Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - The Charles Hotel
Beverly, Bryn Mawr, PA. August, 2006
"My husband was in need of a wheelchair, after unexpectedly spraining his ankle. The staff immediately provided one, which ensured that he could participate in our activities for the weekend. We couldn't have had better service from everyone we met. We will be returning to this hotel. The service and attention from the hotel employees enhanced our stay in Cambridge. The room was spacious and we had a nice view of the city. The location of the hotel was perfect for our needs, as we wanted to stay in Harvard Square."
