This is a small hotel tucked into a busy area near several larger hotels. It was a convenient walk to the Hynes Convention center, where I was attending a conference. There were lots of food options for lunch or dinner in the area as well as a grocery store about 5 minutes walk away. The room was small but they had a lot of little additions, like a folding chair, to make the small space work better. They had a microwave downstairs for guests to use. The room was clean. A few negatives: 1) They still use down pillows, which is terrible for people like me who have allergies, 2) they advertise a free breakfast but it doesn't exist. You can go to the restaurant downstairs and apparently get free coffee and a bagel or something if you order there but that's it. It didn't help that there were few options for breakfast in the area, especially on the weekends (except for expensive brunch places). They need to change the listing on this site to shift expectations about breakfast. One final issue was that they didn't really have any trash cans on site. They need somewhere to toss out larger food items and boxes, especially because the room is so small. You don't want them stinking up the room or taking up space.

The hotel and room was neat and modern. However, a mouse crawled across the floor as I was watching tv. I asked for another room which the nice clerk promptly gave me. However, it was “occupied” by a young couple who were engaging in some rather spirited activity when I opened the door. Back down to the desk clerk who was horrified and confused because the room should have been available. The 3rd room was ok but I didn’t sleep well. Some things you just can’t unsee. The management was very apologetic . These things happen but I hope the hotel will reach out with a discount or better for a very unsettling night.

We stayed at the Charlesmark Hotel for our anniversary, and our experience was extremely disappointing. On our last night, we were suddenly awakened by a very loud noise of running water. When we checked the bathroom, we found that the toilet was leaking so badly that the entire bathroom floor was covered in water — and the water had even started leaking into the room itself. We immediately notified the staff. They came to look, but the hotel was fully booked and they were unable to move us to another room. We had no choice but to spend the night with a flooded bathroom, water leaking into the room, and constant noise. It was completely unacceptable, uncomfortable, and honestly unsafe. We requested a refund for the night, but the hotel refused, which was extremely disappointing considering the severity of the issue. This was supposed to be a special anniversary trip, but the experience was completely ruined.

Older property but in great shape. Great location at the Boston Marathon finish line. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Room was a little on the small side but perfect for one night for my wife and I.

This was our first stay at the Charlesmark. This is a no-frills hotel. Room was very small with no view. We were in the back of the hotel and it was very quiet. The bed was and pillows were very comfortable, small bathroom with nice fluffy towels. The staff was very kind and accommodating. Nice little breakfast place downstairs and a small bar. Great location! Right in the middle of everything. The price was reasonable as we found most Boston hotels to be incredibly expensive.

Both the room and restroom were clean. It’s a boutique hotel, the rooms are small but have all the amenities and all furniture is very strategically placed. I was a solo traveller and it was perfect for me. The front desk staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful. I had interaction with 3 different front desk staff and all 3 were amazing!

Website said fitness facilities and there are none. Shower door would not close (water spills out) and there is no common area outside the room to hang out. Not a terrible place overall but I would not rush back.
