The Hotel Marlowe is great. The style of the rooms is very hip and urban and you get all the amenities of a true boutique hotel. The odd thing about it is that it is basically attached to the Cambridgeside Galleria (which is the local shopping mall). It also seems that this is the basic attraction in the general area of this hotel, so if you want to go on vacation and spend lots of time shopping at a mall (that is probably very similar to the one you have in your town) this is the hotel for you! This hotel is fairly close to the Lechmere T stop on the Green Line, so you can get downtown fairly easily if you want to. It is also pretty convenient to some of the more northern attractions, such as the Science Museum and the Fleet Center (or the TD BankNorth Garden, as they are calling it these days). It would also be a great place to stay on a business trip if your company is located in Cambridge.
Enjoy!
