with in the lobby area. We will stay at Klimpton Hotels again. Read more
"Nice location, great hotel"
I really enjoyed staying here. The restaurant was nice. There was even a free wine and snacks hour. It's right next to the Boston museam of science just to give you an idea of location. 5$ cab ride to TD garden. Would definitely go again
"The Hotel Marlowe"
A great choice if you are going to Boston -- this hotel is located on the Cambridge side of the river, a 10 minute cab ride to downtown and it has all of the amenities and comfort the Kimpton Hotels are known for and its probably less expensive than staying in Boston. The restaurant is also really good.
"hotel marlowe"
I loved it! Tha room was beautiful and the bed was plush I didn't want to leave the room!! I will definitely stay there when I go back!!
"Everything was great"
This will be our new go to place whenever we visit Boston. Great staff, location and hotel. Be sure to ask for a room facing the river and enjoy free internet, coffee bar and breakfast.
"Superlative experience, asa usual"
We look forward to staying at the Hotel Marlowe when our plans permit it. Service is immediate upon arriving there, the decor is whimsical yet upscale, the rooms are luxurious and clean without being overly pricey and their are many perks associated with Kimpton's reward program (free wi-fi, credits toward the mini-bar, obeying preferences from your […] profile on various items such as morning newspaper, type of pillow, etc). One of our favorite aspects of the hotel is the lounge, which has free coffee and tea in the morning and a free wine hour in the early evening. It's nice to enjoy a glass around the fireplace with other guests before heading out to dinner somewhere. Read more

"New Years Eve"
One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. I was able to easily valet park in front of the hotel and they watched over it the entire evening. The staff was very friendly and helped me get a reservation in the North End one hour in advance with no problem. The room was amazing with a great view of Boston. I will definitely stay here again. The room […] had an ipod dock and very comfortable bed. I would only request a larger bathroom. The 5-6pm wine reception was really cool too. Read more
"Marlowe December 2011"
This hotel is a good value and near T (train). Big problem is gouging on the part of admin by charging for making local calss from room. $1 per call. This is Robery, plain and simple. I hate Gouging!!

"Awesome!"
Great hotel. Awesome staff. Even welcomed pets (should have brought ours). This is a great hotel that I will definitely visit again.
