    Great hotel at great location, clean, safe, good pricing, walkable to all types of new shops and restaurants, friendly folks, can't complain!

    Hip and modern, with great service and a fun location. Our room was spacious and beautifully furnished, with comfortable beds. Bathroom was immaculate, and I appreciated that the toilet had its own door. Wi-fi was fast and easy to connect to. Front desk service was very friendly and cheerful (not necessarily what one would expect from a hip hotel). There's a nice fitness room with plenty of cardio equipment (and where you can grab bottles of water). There's also a modest "pantry" on the 2nd floor near the conference/banquet rooms (look for the section that says "Hotel Guests Only"), with a Nespresso machine and some candy. Assembly Row is a great place for shopping, dining, and just plain hanging out. There's a T stop very close to the hotel, but it's the Orange Line, so if you want to get to Harvard or MIT via the T, it'll take around 45 minutes, since you have to take the Orange Line inbound, then switch to the Red Line at Downtown Crossing. We ended up Ubering it all the time, which took more like 15-20 minutes. Overall, this was a really enjoyable stay at a much more affordable rate than any hotel near Harvard Square. I'd definitely stay here again!

    First impression when entering, was super positive and architecturally stunning, it's color scheme was very soothing. The curved staircase going to the second floor was a huge focal point and the lobby accented with tasteful touches. Attending a special event on the second floor for NORTHEAST INVESTMENTS GROUP gave me ideas for future visits here. The private function room had floor to ceiling glass overlooking the well designed neighborhood of City Lights plus our room had an out door Open Bar on a balcony. The dinning tables were perfectly organized and the surrounding walls with hot Chafing Dishes that were filled each with culinary treats all lined up ending with a dessert table and coffee and hot chocolate bar, The carving station was amazing and the staff could not have been any more attentive. The whole Event here was made very special by this location. Walking around finding a wall that had several vases that had one white long stemmed rose in each one that was an eye catcher! The whole nights experience here was elevated by its location and it's opulence, The perfect spot for an event like this, Glad NORTHEAST INVESTMENT GROUP decided to treat their Investors to an evening of ENTERTAINMENT & EDUCATION! It was a memorable night! Thank you all Involved!

    Stayed here for one night during February vacation because it was a relatively new hotel. Our first impression was a good one, but unfortunately it did not last because we had to sleep with no sheets/blankets or pillows- hence the 2.5 star rating that I rounded UP! The moment we stepped in the lobby, you're met with some really interesting architecture, details and designs! The theme of the hotel really carries from the lobby, to the hallways, to the pool, and beyond!I have never seen such a streamlined theme throughout a hotel- but this place definitely pulled it off! You have the beautiful staircase as soon as you walk in, valet and hotel guest check in area to your right. And a bunch of different sitting areas throughout the large and expansive lobby! There is also a bar in the lobby which was pretty inviting as well- however we were traveling with children so we skipped the bar this trip! I I REALLY liked this hotel & The best part about this hotel was their "pantry". The pantry is open to hotel guests 24/7 and every guest has access to the free snacks/coffee/drinks. However when we got there the only thing they really had was apples, oranges, & some small candy's (gross Mary janes) and coffee! But it's a great idea & I think other hotels should offer it! They should definitely stock it with more snacks/juices/etc! Our room was extremely small! For the price we thought it would be a bit larger- but we did get two bathrooms!! One was a half bath and the other was really large with two sinks and an AMAZING instagram worthy bath tub. The kitchenette was really nice and convenient as well. I loved the aesthetic of our room too!! Even the hallways were unique! The gym and pool were amazing & my son really enjoyed swimming. The cabanas were amazing & all hotels should have them- although when we arrived at the pool- some guy was sleeping in one- the entire time which was odd- not sure if he was even a hotel guest- he didn't look like he belonged. So it sounds like it should be at least 4 stars and it would have been if the customer service/hospitality was existent! My friend and her daughter slept in the king sized bed and my son and I slept on the pull out bed- which was not only extremely Uncomfortable but I called 3 times for sheets/blankets/pillows for our "bed" and THEY NEVER CAME!!!! So needless to say we had a very sleepless and uncomfortable night! My friend had given us one of her pillows and there was a random throw that we used as a blanket! This was completely unacceptable & I still cannot believe that I slept the entire night sharing a pillow with a 7 year old because none of the 3 calls I made were important enough?!?! I rarely slept that night- and around 3:30 am debated on calling again, but at that point- I just gave up! Not sure if I would return unfortunately!!!

    Good but not great. Ok rooms, weird trade offs between design and functionality and all around looks pretentious but not worth the attention. I was there for a week- long conference and had a suite. Nothing really special in the room, which was 'trying hard' but not really succeeding. One glorious highlight: the chef in the in-house restaurant is amaaaaaazzzziiiiinnnnggggg.... Go for it!

    Beautiful hotel but missed a lot of basic guest care and expectations. Upon checkin staff seemed too busy to make a personal greeting or look into accommodations. I didn't understand the breakfast wasn't included as check in was brief and not very informative. After being chased down, I had to pay $25 for a pancake that was stuck to the pan and way to chewy, a decent slice of bacon, and a spoon of eggs. The "pantry" beside the room was NOT ready for use. The night of check in I checked it out for a hot tea and figured supplies ran low. The next morning I wanted a coffee and the pantry was even less clean, less stocked and not it was all made out to be. I had to clean it myself and reuse it. Last, the toilet clogged up very easily. I had called guest service from the room only to be told to hold for minutes then a quick apology and shove off to maintenance . Overall, this place looks like it's going to be epic. But the staff could use some customer service upgrades. Very loud lobby as people all collect at the bar so if you're meeting anyone, you might need to bring them up to your room or common areas.

