We love the Charles for proximity to the river/races. Rooms are nice and very comfortable. Prices are very steep but head of the Charles weekend is much pricier than usual. Thermostats in room were not responsive. Drafty windows. Chilly overall. Free breakfast?? Never got, never offered even when I cked.
