Rooted in History, Designed with Care

Victorian Flourish

At The Charles, we’re committed to creating a welcoming space for all guests. We offer two ground-floor rooms with partial accessibility features to better accommodate individuals with mobility needs. For step-free entry, an accessibility ramp is available on the south side of the building near the parking area.

 

As a historic property built over a century ago, The Charles is limited in its ability to meet full ADA compliance. While we’ve made thoughtful adjustments to increase comfort and access, certain structural elements remain unchanged in order to preserve the integrity of the building.

​

Inclusivity is at the heart of who we are—and while we acknowledge these limitations, we are always happy to answer questions and help guests determine if our accommodations are a good fit for their needs.
