    Has anyone ever stayed at the Charlesmark? Is there a bar/restaurant on site? Please give me some info on the area, THANKS!

    I've never stayed there but we used to recommend it to clients when I worked in the area. The Globe (pretty good bar) is no more than two or three doors away. Plus you are right on Boylston Street and right in Copley Square. At least 10-15 bars in a 4 or 5 block radius...many of them between you and Fenway.
    Thanks for the visual Jimmy V! Sounds like a happening area....

    IMHO, the best coffee shop in the city is either Thinking Cup (Back Bay, on Newbury Street) or Render (South End, on Columbus Ave). Hot coffee, espresso (and espresso drinks), and cold brew are all killer. Thinking Cup uses Stumptown beans, not sure what Render is using. Enjoy!

    Bostonians don't like strong coffee. There are coffee shops around, but it's not common like seattle or NYC. But on the bright side you can't go 3 feet without seeing a dunks.

    OMG, I remember this issue from 2006! I asked the same question in 2006 and most people recommended Dunkin Donuts. Luckily, I found a cafe within the Boston Society of Architects building, and a cafe during a long walk. Time for me to put my adventure goggles on!

    Stayed there 10 years ago for the marathon. It's an awesome property. I have been told, by someone who stays there every year for the marathon, that it has only improved.

    But seriously pricey as seemingly most Boston hotels of quality are.

    Hey Bostonians. Question for you. Staying at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge for the Fenway shows. Is this walk to and from doable and safe at night? I imagine the path up Commonwealth Avenue along the university is best. Need advice as I will be with the Mrs.

    Worst case, hopefully we can cab it. Thanks!imagephoto Hyatt to Fenway_zpsiwr8o4t2.jpg" />

    I'm staying there too if you need a bodyguard for the walk.

    I just booked the Commonwealth for 2 nights now since I won the HOB tickets - on Expedia it was $900 incl tax and fees.

    Walk is fine. Yes, worst case grab a pint after the show and then take taxi/uber.

    If you do a little research, compare the amenities listed on ED with what hotel lists and go to http://biddingfortravel.yuku.com/topic/23312/BOSTON-HOTELS-LIST#.V4eOf7grLNM you will have a pretty good idea what you're getting.

    Thanks. I looked at the list and didn't mind any of the hotels I would have got. Ended up with Westin Copley House. Looks nice

    As long as you are OK with the walk that area is pretty safe. Be aware of your surroundings of course but there will be plenty of people around and you should be fine.

    Thanks for the info! I don't mind walking. What is it, about a 25 minute walk you guess?
