Stayed for a couple of nights. The "historical" building (circa 1843) is nicely renovated. So it may be an attractive place for Martha Stewart fans, and the other guests indeed seemed to belong to this crowd. The room I got was pretty small (in America standards) and somewhat claustrophobic. I asked to move but my request was rejected although I... More

The Mary Prentiss Inn is on a short side street about 15 minutes walk to Harvard Sq. and 10 to Porter Square. Our room was very nice, overlooked the quiet side street and well-appointed. Parking was available. The breakfast was lovely and the staff very helpful. More

We only stayed one night but I could have moved right in. We were in Cambridge for a late evening event and decided to stay over at this lovely Inn. They provide free parking - in a garage and the breakfast is to die for. We were served a full breakfast in a lovely sun drenched breakfast room nearly as... More

Situated in a side street of Massachusetts Av in Cambridge some 1 mile away fro Harvard Sq, it is an ok place with reasonably friendly staff. However in 5 days there were at least 5 different girls working at the reception (and reading a lot; so wait until they are ready) who do not know your name even after 4... More

MP Inn was lovely. Reserving through an online discount B&B website for the price we paid (or what we were willing to pay) got Room 17 on the third floor. It had a small fridge, sink, desk, small closet, and a private bath with a removable shower head due to the slope of the ceiling. My husband and I found... More

This review is more a reflection of bad communication at Priceline with the Mary Prentiss Inn. We had booked a BIG room that accommodated 3 -- with a cot -- and paid a premium price through priceline (we paid more than any price they normally charge!). When we got to the Inn the only room was the smallest room (much... More

I loved staying at the Mary Prentiss Inn, a lovely bed and breakfast in Cambridge, MA. Delicious hot and cold breakfast, ample coffee and to go cups for those of us on the run were wonderful. Afternoon goodies beckoned, even though i had just had a late lunch with my sis, who lives in Cambridge. I'm actually headed back up... More

My wife and daughter stayed here when my daughter was visiting colleges in the spring and my wife and I are staying here now (August) to help her move into her dorm room. My wife loved it so much the first time that she wanted to return this time. This is a set of three lovely buildings (I think they... More

I had never stayed in a B&B before and loved this experience. The Inn is quaint, authentic, nicely decorated. The breakfast was very nice and every afternoon they serve biscuits and hot drinks in front of the fire. The dining room was a little crowded at one breakfast, but if it hadn't been raining outside we could've sat in the... More
