Hotel Marlowe - a Kimpton Hotel

Good value

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.

Great deal and location

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.

Outstanding Hotel

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

Outstanding in all ways

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.

Good value

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.

Comfortable and convenient

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.

Excellent!!!!! Beautiful! Comfortable!

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

Very nice hotel

The hotel was great, but we had two taxi drivers who had great trouble getting us to an address a few miles away. They were Haitian and had language problems. The first driver charged a correct fare even though he had driven a few extra miles. The second driver charged us $19 for an $8 cab trip. I explained our first snafu to doorman, but even he really didn't get the problem. We needed cabs with GPS.

Outstanding Hotel

Great hotel, spacious, elegant , comfortable... accomodating. Able to use complimentary bikes to get around Boston and Cambridge, beautiful surroundings, attatched mall was great for rainy afternoons, Charles River boat rides/ tours begin right outside attatched mall. Everything within walking/ biking distance. Extremely friendly staff overall. One would not rest until they found on-line the information we were looking for. Another provided us with a temporary pet ( fish ) when we admired one sitting on the lobby countertop. Plenty of top of the line ( Aveda) products in bathroom. Cozy leopard print robes in the closet if desired. Friendly down to earth people greeted us at the door. Very friendly checkout service.

Outstanding Hotel

Great atmosphere and attentive staff. Good location, having the hotel connected to the Galleria is actually a great time/money saver whether there for business or pleasure ... better than being in tourist trap area.

Watch out for parties

My wife and I brought our 1 year old to Boston and chose to stay at the Marlowe because the price was great and we were still close to everything. Our stay was very enjoyable, but we did have to listen to the thump,thump of some dance music coming from the second floor for a while on a Saturday night (apparently there was some kind of party going on...wedding reception or something like that). We were on the 4th floor, so I can't imagine what the noise was like for someone on the third floor (just above the conference/reception area). This didn't really sour our opinion of the hotel, but that may be something worth looking into if you're booking a room here and don't want to listen to someone else's music.
