I love this place, Nice comfortable rooms, great for a business trip to Cambridge. No taxi required when this is your home base.. At least for Cambridge, Porter or Kendall Squares.. more

I stayed at the Mary Prentiss Inn in Cambridge MA in December 2008. They had a special going on as the cost was approx. $145 per night. The free parking alone saved $20 per day had I stayed elsewhere. (Note: the parking is under the building - a small car is recommended; my Honda Fit was easy to"fit.") Being centrally... more

A new manager with prior experience with larger hotels now handles the operation of this gem. We arrived about 10 pm, and were greated by a friendly staff member and homemade cookies in the foyer. There is limited on-site parking, which is a real plus. The decor has been freshened and is vintage Americana circa 1840's, with some antiques in... more

Stayed in October 2008 during the Head of the Charles weekend. As expected, the Mary Prentiss was full, and prices reflected the high demand. Unfortunately, the amenities and services were sub-par, even if compared at regular price. The amenities were out-dated, compared to other B&B of similar price range. The outdated heating/air-conditioning unit was attached to a tangle of electrical... more

The good: - The location in terms of being in the centre of Cambridge, near bars and restaurants and Harvard square - You do not need a car to visit Boston from here - The rooms are decorated to a high standard, even more so than the common areas which is rare - Breakfast was lovely - Bed comfortable -... more

Went to Boston for the first time, stayed at this Bed and Breakfast and LOVED it! The food was great, great staff, free internet available (only one computer though so we had to share with the teenagers). The only thing I didnt like was we were on the top floor, and our shower was on the slope of the roof... more

This was our second attempt to stay at this B&B, we should have learned our lesson the first time!!! Five years ago the employees were rude...and they still are! This place looks romantic but lacks luster in its personnel and honesty is not their fortey either! We were to stay in a room in the winter with no working heat... more

We visit Cambridge 4 or 5 times per year, and usually stay in one of the big name hotels. In surfing for a reasonable price, I came across the Mary Prentiss Inn B&B. Since it was literally half the price of the Marriott, we decided to give it a try. We're happy we did. For $114 we got a large,... more

I really liked this Inn for the price, the location, and the fact that we parked underground for free! That makes a big difference, especially when taking the car in around Boston would have been too hectic. We booked a loft bedroom that was absolutely lovely in decor and layout. The bathroom was divine, and everything very, very clean. The... more

The place looks nice enough, but beware of a rude concierge woman who doesn't care about your business. I'm having family come into town in late May and want to treat them to a 'thank you gift'- So this Inn was the closest/nicest lodging to my apartment. I called last night and was told that the place was booked, but... more
