A beautiful, quaint hotel in a lovely area. The food was fantastic! Our evening meal was delicious and served in a relaxed but beautiful dining room. All the staff were extremely helpful but Alicia and Amy made our stay extra special with their conversation and friendliness. Our room was very clean with all amenities but next time we would book a bigger room. We would definitely recommend The Charles Hotel. 5 mins walk into town, free parking and amazing staff!!!

I had requested a first floor room a few weeks before my stay because I have trouble climbing stairs but I was told only 2nd floor available and no elevator. The staff did help me bring my bags up and then back down at check out. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
