Hotel Marlowe - a Kimpton Hotel - Cambridge, MA Reviews

The hotel Marlowe in Cambridge, MA was a great overall hotel, and for the price it was even better than expected! I had spent several weeks searching for hotels in and around Boston, MA for New Years weekend as a surprise for my husband. I decided on the Hotel Marlowe. When we arrived (after 10pm) the hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was very modern and clean. The only thing I have to say is that the lighting wasn't the best. If you like bright lighting when you are getting ready you will be dissappointed. Also the shower has about 5 shower heads that are in all… read full review »

My husband & I brought our 1.5yr old to the Hotel Marlowe and had a great time. A full size crib (not pack n play) was already in our room at check-in, provided with sheet & warm child-sized blanket. In the morning, we walked to the Museum of Science - an easy 5 minute walk. Throughout our stay my husband & daughter went to the adjacent mall several times for shopping.

The Hotel Marlowe was luxurious while maintaining a sense of humor. The room is decorated with faux mink and leopard prints, though doesn't quite cross the line into tacky. The room was spacious and very clean and I felt right at home. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is adjoined to a shopping mall with fun places to eat and shop around. The hotel is also only a short distance from downtown Boston--without the prices.Shopping: In Hotel, connected to the Cambridgeside Galleria. Inside are The Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, Paparazzi, Macy's, Best Buy,… read full review »

The Marlowe continues in the tradition of its sister hotel (Monaco--one of my favorites) by providing luxury within a very modern, funky-elegant setting. The design and decoration are fun and colorful. Stunning really. I loved finding the leopard print robe hanging in my ruby-red-walled room. There were a couple of things missing in the room -- a corkscrew, coffee with caffeine....slight annoyances -- but otherwise the service was great, and the staff was REALLY great and friendly.Dining: Short Drive, The nearby Central Kitchen has a beautiful bar and restaurant, and fabulous food. Short taxi… read full review »
