The Charlesmark Hotel enjoys a fantastic location right across from the Boston Public Library and close to the Copley T station, making it easy to explore Boston. Many guests appreciate the walkable distance to landmarks and Newbury Street, while the Green Line T provides convenient access to the north end. A complimentary coffee and pastry breakfast is often considered a nice touch, though some have found it quite minimal. guests find the rooms comfortable, clean, and reasonably sized.

mixed feelings about this stay

convenient locationcramped roomminimal breakfast
the location was convenient, placing me close to many attractions.
The room felt cramped. it was a "standard room", but there was barely enough space to move around comfortably. also, the breakfast provided was quite minimal. It was just coffee and a small pastry, not really enough to start the day well.
