Walking into the Charlotte is like stepping back in time. Built in 1918 by an Italian immigrant of the same name, it's warm, comfortable, and a good choice for those who enjoy the ambience of a small historic hotel. Cheerily wallpapered and wainscoted, the hotel's rooms -- which are primarily upstairs -- are small, quaint, and nicely maintained. Several rooms adjoin each other and have connecting bathrooms (perfect for families) with claw-foot-tub/shower combos. There's an excellent restaurant, Café Charlotte, and the lobby has a TV and a guest computer with Internet access. (There's also a free Wi-Fi network on the premises.) The pancake buffet breakfast is great -- with strong coffee, cereals, fruit, juices, and piping-hot flapjacks.
