“GREAT Hotel !”

Hotel Commonwealth

Apr 28, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

My kids and recently stayed here for 3 nights as we were immersing ourselves in three Red Sox games over spring vacation. We arrived on a Tuesday and departed Friday. This is a wonderful hotel with a boutique feel that is right around the corner from Fenway Park. Our room looked out at the back of the park and the Green Monster. Although the Mass pike was between our room and the ballpark, the soundproofing made it virtually noise free and we never knew a highway was yards away. We had two queen beds and they were comfy! The hotel brought up a small refridgerator for us, on request, for free. The staff was helpful and friendly and there was wonderful turndown service each night with a large monogramed chocolate covered biscuit on the pillow. We hardly knew anyone else was in the hotel as the rooms are well insulated and sound proofed. The hotel also has a courtesy car and driver who drove us several times to various venues during our stay. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to stay near Fenway Park and enjoy accomodations that are pure joy.

“Good hotel - good service”

Hotel Commonwealth

1/2 found this review helpful

Very nice hotel, located just two blocks from Fenway Park and within walking distance of the Prudential Center and other good Boston locations.

Good guest rooms, comfortable bed, nice bathroom everything seemed new and very clean.

Carl and Samuel at the front desk on the weekend shift were excellent. Very personable and helpful.

I've stayed many places in Boston (Westin, Juries, etc.) and the small personal feeling of the Hotel Commonwealth is the best of the bunch.

“Fantastic hotel!”

Hotel Commonwealth

5 of 5 stars

3/3 found this review helpful

Stayed at the Commonwealth two years ago and enjoyed it, so booked again for a college visit trip with my 17 year old daughter. I can't say enough about how wonderful the hotel is! Upon our arrival, we were told we could use the complimentary hotel car to go to our dinner reservation. When we returned from dinner, we were asked if we wanted to check out a DVD (from a library of 100 titles), and when it arrived to our room, it came with a bag of popped popcorn! When I asked if I could pay for a rollaway bed for my daughter's friend who stayed one night, I was told it was complimentary! I could go on and on about how friendly and helpful everyone was. This, of course, would mean nothing if the hotel and room facilities weren't great, but they also were----large, quiet, beautifully decorated room and bathroom, comfortable beds, flat screen TV, large desk and two lounge chairs. We travel a lot and like to stay at luxury hotels, and I have to say that the Commonwealth exceeded our expectations in every way. This property is one of the very best.

I loved the Hotel Commonwealth! The staff at the desk were always very friendly and helpful. The driver was nice and available to take me to my meeting. The Great Bay was wonderful. I will never stay anywhere else when in Boston.
