Comfortable stay and comfort food...

Liked: Perfect location for our activities on the Harvard Campus.Easy access to Henrietta's Table for meals during bad weather.
Disliked: The Saturday night room rate was extremely high -- we were willing to pay because of convenience and our familiarity with the Charles after many past stays.

Great place but with unsecured...

Liked: Great hotel, comfortable, with gym, several restaurants and sofa areas, next to Harvard Kennedy School. I was surprised however to note that their wifi network is unsecured (without password). Most company policies today don’t allow to be connected to unsecured networks (data risks), so I ended up using hotspot (not always stable). This is annoying for businesses travelers.
