holiday at commonwealth hotel
As a European traveler I found this hotel as an excellent choice to spend the time you have in Boston. It is in an excellent, quiet yet lively location. It is fairly close to the city center and for those who hate walking can get there by train or bus which can be taken from Kenmore station which is right in front of the hotel. The personnel is extremely helpful and I really enjoyed my stay there. I would recommend it for both pleasure and business occasions.

Newlywed Andrea
The Perfect Wedding Night in Boston
I had gotten married at 10 am in Providence and my new husband and I were lucky enough to score tickets to the Red Sox/Yankees game at Fenway Park, so the Hotel Commonwealth was a great choice. Literally, just a couple blocks from Fenway. Easily checked in and my husband mentioned how excited we were to be here as it was our wedding night! The front desk staff were personable and attentive. Went to the game, came back and, to our surprise, there were truffles and champagne along with a congratulatory note for us, thanking us for choosing to stay with them for our wedding night. How thoughtful! We ordered room service (which was by far some of the best room service food I've ever had). The person who took the order noted that my husband had blown his voice yelling at the game (Go Sox!) and sent up a Keurig with tea pods to soothe his throat. Comfy, clean bed and room. Loved the Fresh toiletries. I will never stay anywhere else in Boston. Cannot thank them enough for helping us have an unforgettably amazing wedding night. Kudos!

Great hotel
Really enjoyed staying at this hotel. Room was top notch, very clean, extremely helpful staff. Hotel is located a little outside of the downtown area, but there's a subway station just outside the hotel entrance (Kenmore Station on the green line) from which you can get anywhere very easily. Restaurant in the hotel (Eastern Standard) is a bit pricey, but excellent for both dinner and breakfast.

Short walk from hotel
If you take the subway (the "T") to the section of the city called the "North End" there are many excellent Italian Restaurants within a short walk of the T station. We dined at Lucia's on Hanover Street and it was fabulous. Dinner for two including wine and dessert, tax and tip ran us $98. Not cheap, I know, but it was first rate and the food and service were both outstanding.

the hotel is very convenient to the T, has two connected wonderful restaurants with bars, relatively close to back bay and an easy T ride everywhere else including north end, where we went one night. staff was friendly helpful and attentive. we stayed in a basic room which was very nice and clean. we stayed to visit child at BC, it can be a bit of long T ride to BC!

Great location
Staff members are great, always looking for ways to make your vacations more pleasant. The hotel has a great location, as it is near to train stations, and two blocks away from Fenway Park. In addition, the restaurants located at each side of the hotel have great menus and the option for late dinning

Wonderful hotel. Very clean, very comfortable room. Very helpful and pleasant staff., From hailing a cab to running to our car for a forgotten umbrella, the staff was exceptional. Have stayed in many hotels but this will be the one we go back too!
