We had a family trip to Fenway so we picked this hotel because of location. What a perfect spot! Less than a 10 minute walk to Fenway, staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Valet parking to make life easy in the busy city. The hotel is beautiful and well kept. Rooms are clean and modern. The beds are a little hard, but it was only one night so that was ok. Overall I would absolutely recommend staying here for the convenience and proximity to Fenway.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Check in staff was very polite and friendly. We turned down the air before bed and it never cooled the room. Woke up to it being 77 degrees! We slept terrible, it was so hot. The room itself was nice, however the bathroom had hair on the floor when we first walked in. The towels were rough - not what I would expect in a hotel of this status. The QR code in the room, did not show breakfast options for me to call in the night before. I had to go down to the front desk and get a printed out paper menu. I called the evening prior to have breakfast delivered at 7am. I was told they can't deliver until 730 (menu says it starts at 7am). Then it never came until 745 and we were told their cappuccino machine was down. I had also asked about gluten in the granola and no one could give me an answer. This information should be listed in the kitchen for anyone taking an order to see. I instead asked for the granola on the side, so my spouse could eat it and ended up not getting any granola at all. Valet parking was $75 which I felt was very steep, when lots nearby were charging $25 - $50 for over night parking. For the price, I would not recommend this hotel. The location was prime, but other hotels in the area would have been cheaper and I would image we would have had better experience.

I felt the room was not as up to date as it should have been for the luxury reputation Hotel Commonwealth has. The towels were very low quality, the bathroom was like sand paper & the bed wasn't so good. We ordered breakfast to the room the night before. I had to call the next morning to see where it was. Showed up 15 mins before we needed to leave. Wasn't impressed at all. Wont be going back.
