Conveniently located and friendly staff . Accommodations were clean and contemporary . Room view stunk. Ask for higher floors and good view !

Iliyana Stareva

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.

nothing 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 Su

Nice hotel and helpful staff . Ask for a coffee machine and tea kettle for the room. Wine HH at 5 daily.

Diane Sturgeon

Hotel 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 Purcell

My favourite of the 3 hotels I've stayed in Cambridge. Hotel has nice rooms and a cool vibe.

Ben Ward

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.

Awesome 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 Daer

If 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.

Barry Schuler

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 Daer

Closest 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.

Kristina Buenafe

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!

Stayed here for a friends wedding. Really nice hotel . Hotel bar called Bambara was really nice as well .

Warm, welcoming, and the wine reception didn't hurt! We love Kimpton Hotels , and since they're so pet friendly - we can bring the puppies!

Shawna K

This is the best hotel ever. The staff are so helpful and friendly , especially Justin and Connie.

Adam Leibsohn

It'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 Smith

If you're concerned about your dog having a good time, make an appointment with the Pampered Pooch service!
