Hotel Marlowe - a Kimpton Hotel - Cambridge 42.3673, -71.0752

The hotel was faultless - from the check in to the check out. Quire superb.

I decided to stay in Cambridge which is just outside the city of Boston proper. It's was a short drive so it wasn't an inconvenience at all. Metered street parking was easy enough to find when we traveled into Boston. Overnight self-parking at The Marlowe is $20 for 24 hours and just underneath the hotel itself as part of the Galleria Mall (which means there's shopping and a couple of chain restaurants within a stone's throw). Valet is slightly higher, $24 I think. The hotel is beautiful. The room was immaculate. The staff couldn't be more helpful. And there was a goldfish at the front desk. We didn't eat at the restaurant but after a late night of sight-seeing without having eaten dinner, we ordered room service. The overnight menu is limited but who needs a T-bone at 3 am? Will absolutely stay here again.

Enjoyed a 5-day stay at this hotel, located about 7 min. from the Lechmere T stop and on the edge of the Cambridgeside Galeria Mall. Less than 15 min. taxi drive to Back Bay, even with morning traffic. Only problem encountered was intermittent wireless service, otherwise this was a very comfortable stay.

Had a wonderful stay for two nights. Enjoyed the wine hour and continental breakfast. The room was immaculate and the bedding is so comfortable. A great night's sleep! Highly recommend!

We stayed for one night in one of their deluxe rooms. Excellent service at the front desk, even upgraded us without any additional charge. Room was clean and bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was in superb condition too. I will return on my next visit to Boston. Highly recommended!

The rooms at the hotel have a wild animal theme with the carpets and bath robes in Zebra stripes or Cheatah pattern. The staff were very friendly and there is complimentary coffee in reception from 6am and a free wine tasting in the evening from 5:30pm. The restaurant was OK - not great and quite expensive but there are a range of local eateries in the shopping mall attached to the hotel including Cheesecake Factory and California Pizza and the obligatory food court! The hotel is situated across the river from Boston and is next to the Science Museum - the metro is a 10 minute walk and then three or four stops into Downtown crossing for access to the centre of Boston This is a nice boutique hotel at a reasonable price for the area.

Very nice staff, attractive hotel, VERY clean. I did not eat there so cannot comment on that. I would suggest a better quality of wine for the free wine hour, but I do like the concept. I use public transportation and this is on the green line "T", and bus "69" goes to Harvard Square - which was where I was everyday.I would stay there again, depending on price-I look for discounts.

This is a great hotel and a perfect location. The hotel is pet friendly and beautifully decorated. Coffee and Wine are offered in a lovely parlor with a fireplace. The decor is bright, fun, and eclectic. Will definitely stay here again!

Staff and employees very friendly. Hotel and room very clean and quiet.No outside street noise.Size of room good

I stayed here back in May and loved it so much that when I knew i was coming back i made sure I booked it again. It is a great location, just accross the river and walking distance from Boston in Cambridge. It is attached to a mall so it is ideal for shooping too. Highly recommend this hotel

This is a great hotel. Let's start with the basics - rooms, bar & restaurant all great. It's the added extras which made the difference for us. Staff were great - always friendly, always welcoming, always willing to help. Extras actually added value! You can get a bike & kayak for your own use for free. The hotel just lends you them. It's awesome. You also get free coffee in the morning and a wine reception at night. All the people we met at this hotel were also great and really friendly. The dog friendly nature of the hotel was also cool. No noise at all was caused by the dogs - I guess they are kept in a separate part of the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Service was great...room decor was fun....but will choose options other than their restaurant for food. Would definitely stay there again.

Pretty good location and a good hotel. Service was good but can be better.

The Hotel Marlowe has wonderful ambiance and warm service. Amenities are thoughtful with guest comfort in the forefront, including a great selection of books (for adults and for children). Coffee in the Lobby was actually GOOD and wine reception in the afternoon nicely done. My 2 night stay was totally stress free and the whimsical decor charming and fun.

Stayed here on my trip to take my daughter to BU. She really loved the hotel decor, as did I. Very different but not over the top. Funky but tasteful. Everything was great - except I hated the pillows. Didn't ask for different ones so I don't know if they have alternatives to the down/feather. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We found the T stop within a reasonable distance (5 minute walk) Parking not the greatest (not very convenient and $20/night) but what do you expect in a city like Boston? Would definitely stay there again. We had a lovely stay.

