June 22 2007: The Hotel Marlowe is where I stayed when visiting work colleagues when I was at Monitor Group. This is where they put us up on sell weekend as well as it's around the corner from Monitor's offices. This hotel is plush. Soft, colorful, stylish fabrics cover the hotel lobby, which is like walking into PM lounge in Manhattan. Staff are very attentive and helpful. Nice coffee in the morning. Rooms stylishly appointed, very comforable. Nice size. This is one hip hotel. This is a great boutique hotel for business or pleasure - expecially if someone else is paying!

June 9 2007: The Hotel Marlowe is very hip, bordering on trippy. Check-in was fast and easy. When I entered the room, music was playing and I was struck with the leopard print carpet and the faux fur blanket on the bed. The room was in excellent condition. Room service was prompt. The hamburger was delicious, but cost $18. I was too hungry to care.The hotel in near the Lechmere station, so it would be easy to tour the city without a car or cab. The other side of the hotel is the "CambridgeSide Galleria", the area mall. You can get Starbuck's, visit Border's, etc. Very convenient.Finally, the location adjacent to the Charles River provides a beautiful area to jog or walk.
Since this was for a job interview, I was oblivious to the cost.
