Hotel Marlowe, Cambridge, MA = More of the same
August 18, 2010
Dang. Twice in a row. My guess is that the poor beleaguered Kimpton chain has become so popular that they’re getting too full. Always. Last time I was here, I was lost in the crush. This time too. Been here before? Sure, maybe 15 times… Um, got a computer?
Everyone at the front desk is sincerely nice about giving you a room that you don’t actually want. But guess what? It’s a room you don’t want. Even the Marlowe, a long time favorite, is in need of replacement.
I’m in town for a meeting in Bedford, but instead of sucking it up and staying at the Doubletree there, I hoofed it back to Boston to stay here. Why? Good question.
No new pictures, because the old ones will do just fine.
Time to find a new Boston hotel. Hotel Marlowe barely squeaks by with four showerheads (bordering on three).
