We had a wonderful stay at the Charles River Inn. The hotel was extremely clean, well-maintained, and felt very welcoming from the moment we arrived. Our room was surprisingly spacious, giving us plenty of room to relax and spread out comfortably. The location was another big plus—close to many attractions, restaurants, and everything we wanted to see while visiting the area. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and conveniently located place to stay, I would definitely recommend the Charles River Inn.

The older gentleman at the front desk was just lovely. The hotel was easy to find. Everything was clean. The hotel is older and worn around the edges, but what’s important is clean and allows for a good night sleep.

I traveled with my 7-year-old son. The area was safe, and had a great park with playground down the road.
McDonalds and iHOP are right next door!
We were able to drive downtown for aquarium and museum of science quickly and easily.
Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Just right for us!
Thank you!
