The Charlesmark Hotel is a quaint boutique spot nestled in the heart of Boston, right by the Boston Marathon finish line and the Public Library. I found the room to be clean and equipped, but quite small, which might not be ideal for everyone. The location is superb for exploring the city, with easy subway access and plenty of dining options nearby. However, the dining experience was a letdown due to limited breakfast choices and a few maintenance issues noted during my stay.

The hotel is an excellent choice for exploring Boston, with a convenient location near many attractions and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, adding to the welcoming vibe. However, the room we stayed in felt a bit cramped for two people, and the breakfast could offer a wider variety. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, and the value for money is definitely there for being in such a prime area.

While the hotel boasts a fantastic location in Back Bay, very close to attractions and conveniences, my stay had its ups and downs. The room was quite small and showed signs of age, which made it feel a bit cramped, but it was clean. The service was helpful, though check-in could be confusing. The breakfast options left much to be desired, and additional parking arrangements were a hassle. Overall, there are definitely pros to this place, but the high price wasn't quite justified by the experience.
