Kevin MacApril 29, 2016Conveniently located and friendly staff. Accommodations were clean and contemporary. Room view stunk. Ask for higher floors and good view!
By far my favourite hotel not just in Cambridge but in Boston & even around the world! The service is outstanding (bringing me dumbells in my room!), spacious with cool furnishing and huge beds rooms.
✨Pun Bandhu ✨October 24, 2012nothing says comfort and home like a King size feather bed and firm feather pillows to sink into. Kimpton hotels are the BEST. Especially if you bring your pooch (your pet treated like king too).
Jason SuJanuary 3, 2022Nice hotel and helpful staff. Ask for a coffee machine and tea kettle for the room. Wine HH at 5 daily.
Diane SturgeonApril 16, 2016Hotel Marlowe is the absolute BEST! Customer service second to none, they treat my dog like the queen that she is & are pretty good to her human family as well. It's worth every penny!
Stephen PurcellMay 18, 2016My favourite of the 3 hotels I've stayed in Cambridge. Hotel has nice rooms and a cool vibe.
The rooms are great. Good size, very comfy beds. Then there's a lovely cosy fireplace area in the lobby and the bar is nice too.
Alice DaerMay 30, 2013Awesome MIT breakfast spot is Tatte on 3rd St, 10 mins from hotel. But their coffee is so-so. Grab something from Voltage across the street from Tatte instead. Admire nerd celebs on their laptops.- Alice DaerMay 30, 2013If you've got business in Kendall Square, turn right when you walk out front entrance driveway from hotel, then follow signs to Kendall. It's about a 10-minute walk in good weather.
Nice Kipton in great location. It is a pet friendly hotel so when the Terrier in the room next door is yapping its head off, not so friendly to the biz traveller.- Alice DaerMay 30, 2013Closest subway station is the Lechemere green line stop, but it's not the best line to take and is a pain in the cold. Take the free Cambridgeside Galleria shuttle to Kendall to get redline instead.
The manager left us a cheese plate, a bottle of wine, chocolates, and a nice note welcoming us for our secret weekend. Such wonderful customer service!

WillMay 4, 2013Beds are incredibly comfortable and the extra electrical outlets are appreciated. Would love to come back to try the kayaking.
Put your animal skin robe on and head downstairs for a free glass of wine.
Cory O'BrienSeptember 10, 2012Great service, great rates, and a view of the river if you get the right room. Always love staying at Kimpton hotels.
Mike CallahanOctober 6, 2014Stayed here for a friends wedding. Really nice hotel. Hotel bar called Bambara was really nice as well.- Stacy CarrollDecember 28, 2011Warm, welcoming, and the wine reception didn't hurt! We love Kimpton Hotels, and since they're so pet friendly - we can bring the puppies!
This is the best hotel ever. The staff are so helpful and friendly, especially Justin and Connie.
Adam LeibsohnNovember 4, 2011It's dog friendly. Don't forget to say hi to Toby, the big boxer behind the desk. And leopard/zebra print robes. Easy tiger.
Jake SmithMarch 21, 2015If you're concerned about your dog having a good time, make an appointment with the Pampered Pooch service!- Alice DaerMay 30, 2013Sun comes up early in Boston. Be sure to pull the blackout shades closed before you go to bed at night.
- Free wine between 5-6pm - and super friendly staff.
Jennifer ChurchAugust 29, 2013Borrow kayaks or bikes for a great way to see the city from a new angle.
On addition of complimentary Winehouse Events from 5 to 6 pm. You can go to the front desk for Wine voucher to use at the bar!
Liz LawleyMay 3, 2010Make sure you join Kimpton's inTouch program before your stay. You get free wifi, your choice of newspapers, and a $10 voucher for minibar goodies! Read more
RickJune 17, 2013From the bellman, front desk staff to housekeeping, EXCELLENT service hands down!!!!- Susan BorstFebruary 19, 2014Double deluxe rooms are nice, but all have courtyard - not water views. Room not a funky as Portland or SF.
- Wendy YorkDecember 6, 2013They are wonderful about allowing you to bring your dog with no extra fees!
Lillian MaDecember 28, 2011Best hotel stay ever! The rooms are gorgeous! It's Disney Land for adults
The best hotel chain I have ever stayed, best cost benefit ever!
Steve SillOctober 1, 2010Make sure you check in and that it is pushed to Twitter. You might end up with a thank you gift. I got a free bottle of wine.
Don't forget to say "slip n slide" all summer for a special surprise!
Ticket AlternativeJune 5, 2011For a local breakfast try Sweet Touch Cafe, a five minute walk from the hotel on Cambridge St.
DensMay 23, 2010Whoa, free wine tasting from 5-6p every night! And leopard skin rugs in every room. Meeeooowww!
The secret password from 11/15/11 - 12/31/11 is CHEERS!
Caroline McCarthyJuly 16, 2009Put on one of the leopard print bathrobes, order a bottle of room-service wine, kick your feet up, and pretend you're a bigwig.
