This hotel is a Gem in the heart of Boston and certainly will be our Boston Hotel from now on. The attention and customer service are unmatched. Every detail is taken care of. Clean, spacious rooms and service with a smile. Not to mention it is conveniently located right next to a T stop (Kenmore).

We choose this hotel because of it's location close to Fenway Park. It is also across the street from the bus station and had a subway stop under the building making transportation around Boston very easy. The facility is very nice and there are many restaurants within walking distance.

Great short stay, awesome staff. Convenient to where we wanted to be. I’m sure all parking is expensive but $75 for overnight was a bit high considering what the room already cost. Otherwise loved it.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and comfortable. The amenities it the room (for the price) were lacking, I would say that are stay was good - based upon when I checked in the gentleman @ the desk was distracted and I did not get the same welcoming service as I have previously. The Commonwealth is in a great location, but I believe this will be our last stay there.

The perfect hotel for anyone with tickets to Fenway! It's right next to the park but quiet, with a terrific, easygoing rooftop bar. Rooms are spacious and welcoming. We had a great stay.

The Commonwealth is my got-to hotel when visiting BU. The location is fabulous. The hotel is great. But the staff really make it 5-star. They consistently are kind, helpful and seem like they really enjoy their jobs. Yes matter how tired I am after a long flight, the front desk is welcoming and FUNNY. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The amenities are excellent. The gym is small but has everything most guests would need. I have had a few special requests and staff always accomodates. (eg: coffee maker in the room, roll away bed, special room service dietary needs)

Great, classy hotel. Awesome staff. Wonderful location - close to Fenway, MGM, and the T. Only drawback is the rooftop bar is an events only location, so don't choose this if that was what got you when looking at it in the first place. We thought it was an everyday part of the hotel but learned differently.