    Looking for a clean hotel? The Row Hotel is the place to book! Honestly, in the mist of COVID this was my first time staying in a hotel and I have to say I felt pretty safe. The room was clean. Staff wore masks. Hotel staff was super friendly. Always greeting and smiling when they see you. The hotel is located near the freeway, walking distance to shopping centers (Trader Joe, CVS, etc.), Caffe Nero, and Lego Land. Free parking in the lot across the street. There is a fridge in the room with two free water bottles. Free wifi. Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body wash is provided. Recycling bin was also provided in the room. Overall, I liked the layout of my room and the hotel decor was on point. Currently you can purchase coffee and breakfast items on certain mornings (Thursday-unday) and the bar is open Friday-Sunday night. Free wifi. Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body wash is provided. Recycling bin was also provided in the room. Overall, I liked the layout of my room and the hotel decor was on point. Currently you can purchase coffee and breakfast items on certain mornings (Thursday-Sunday) and the bar is open Friday-Sunday night. If I was back in Boston, I would definitely rebook with them. Definitely a good hotel to stay with!

    Great outdoor space with nightly dancing and hey small dog park next to pickle ball courts.

The fall colors were unreal during my stay so wandering around the neighborhood was such a vibe. Lobby: Warm, elegant and classic New England. I loved the academic library feel with books lining the walls. Check in was a breeze and the staff were genuinely thoughtful. They walked us through all the FHR benefits and even handed us a welcome gift bag with treats. Such a nice touch. Room: A little smaller than expected, but very clean and charming with that collegiate Cambridge aesthetic. The view overlooking Harvard square was beautiful on a cloudy fall day. And the bed? One of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. Slept like a rock both nights. Overall this was very much a 5 star stay. Beautiful property, amazing location, and top tier service. I'd absolutely stay here again next time I'm in the Cambridge area.

I'm just happy to have gotten to stay here. C booked it for our first night in Boston. I had no idea what to expect, or where in the world we were staying, but was pleasantly surprised by the digs when we got there. We do some unique traveling. Mainly in the way that we actually take trips. We leave town with only the first night stay booked and wing it from there. We do this for spontaneity, to always keep things fresh and new, and to avoid losing money in some cases because of flight delays or changed plans. This last trip was a nine day haul around the Northeast Coast. This one was great and I have lots to share, so buckle up! ;) Night one: Excellent check in. Easy valet experience as you can just leave your vehicle on the curb and they come get it later at some point. Martha Stewart's flunky designed the place, but don't hold that against them. It's quite comfy and cozy. I loved the room accommodations. The glass box overlooking the busy Cambridge City street is really cool. The windows even open so that you can get some fresh air in the room or even purge some "compromised" room air out if needed. I wanted to sleep with the window open but the city was too loud for me to endure while sleeping. Shower is nice but all of the bars are deceiving. I thought that we may have a multiple shower head experience, it was only a dual head junt.... All of the bars are just to let the things slide around. It's nice though. It's a bit quirky with only one ice machine in the basement and none on each floor. But down in the basement is a plethora of oddities and things to look at. There is a great conference room that you can rent and shit yourself in if you want. They have a good coffee maker down there too. No free breakfast. That's ok though. Come have a stay. You won't be left disappointed I believe. Staff were super courteous to us. We left something in the car after we valet, and they went and retrieved it for us with no gripes at all. Came and stay a while.... You will be pleased. '25 - 111/111

From the moment we entered there were issues with check in. They could not find our reservations and we had to call and double check to find it. They finally found it and we were able to go into our room. The sink and shower had this blue gel on it that was getting mixed with the water. I did not trust it and did not wash up while we were there. I told the staff about the situation and they said they would fix it but no one came up to check on it. The beds were not as comfortable. Our room was right next to the cleaning closet so the staff was constantly opening and closing the doors while talking to each other early in the morning. This was not a good way to start your morning when you have a busy day planned. They give you a credit that you can use for their breakfast brunch or the Japanese restaurant downstairs. At first, I thought I love Japanese food. We will definitely go there. We came there Friday afternoon and the place was empty. The staff was walking around and acted like they didn't care who was coming in and out. They finally noticed us and gave us a seat. We ordered some drinks which were horrible. They were so sour and badly mixed. It tasted like the bartender poured these out of a can. Then we ordered food. We ordered the Red Sox sushi roll and the fried rice. Both were disgusting. The food was trash. I have had better sushi everywhere else. What kind of Japanese restaurant is this? Of course when you pay the bill the credit only goes to the food portion. Tax and tip are paid separately. If Marriott didn't give any food credit this place would have no one stopping by. When we checked out we voiced our problems to the staff. They were kind enough to refund us for the food credit due to the horrible food and the problems with the shower water. It was a nice thing but I would have appreciated it if they fixed it previously instead. This place was okay because it was cheap but I would rather stay at any other hotel instead.

The shampoo, conditioner and lotions were (I think) Gilchrest and Soames -- if I have the wrong brand, know they were high quality and smelled wonderful. I did not eat at the restaurant while I was there, but colleagues of mine did and had positive things to say. I did avail myself of Door Dash a few times; very smooth ordering, as the hotel has a system set up for drop off and pick up. Was there this past winter during a particularly cold time and puh-lenty of snow; the front of the hotel was cleared and safe. A few suggestions: 1. If you can get a corner room, I HIGHLY recommend it for the light and openness. 2. The elevator is quite small -- I did fine, even with quite a large suitcase; just be aware for how many bags you bring or if you are a bit claustrophobic. 3. When I was there this past February, some construction was being done on the hotel. I was on the 5th floor and I heard nothing; the lobby, however, could be pretty noisy during the day. Again, not a reason not to stay -- and the hotel communicated well about the hours of the work. But if you plan to meet people there (for work or fun), you may wish to call in advance about the status of the construction.
