Charlesmark Hotel
Small boutique hotel, which translates into a converted studio apt, sans kitchen. Lobby is a desk and elevator door. It’s basic. But, well kept, except carpeting starting to wear. Bed and pillows comfy. Good linens and towels. My window was 4th story of 6, right on top of the Boston Marathon finish ...
