Charlesmark Hotel

Location, location, location!

10-minute walk from Public Gardens, 25 from South Station. Copley subway station on the corner 1/2-block away. Dunkin Donuts in next block outbound, and next block inbound has Citizens Bank, CVS, Burger King. Continental breakfast is certainly nothing to write home about, but the Copley Fairmount across the square provides all the alternative anyone could want (but at a price). Sure, the rooms are small, but if it's just one or two of you, this can't be beat if you can get a deal on the price. It will be my go-to choice in the future.

Lovely Boutique Hotel

Walking distance to the Back Bay Station where I came in. The room was small and cozy - I liked the placement of the stereo speakers - built into the walls and also in the bathroom ceiling. I did not have a view (brick wall and sky) but appreciated that it was in a row of adjacent buildings. You may luck out and get front or back but I had a room on the side. But I was not there to stay in my hotel room, and the price was good, so I was OK without a view. The television (cable included) could also play through them as I got ready for my day. The T is nearby and the stop is smack-dab between the 2 places I wanted to visit - the Museum of Fine Art in one direction and the Museum of Science in the other. I was pleased and the Chinese Restaurant downstairs, though slightly overpriced, was good. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

Outstanding Location and Value

I will definitely be coming back to this hotel. The rooms were fantastic; very clean, modern, more spacious than I thought they would be considering the other reviews, and the window opened above the street so we got great views of the Public Library and downtown. Loved the surround sound and option to play digital music and our own DVD's. The location of the hotel is absolutely fantastic, and you can walk just a short distance to anywhere downtown. We made it to Cambridge in less than half an hour. If you prefer to take the subway, the stops are right across the street(inbound) and 50ft down the street (outbound). Free breakfast, internet, and premium cable an added plus for the value+location of the hotel!

Great Hotel and Location!

Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. If I ever go back to Boston I will most defiantly stay at the Charlesmark again.

Poor Room

I felt like it was a closet would describe in a few words. The lady at the reception was border rude and certainly not helpfull. It was my understanding I was booking a room with a queen or king bed and end up with a full bed as it is really all they could fit in this extremely small room!

Good value

A small place with a great location close enough to walk to Fenway Park -- no pools or gyms - but if just want a clean reasonably priced stay this is it

Great Hotel, needs better computer service!

The hotel is fun, small but cool and in a great location. I couldn't get on my computer--they need to get better wireless service.

Perfect All Around

Outstanding Hotel in a Great Location

The Best Three Stars Ever

For less money than I've ever spent for an overnight, the Charlesmark Hotel offered a beautifully-decorated, comfortable, posh environment in a prime Back Bay location. The staff was friendly and helpful, a full breakfast and internet were included, and the windows really opened! The bar downstairs was hopping but not at all invasive. Only downside was metered parking -- I racked up $50 in tickets during my 24-hour stay :-/ But that's not the hotel's fault...in my opinion, they did everything correctly (and valet parking is available, though I don't know the details).

Excellent location!

We had never been to Boston before and chose this hotel based on previous reviews. The location was awesome and in a very hip area of town. We appreciated the fact that we able to check in three hours early and everything was very clean and updated. The room was quite small, but it was alright for us. We liked having a nice, continental breakfast included in the price.
