Mary Prentiss Inn is a wonderful historic B&B in Cambridge near Porter Square conveniently located four blocks from the T subway. The rooms are well-appointed with charming period furniture, comfortable beds, and amenities. The breakfast and tea service are incredibly delicious. The inn is nestled within a lovely residential neighborhood within a short stroll to great restaurants. What I loved... More

What a treasure this B&B is! Walking distance to Lesley University and Harvard, it's the only place to stay when visiting Cambridge. I had room 7 which was on the 2nd floor. It had a King size bed, huge flat screen, coffee maker, microwave, and small refridgerator. There was a rollaway bed in the closet as well. The bathroom was... More

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in our tastefully furnished room. We were in the Cambridge area to visit a nephew and his family. He is doing his Masters at Harvard University. The Inn is walking distance to his home and it is also conveniently located near to Porter Square and Harvard Square. The breakfast was excellent and... More

We had a lovely stay at the Mary Prentiss. The rooms are individually furnished tastefully and with owner pride. The breakfast was excellent and the service was very respnsive. All in all a great stay and the price is very good value for the Cambridge area. This is a much better option than staying at an impersonal overpriced hotel.

My partner and I just stayed here for 3 days and we had the most incredible time!! We stayed in room 7 and loved it. The Inn is so incredibly beautiful and very historic in nature. We also chose this place because it provided free parking. Right when you walk into the Inn you can feel the Cambridge charm. It... More

Each room is very clean and decorated with charming bed accessories and lovely color schemes while keeping in the historical period of the inn. The top sheet is always separately tucked in so when you undo the... More

I stayed at Mary Prentiss last week. I found it on the internet and by chance it turned out to be an incredible place. I loved: 1) how close it is to Harvard and Porter Squares and public transportation 2) the atmosphere of the inn (reminded me of my childhood!) 3) the INCREDIBLE breakfasts! 4) how quiet and peaceful the...

I have stayed at the Mary Prentiss twice and enjoyed it thoroughly both times. This quiet, low-key, and absolutely charming house has several beautiful rooms, ranging in size and price. This time I was in a second floor room with a fireplace, a poster bed, and windows that I was able to open up and let in an early spring... More

A wonderful oasis. Tried it recently during a conference hosted by MIT. Easy access to subway/commuter rail network, meant the place proved convenient. The wonderful decor, great meal, architectural details carefully conserved in the restoration, and fine staff, made my stay exceptional.
