Our renovated guest rooms include custom designed pieces, such as spacious cherry-wood desks, oversized clocks, Hi-Def LCD Plasma Televisions and hand-crafted quilts. Throughout the rooms are unique touches that celebrate The Charles' reputation as "Cambridge's most intellectual property," leading with the oversized black and white chalkboard drawing hanging in each room. Additionally, the rooms are furnished with a custom created professor's chair, and a hanging peg board that is reminiscent of a New England boarding school.Beginning in February 2007, guests will be able to take advantage of free local, national long distance, and 800 calls in their guest rooms.
