My family and I had a great two-night stay at the Kimpton Marlowe. The location was fantastic, allowing us to walk to several attractions and explore the bike paths along the Charles River. While the amenities offered were enjoyable, including a complimentary wine hour, I was taken aback by the additional 'amenities fee' that wasn't clearly communicated at check-in. Overall, I would recommend this hotel due to its comfortable accommodations and helpful staff, despite the surprise fee.

My stay at the Kimpton Marlowe was quite pleasant overall, though there were a couple of hiccups. The cleanliness and comfort of the room stood out, and the staff were exceptionally helpful, going above and beyond. However, I was frustrated by the parking fees and the hold on my credit card, which took longer than expected to be released. Still, the beautiful views and amenities largely made up for these issues. 😊
