The Kendall Hotel is one of the cutest hotels I have ever seen. It is an old fire station that has been made over into a hotel. The location is very convenient - it is steps from the Kendall Square T stop and bus stop, steps from MIT as well. If any faculty or prospective students are visiting or if anyone is traveling to visit any of the pharmaceutical companies or biotech companies in Kendall Square, this would be a great hotel for you to choose! In my experience, I have found that this hotel, although it is a bit of a boutique hotel, does not really carry as much of the boutique hotel price tag (probably because it is not technically downtown). There is a great little restaurant right in the entrance of the hotel called the Black Sheep. It is also right across the street from Legal Seafoods and a few steps from Characters Bar and Grill. There is not as much going on in Kendall Square, but for what is going on, this is a great location, and it is easy to get downtown from here.
Enjoy!
