In general The Commonwealth hotel is old and dirty. The toilet in my room got clogged at 8am, I called the front desk and told them, they said they’d take care of it. I get back to my room at 9pm after a long day of work meetings and the toilet was still clogged. Totally unacceptable. I’ll never stay here again.

The room was really nice. I was not impressed with the staff at the hotel. I attempted to check in at 5 o’clock for my room and I was told that my room would not be ready until much later. Check-in is after 3:30 so I’m unsure as to why the room was not ready. The only thing they could offer me to take off of my bill was breakfast and I was there for a tournament so there was no way I could actually eat the breakfast. The manager was really nice, but I just didn’t feel like there was any reason why our room shouldn’t be ready that late in the day.

This hotel has a beautiful location adjacent to the Capitol grounds which we very much enjoyed exploring. The restaurant on the main floor had a magnificent high ceiling and one of the staff was very helpful and friendly. Our room was spacious and comfortable. There were however a number of things that were disappointing. The first night our shower did not drain properly, so we were given a different room. In that room the toilet consistently had trouble flushing, the safe would not work/turn on, and eventually that shower also would not drain either. The hotel ran out of Keurig regular coffee (we were restocked with decaf options), and simultaneously we were told the drip coffee maker was not working in the restaurant. We had to buy coffee at a nearby convenience store. When we went to use the lobby bathrooms, we found they also had the unfortunate flushing problems. And whenever we entered the lobby we were not greeted by the staff at the front desk although we were frequently the only ones around.

The room was clean and nice. The hotel staff was great. However, I would not recommend you use valet parking. I had an issue when it came to retrieve my car. They had a hard time starting it, because the wheel was locked. Instead of turning it off completely to let me know, they left the car in accessory mode basically causing my battery to drain. I just went and started it myself after a few tries and it struggled because the battery was draining. The valet staff need better training and learn better car care.

The water in the shower and lavatory was only warm. Several lightbulbs in the bedroom and bathroom were burned out. The toilet runs until the top of the tank is removed and the mechanism jiggled. I told the person at the front desk, but they were not fixed. Overall, I enjoyed the hotel and would stay again, but these issues were annoying -- especially lack of a hot shower.