We were very impressed with the hotel and really liked it proximity to things such as The Science Museum, Galleria Mall and the T stops. Next time we are coming to Boston we will stay at the Hotel Marlowe.

This hotel was so cute! The rooms are decorated better than any other hotel I ever stayed in. They had leopard carpet! And they had these zebra and cheetah robes that you could wear. The service was impeccable. The only problem was the location because it was a bit of a walk to the T (around 7 minutes). It's perfect for young couples, though. Oh, and it was pretty convenient that the mall was right next door. I forgot to bring a party dress and was able to get one in 10 minutes at the Macy's next door.

We would certainly stay at this hotel again - We would make this our hotel of choice as a matter of fact. Access to Green LIne was very convenient; access to the Red Line also good. Relationship with Galleria Mall made parking reasonable. Knowing a little about Boston helped to make this Cambridge location a good choice. Staff was helpful. Met the chief engineer on the elevator. He took it upon himself to introduce himself and ask about our stay and our level of satisfaction. I thought that this showed something about the "corporate culture" at his hotel.

I am from the area so occasionally steal away for a night in the city with friends and we love the Marlow. It is clean, classy and the staff is always so nice. We love to walk to the North End for dinner and can access the trains very easily. The price is great for a really well run hotel.

I have stayed at other Kimpton hotels before. In keeping with the Kimpton brand, the Marlowe is comfortable and stylish and the service is friendly and efficient. Nice complimentary touches included coffee and wine in the evening. Would definitely stay here again.

Outstanding facility; Would highly recommend. Very "pet friendly". The staff goes beyond the call of duty to make your stay great.

My son and I got into time eary and they had a room ready for us. The staff was extremely friendly, competent, and helpfull. Cleanest hotel I've been in for a long time. Restaurant was pricey for dinner but it's Boston. Very affordable for lunch. Connected to Galleria Mall that offered manny alternative for food. My son loved the magician on Thursday in the living room area during complimentary wine for guests. Pet friendly. Great Room for the money.

We found a special on this hotel and so grabbed it up for our one night stay in Boston. It's an easy 15-20 minute walk from North Station and close to the Museum of Science, The Cambridgeside Galleria and North End where all the good restaurants are. The wine reception was excellent with full glasses of Fetzer wine and spring rolls served on the side. The room was on the small side, but we had enough room. The bathrobes were cozy. The only odd experience we had was housekeeping walking in on us about ten minutes after our arrival to inventory the minibar. She came in despite our desperate shouting to wait a minute as we were changing our clothes. So putting the do not disturb sign on the door is a must at this hotel. There are no chain locks either. Overall, I would certainly recommend this hotel and plan on staying here again.

I had a horrible stay at this hotel. Do not book a smoking room since there is no smoking allowed within a hundred feet of the place. You cannot shut the blinds at all and when the lights are on near the entrance or the sun comes up...you are going to be WIDE AWAKE. The mini bar was not locked and i refused the key before i got my room, so i have no idea if i got charged even though i informed them of it. Did not even notice a small blood stain on my pillow until the next morning. Lucky for me it was on the other side. Finally when i was leaving the garage very early in the morning, there was nobody to let anyone out of the garage. I am not kidding about anything I have posted here. Good luck to whoever checks into this overpriced dump!

The Hotel Marlowe was absolutely perfect for my fiance and I as we traveled to Boston for both work and pleasure. We lucked out with an amazing deal on hotels.com and got to enjoy this lovely hotel. We both took full advantage of the great workout room and the concierge's great recomendations for restaurants. I would definitely go back!

Family of six visiting colleges. Ideal location for visiting most Boston area colleges and the city itself. About one block from the "T" (Boston's public transportation system). You can leave the car parked and ride the "T" during your stay. Received a very good room rate. Hotel did not provide what was booked (Two doubles in each room), but did provide one King and a roll away bed in each room (Two rooms). Rooms were well kept and two day stay was quiet. Self parking was $20 per day. Breakfast at Hotel was expensive, over $120 for family of six (Two adults and four children). Be careful not to double tip, since tip is included in restaurant bill.

I'd go back at the discounted price, because of the convenience, but they had a lot of add-ons for an extra fee, which I thought was tacky. Still, it was a lovely place, and within walking distence of Harvard Yard and the T line, so Boston was very easy to manage, without a car.

Located at the Galleria Mall. Very convenient location. Nice hotel. Beds are very comfortable.

Hated the parking garage for self parking, but it wasn't the hotel's fault it is managed by the mall...
