Twenty minute weekend car ride from Boston Logan, a very comfortable modern room. Walkable to many of the varying cuisine walkable restaurants around Harvard Square. Doorman, friendly and numerous check-in staff. High threadcount sheets and very comfortable mattress in a quiet room. Pricey, but worth it for a splurge.

My first time at the Charles was great! The hotel is in the perfect proximity to restaurants and stores in Harvard Square. The staff was exceedingly excellent and professional. My room was clean, comfortable, and inviting. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Cambridge.

Definitely not a four star experience or service. Rather bland and run off the mill. Wouldn’t consider visiting this hotel again.
