Priceline Hotel: 4* Boston (Cambridge East - Charlestown) Marlowe A Kimpton Hotel

[Hanthala]

Used the BetterBidding PRICELINE links and booked this four star hotel for $102/night for 2 nights in March. I'm aiming to go to Harvard for an academic gathering so I'm a bit disappointed it that it's 30 or more minutes away by public transit when it's only a 10 minute drive - but nonetheless, should be able to figure it out. The tripadvisor reviews for this hotel are pretty outstanding - I'm confused as to how even the regular rate is only around $150 or $160.

Congrats on your success. :)

Sorry to hear that the location isn't going to be optimal for your stay, but otherwise a nice rate for this well-reviewed property.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.

There is a free bus from Galleria (the mall adjacent to the hotel) down to the Kendall Square T-stop, and then an easy couple of stops to Harvard Square if you do that rather than take the Lechmere bus down to Harvard. PM me if you are going to Junior Parent. Taxi is not terribly expensive. This is a great hotel- you'll be glad you stayed there. Sign up for their loyalty program and email them with the number. That will give you free internet, even if you don't get points due to PL payment.
