- Charlesmark Hotel, 655 Boylston St. (tel. 617/247-1212). The Charlesmark's thoughtful features -- plush bedding, free local phone calls, friendly service, custom-designed everything -- more than make up for the modest size of the rooms. Bonus: Units at the front of the building overlook the Boston Marathon finish line.
- Doubletree Guest Suites, 400 Soldiers Field Rd., Brighton (tel. 800/222-TREE). Prices at busy times are at the high end of the moderate range, but this hotel is still a great deal -- every unit is a spacious two-room suite. The location, straddling Boston and Cambridge, is especially good if you're driving.
- Harborside Inn, 185 State St., downtown (tel. 888/723-7565). Rooms in this renovated 19th-century warehouse feel like little lofts, with hardwood floors and exposed-brick walls. A stone's throw from Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the New England Aquarium, it's also perfect if you have business in the nearby Financial District.
- MidTown Hotel, 220 Huntington Ave., Back Bay (tel. 800/343-1177). A unique combination of comfortable, no-frills rooms and a handy location make this hotel the most motel-like lodging in central Boston. And the cheapest guest parking in the Back Bay can save you as much as $25 per day.
- Newbury Guest House, 261 Newbury St., Back Bay (tel. 800/437-7668). This place would be a bargain even if it weren't ideally situated in the heart of Boston's best shopping. Room prices even include continental breakfast.
