8. Good points - room was compact, bed was excellent, shower excellent, rate very very good, room always cleaned to a great standardPoor points - staff NEVER said hello but when spoken to were not rude, breakfast a complete disaster (turn right out of hotel and head for Pourhouse, best breakfasts in Boston), Charlesmark have 100 out of date videos available to watch in room, TV had 300 channels of which 90% were rubbish (not hotels fault), no tea or coffee facilities in roomIf you plan to be exploring Boston (we saw Kaiserchiefs at the Avalon, Baseball at Fenway, Basketball at the fantastic indoor arene called TNB?, went on Duck tour, walked Freedom trail, went to the navy yard, shopped, used the Amtrak for a day trip to New York, ate in lots of restaurents etc) then this is the hotel for you.
