Cape Cod waterfront hotel which overlooks harbor. Walk to ferry boats.


The Charlesmark Hotel, in Boston, is a 2-and-one-half star inexpensive hotel. Value-conscious travelers felt the hotel was "excellent for the price". Sleep connoisseurs described the bed as "great". What travelers said they loved: "the area", "the staff", and "the room". The hotel is recommended by Fodors (it's one of their hotel "Picks") and seasoned travelers, who rate it 5 stars. The hotel is near award winning restaurants, including L'Espalier , Clio , and Hamersley's Bistro . Also nearby: Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park , Karma , and New England School Of Law . Other local places to consider are Lenox Hotel and Clarion Collection Bulfinch Hotel.

Originally built in the late 1800s as a private residence, this smallish hotel offers simple rooms in a can't-be-beat location. Guests are just steps from Newbury Street, the Prudential and Copley Place...
