Its good that you can find something for everybody. You always think on hotels in terms of stars but these kind of descriptions that are not from marketing help a lot to figure out where you want to stay. I liked the post very much.
Been to the Charlie and it is probably one of the most relaxing places around. You will forget the fact that you are in such a bustling part of town and be able to enjoy your stay.
That sounds very nice, sometimes you find the most relaxing hotels in the most stressed out parts of town, and The Charlie has such a cool historic value I really want to stay there. I can just imagine Charlie Chaplin walking around there, so cool!
