Great customer service - even the lady that was on overnight was very pleasant! Quick to help and provide us with what we needed. Close to Fanway Music Hall, great dining options, and lots to see and do around them. Small botique but comfy, cute, and would stay again.

Disliked: Staff & service

Would have liked a concession on late cancel.

I paid the extra fee for a refundable room. Due to a death in the family earlier in the week, we were unable to make the stay. It is my fault for not calling the hotel on time, but I did call them the day of the reservation to try to work something out and they would not make any concession whatsoever. I offered to send a copy of the death certificate, but they wouldn't budge. I wrote a separate email to management explaining the situation, but they never even responded.

Boston Trip 2025

We stayed for 3 days at the Charlesmark in Boston. It was a perfectly fine hotel. Nothing fancy. It is in a good location for walking to the North End (25 min) or Fenway (20-25min). Our room was pretty dark but clean. The closet was not really accessible without removing the ironing board, iron, etc. The staff was friendly. The morning coffee and pastry that were offered as breakfast did not work out well for us as the coffee was empty on two of our 3 days there. All good, there is a restaurant attached to the hotel where we were able to get coffee and breakfast for a fee. We did not spend a lot of time in the hotel as we were touristing, but it served its purpose for what we needed. For future trips, I might try something closer to the North End but Charlesmark worked for us for this trip.

This was a great place to stay, very central to most attractions and, being a smaller hotel, it felt friendly and welcoming.

Lovely little hotel, right across from the Boston Public Library. The only noise I heard was from the cafe above at closing (I was in a room below it.) very clean, very friendly staff, close to everything, and honestly the coffee they served was the best I’ve ever had.
