Check in was was smooth. Was able to leave bags at desk before check in and grab a bite to eat. Staff called to let ua know when our room was ready. Room was clean. We had an issue with an electrical outlet in the bathroom as we were getting ready for an event. We let the front desk know on the way out and they offered to fix it right then. Since we were on the way out we said no. First thing in the morning maintenance came up to the room to take care of it. Was nice not haveing to call and remind them. Great service! Breakfast was good at the hotel restaurant. Complimentary glass of wine was a nice surprise. Conveinant location.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. The room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully designed, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect, with easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants. The overall experience exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip! Highly recommend.

I love Kimpton hotels. Great atmosphere, locations and very reasonable prices. The hotel Marlow is no exception. It's not in immediate downtown, but very close to Boston, Cambridge, the Museum of Science, North Station and the Boston Garden. We would absolutely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The check in and self parking was pretty easy. My only couple of negatives would be that I booked a room with a view of the river, and while technically we got the view, it was a little lackluster as we were looking at the “street view” more than the river view. Also traveling to and from the parking garage from the hotel was a little awkward, since you have to take two separate elevators. Especially when going to check out, we wanted to preload the car an hour before we checked out but didn’t want to bring the car all the way around, we ended up taking a couple of trips back and forth. Finally the room has a mini fridge but does not have a microwave in the room so just a little inconvenient if you wanted to warm up your food. Other than those small little things, the stay was great and everyone was friendly and professional!

Fantastic hotel! Great front desk ppl (big thanks to Matthew:) Super pet friendly and great amenities. Loved our stay. The checkout was a bit raucous unfortunately as there was a discrepancy with what our Expedia account was displaying and they could not explain this. Still not able to get the hotel's accounting department to get back to me.
