Frommer's Review
Combining the familiar suburban brand and a prime urban location, the Residence Inn opened in 2003. It's the only chain hotel in Charlestown, and easy access to water transportation (water taxis serve the hotel dock) makes it competitive with more expensive downtown properties. Adjacent to the Charlestown Navy Yard, the hotel consists of studio and one- and two-bedroom suites with full kitchens; many have harbor views. Even the smallest units, the studio suites, are generous in size. The lobby pool and fitness room adjoin the hotel dock and offer water views. Most rooms in the eight-story building afford impressive views of the harbor or the Charles River and the Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge. Patrons tend to be business travelers on weeknights (many on extended stays) and families on weekends, especially in the summer. Prices listed here are for 1 to 4 nights; longer stays mean ever-greater discounts.
Facilities:Cafe (New England) w/seasonal outdoor seating; indoor lap pool; exercise room; access to nearby YMCA w/pool ($8); Jacuzzi; shuttle to North Station; business center; room service until 9:30pm; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility
