What we liked best
The stylish decor and the unbeatable location.
What we liked least
The absence of a full-service restaurant and, therefore, room service.
What surprised us
The ease and efficiency with which the hotel works with Dining In to bring in restaurant deliveries, including arranging to have dinner billed to the room.
You know you're in the Charlesmark when . . .
You have a floor-to-ceiling view from the lounge of Boylston Street, including the Boston Public Library and the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
Rates: Currently $119-$159, but rates change seasonally and for special events.
