The Cambridge, Massachusetts' Charles Hotel rewards guests who make smart transportation choices, including free bicycle parking for two-wheeled travelers and a free charging station for those who drive electric and hybrid vehicles.

The Charles Hotel rewards don't end there: parking rates are adjusted down for smaller vehicles and special parking spots in a posh parking area are reserved for little cars like Smart cars and Mini Coopers.

**Implications** - The Charles Hotel also has an area to fill your tires with air if you happen to be running low. If you didn't bring a bike, there is no need to fret because the hotel rents them out to their guests! The bicycles are Electra Amsterdam Classic bicycles and feature a basket on the front handle bars. They also come with a helmet, lock and a map.
