Forgot to say a big public thank you to Cambridge’s Hotel Marlowe. Not only did they allow me to check in straight off my red eye this morning with no hassle whatsoever (quite the contrary, the guy working the desk was very helpful), once I checked into the room I was surprised to discover that they provide free wireless for their customers. It’s a small thing, but an important thing.
The Royal Sonesta, my usual home while working in Cambridge, has rooms with better views – but I get those only rarely anyhow. The experience I’ve had @ the Marlowe so far might yet win me over, especially considering that the last time I tried to check in early at the Sonesta they wanted to apply an extra half day’s rate.
