My husband and I have nothing but the highest of praise for our stay at Hotel Commonwealth. This was our first trip to Boston, and before we even arrived at the hotel, we had to call for directions. ...

   

We have stayed at the Hotel Commonwealth three times- the first time was a few years ago when we were touring Boston campuses with our son and most recently for my 50th birthday. We stayed there initially because the location was so convenient to everything (Newbury Street, Kenmore Station, Fenway Park, etc.) but have returned because of the exemplary service, exquisite rooms and decor and wonderful restaurants. The hotel never fails to put a smile on our faces. How can you be unhappy when your room overlooks Fenway?!

We have just returned from 10 days in Boston staying at the Hotel Commonwealth - a hotel chosen primarily on the popularity index of Trip Advisor. Without any doubt, the hotel lived up to its reputation and we would have no hesitation of staying here again and recommending it to others. The staff were a delight - friendly and very customer service orientated and not hovering and hankering after tips as we have found elsewhere. Our room (Commonwealth variety) was spacious and exceptionally clean. While we didn't use room service, there is a nightly turndown when artisan water and cookies are delivered which is a nice touch. The food is excellent 9Eastern Standard Restaurant) and again the service we experienced was superb. Raw bar, steaks and other specialities are to be recommended. Exiting the hotel, Fenway Park is right there, and Newbury Street is only a five minute walk away and provides numerous shops and restaurants. The walk into Boston to the Common for instance is twenty minutes duration making a pleasant stroll.
