What is Certificate of Excellence?

The staff, location and room exceeded our expectations. Our friend said Copley Place and Back Bay were the place to stay and The Commonwealth and Kenmore Square were very satisfying. Easy access to the Green Line, walking to Newbury Street. Also liked the restaurants adjacent...More

I was in Boston to get a second opinion for a medical condition and traveling with a friend. We liked the location of the hotel and having restaurants right there as my mobility was impaired after surgery.
The staff was genuinely courteous and helpful. I...More
I chose a "Fenway view" room imagining it would be quiet (with no baseball game) BUT was surprised to find it had an even better view of the very noisy Mass Pike highway traffic. Fortunately, I carry ear plugs with me BUT I wished air...More
This is a wonderful hotel. Our room was beautiful and had a great view. It is in a great location as well. Also the staff was very friendly and helpful. If and when we go to Boston again I am defiantly staying there. I defiantly...More

The Curse of the Bambino may have ended years ago, but loyal Red Sox fans will continue to infiltrate this home to historic Fenway Park, where you can find victory banners, people yelling in stereotypical Boston accents, and lots of sports bars. Located within Kenmore Square, the old gas station Citgo sign is another Boston skyline classic seen throughout the city. In addition to a hectic and diehard sports

mentality, this neighborhood is also home to some of Boston’s many universities. Move from Boston University territory to that of Northeastern, and spend time at the famous Museum of Fine Arts. For more culture, check out the smaller but equally beautiful Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Continue off the beaten path and check out the green space in the Back Bay Fens, a pretty community garden. This diverse neighborhood has a mix of universities, sports, culture, and more residential green space.

I've stayed in both rooms. I recently stayed in the Fenway room for 2 nights with my husband and 16 year old daughter. There wasn't a game (not baseball season quite yet), and therefore it was very quiet. It overlooks the Mass Pike and there's a view of Fenway Park. I've previously stayed in a Kenmore room and I had no complaints but it does overlook Comm Ave where there is traffic at times and you can occasion here some noise (but nothing that would keep you awake). If I had to choose one or the other, I'd pick the Fenway room again, although you really can't go wrong with both.

Thank you for your enquiry and for selecting the Hotel Commonwealth for your upcoming visit to Boston. We offer valet parking for $53 per night for our overnight guests. We look forward to hosting you!
The valet staff were about the most friendly of all. you can drop the car directly at the entrance and call down for retrieval - it is expensive to park, but of course it is Boston. Given that Fenway Park is right behind... More
The valet staff were about the most friendly of all. you can drop the car directly at the entrance and call down for retrieval - it is expensive to park, but of course it is Boston. Given that Fenway Park is right behind the hotel, I would suspect there are a number of proximate garages, but am not sure of their location and/or operating hours. Save travels!
