The Charles Hotel
The Charles Hotel is located in the heart of Cambridge, near Harvard University, and offers a variety of amenities including a spa, multiple dining options, and pet-friendly accommodations.
The hotel itself isn't any nicer than a Hilton, for example, but the staff do provide an excellent customer service experience. That said, if there were a Hilton or the like nearby, I'd save the extra money and stay there. This hotel excels mostly in terms of sheer location.
Best location service and quality!
The pillows were perfect and the mattress. We loved our stay.
