Curtains please!
While I agree with other reviewers that the convenient location of this hotel and the friendly helpful staff are notable qualities of the Charlesmark, my experience trying to sleep in a room facing Boylston Street was less than restful. The room I occupied was designed with a contemporary visual appeal, however the choice of a black venetian blind for window-covering was inadequate to block out the glare of the streetlights. The addition of black-out curtains to the decor would have bumped my rating of my stay at this hotel from the "average" to the "very good" category.
