There are 113 rooms and a restaurant in its atrium. At Kendall Square, closer to M.I.T., another of Cambridge's famed educational institutions, the Marriott has added to its facilities with the new 221-room Marriott Residence Inn at the corner of Broadway and Ames Streets. There's easy access to all the shops in Harvard Square, as well as in the hotel's adjacent Charles Square shopping mall. It's always been one of my favorite hotels, with friendly, high class service. They have a listing of accommodations for the budget-minded and can book places in the city or suburbs.
Breakfast is served either in the parlor or on the patio in nice weather.
There are 8 suites, each with queen size bed, gas log fireplace, and private bath. You can actually view the accommodations on their Web site . The building was recently renovated and turned into a time-share resort by the Marriott Corporation. And today, some 80 luxury suites are available until the time share is complexly sold out. You might also want to stay in a private club.
