My husband and I have nothing but the highest of praise for our stay at Hotel Commonwealth. This was our first trip to Boston, and before we even arrived at the hotel, we had to call for directions. We were courteously given the correct directions from the concierge. That evening, the doorman suggested a walking tour that brought us down... more

I would like to start by saying this was the worst hotel experience I have ever endured, let alone paid for. I booked a room with two beds and got a room with a king and a rollaway bed. There was a horrible smell in the room like someone had urinated on the carpet. To make matters worse, sound-proofing between... more

It was our first trip with are 8 month old son, and the Commonwealth went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. They supplied a crib and mini bar fridge for food and even asked whether we had a boy or girl to colour co-ordinate the sheets and blankets. They gave us a mini pack of supplies from Johnson... more

We had tickets to a game and decided to stay over, go for dinner in the North end, and walk around Boston. We chose the Hotel Commonwealth in order to leave our bags and pick them up after the game. The hotel was wonderful! Clean, roomy, comfortable, high speed internet, great beds. Fast food type places nearby. We would stay... more

While on a hybrid business / college evaluation trip I spent one night here, and found everything to be fantastic. The location is ideal, at the heart of things around Kenmore Square. The staff was friendly without being overbearing, the gym was above expectations. I did not eat at the hotel and the Red Sox were not in town so... more

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Commonwealth as part of a "Red Sox DestiNation" package. The proximity to Fenway and the Kenmore Square T stop were far beyond convenient. The furnishings in the room and throughout the hotel are tastefully luxurious, the staff helpful and friendly, and the amenities (two TVs, free high-speed internet, iPod docking station) first-class.... more

The staff is very friendly and helpful. I travel a lot but i dont sleep often in a wonderful hotel like this. The... more

We stayed at this hotel based on the Trip Advisor reviews, and once again Trip Advisor came through! Everyone that worked in the Hotel went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. At night they give you cookies as part of the turn down service and they called up to see if our kids would like milk with... more
