This hotel was very nice and clean. They offered free coffee, tea, wine, were dog friendly, had super comfy beds and a bonus $20 to use in the hotel restaurant. The downside is that while the restaurant looks good on the outside, prices are high and the food is not so great. Beware of a $25 dollar daily fee which I had not idea about. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay.

So many amenities
Everyone here was so friendly and helpful. The room was also very clean and came with a fridge. The hotel is also connected to a mall! And they amenities for the dogs too in the lobby! (snacks and poop bags and toys). There was also free wine everyday from 5-6pm which I loved. And polaroids available to rent for free for the day! The only thing I might say is the restaurant is quite expensive...but its a nice hotel so you pay for what you get!

Best Hotel Stay
Our stay was wonderful. The customer service was exceptional from the front desk, restaurant and maid service. My husband and I will definitely stay at Kimpton Marlowe Hotel in Cambridge, MA again. The salmon at Bambara was the best I have ever had. Thank you.

Reasonably clean and comfortable
The hotel was reasonably clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The hallway odors were mildly unpleasant, the room had noticeable rust stains and the “resort fee” was excessive considering the very limited amenities beyond standard.

John, Thank you for your review . The staff are amazing and have such a great time greeting and helping the guests that visit with us. Sorry to hear about the odor in the hallway, we wash the carpets weekly to prevent odors. Teh resort fee includes the 10 food and beverage credit all year long as well as newspapers, Bedside reading program, Wifi, streaming, access to our gym and a local gym as well as seasonal items.

No dogs allowed
Nice ok, so-so service. Pet-friendly and dogs barking and howling in rooms. No dogs should be allowed and people shouldn't leave an animal alone in a hotel room. I had to request another room and didn't care to be around them on every floor on my vacation. The gym is nothing great and the room feels like a closet with low ceiling.

Thanks for sharing, we understand that our pet friendly ways aren't for everyone so we thank you for the feedback. We can/should do a better job manging the barking and howling.

Horrible book I will never stay at this location again 1000.00 for two nights guest have no special accommodations or features everything seems like it’s focused on outsiders including the pop up bar no room service no help when asked where to eat or shop just terrible I asked for a room with a tub did not get that either.

Hello Julia, Sorry to hear of your experience. I see that you booked a King Bed Courtyard View room, those do not come with tubs, our suites have the large jacuzzi tubs. I will speak with team as we have a list to give out of our fav places to dine and shop. We also keep this list on our website as well . Please feel free to reach out to the hotel manager directly to discuss and rectify.

Needs to offer more facilities. Had issues with double billing…
Response from Hotel Manager on Feb 8, 2024
Jochen, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the double billing. In the summer, we offer more such as our paddleboards and kayaks and amazing outdoor seating area with lawn games ...we do have our gym, passes to the athletic club, the restaurant and living room area. We wish we could have all the bells and whistles, but space is limited. We do hope to see you again in the future.
