GREAT HOTEL; NICE AREA; QUIET AT NIGHT
GREAT HOTEL TO STAY IF YOU WANT TO SEE BOSTON. SUBWAY TERMINAL IS LESS THAN 50 YARDS WHEN YOU WALK OUT OF REAR OF HOTEL. STARBUCKS IS INSIDE ALONG WITH A RESTAURANT. A FOOD COURT IS LOCATED NEXT DOOR AND DUNKIN DONUTS IS A 4 MINUTE WALK. QUIET AT NIGHT NOT MANY PEOPLE WALKING AROUND. LOCATED ACROSS FROM MIT. NICE POOL AND WORKOUT AREA. STAFF WAS GREAT. I WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN. KING BED WAS VERY COMFORTABLE. HOTEL HAS PARKING GARAGE AND PUBLIC GARAGE IS NEXT DOOR.

SUBWAY TERMINAL IS RIGHT OUT OF BACK DOOR OF THE HOTEL. YOU CAN GET INTO BOSTON AND BACK QUICKLY. SAVED LOTS OF MONEY USING SUBWAY INSTEAD OF CABS. QUIET AT NIGHT. YOU CAN GET A GOOD NITE'S SLEEP. KING BED WAS VERY COMFORTABLE.

Boston - great trip
Loved the location of this hotel -by the T and across the street from MIT. Starbucks in the lobby - pretty easy to get anywhere, and Legal seafood is on the corner.

Go to Fenway to a Red Sox game if you are there during baseball season - it is almost 100 years old and worth the experience - a fan or not!

Great place to stay
Very clean, great access to the "T", close to downtown, close to Logan Airport, and you could see Fenway Park from my room (the whole purpose of my trip). I had the best hamburger I have ever tasted in the hotel resturant/bar. I didn't deal too much with any of the staff but the ones I did were polite and helpful. I will stay there again when I get the chance.

Super Satisfied Customers
Best Cambridge Location
The hotel was great, the location was even better. Take the "T" wherever you go, get a Charlie Card.

Short walk from hotel
Take the "T" from the airport and back. From the airport, take the Silver Line (right outside baggage claim) to the South Station, transfer to the Red Line Outbound Alewife, and then get off at the Kendall MIT stop. Walk up the Main St. steps and you will enter the back doors of the Marriott. You will save more than $30.00 over a cab ride and get there much quicker!!!

Nice Boston area motel
We went to Boston to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Not having been to Boston before, we weren't sure about staying on the other side of the Charles River, away from downtown. It turned out to be an excellent decision. The hotel was clean and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the concierge staff was helpful. We arrived in the morning for an afternoon check in, and they had our room ready for us. I had some special requests due to allergies, and the staff accommodated my needs. It was nice to return to the quiet hotel after a long day of sight seeing in the more crowded areas of town. The subway station was literally across the street from the hotel. We had no need for a car and took the subway, or T, as they call it, everywhere. We purchased a week long Charlie Pass for $15 at the airport. What a deal. We enjoyed browsing in the nearby MIT bookstore. There were also good breakfast options near the hotel, like Cosi, Starbucks and Bon Pain For dinner, we'd decide what type of food we were in the mood for, then take the subway to the restaurant. I can honestly say we didn't have one bad meal in Boston. Legal Seafood is two blocks from the hotel. That was one of our better meals. Other sightseeing things we enjoyed on our trip were the whale watch, John Adams homestead, and the international food court that is Faneuil Hall.

Boston first timer
Awesome!
We picked this hotel because it was rated highly, was located in Cambridge, and was right next to the T, which by the way is the easiest way to get anywhere in Boston for just a few bucks. We liked everything about the Marriott, and we will stay there again when we return to Boston.

Great Location
This hotel lived up to all of the usual Marriot standards: comfortable rooms, helpful staff, wecoming lobby. What makes this hotel special is the location. It is literally on the Red Line, whcih is a very useful line, but does not at all feel like it is on a subway line. Taking the subway was very easy and turned out to be much faster than taking a taxi. The hotel is two short blocks away from the River Charles, and is next to Kendall Square, which has good places to eat and things to do.
