"The CharlesMark Hotel is a simple 4 story boutique hotel right in Boston's Copley Sq. I arrived in the middle of winter to find its staff was all young, friendly, competent and diverse. There is an elevator. But my room was on second floor mezzanine up the stairs in the back and just off a sparse dining area with an attached 3 computer business ledge with bar seats. The room was a small 8x10ish fully wood furnished space. Everything was compact and useful and included an interesting surround sound system, fridge (ya! 2 free waters inside,) storage nooks but not a formal desk or huge flat screen. Attached was my own full, spotlessly, small bathroom. Not cramped, but YES w/cute toiletries, hair dryer, music, plastic cups and fluffy towels. A firm queen bed provided a solid nights sleep. I did wake up with a garbage truck outside my 2nd floor window. But it was urbanely ok-- if you know what I mean? Then a instantly hot shower and some comped coffee and a overly crunchy (ahh, stale?) croissant at the sweet bar in the lobby. But the full service l Landwer Cafe is next door, pretty much in the hotel. The front desk securly held my luggage past check-out and had a nice landing spot to park a car in front to register and loadin for a few minutes. They have discounts for 24hr parking at a close garage and a gym pass too. Look, I was photographing a job literally across Boylston at Boston Public Library so this fairly inexpensive tightly run tiny hotel was absolutly location perfect!"

"Loved it!"

"Loved the hotel & its closeness to other venues & businesses nearby. The staff (from management, front desk to maintenance & hostesses) all went out of their way to provide you with anything you requested. Highly recommend this hotel. "

"Stayed for a conference and loved the newly renovated hotel with the huge lobby "

"Excellent service. All the staff is very attentive starting the entrance of the hotel. The hotel vibe is more old style but everything is impeccable. Loved the complimentary coffee station every morning "
